Читать книгу Cats For Dummies - Gina Spadafori - Страница 49

Attending a show is probably the most enjoyable way to start tracking down a breeder, but you have other options, too.

Most people will immediately perform an internet search, putting the breed they’re interested in and their city or state into the search bar. When the results pop up, they think they’re good to go, but nothing can be further from the truth.

Click-and-ship kitten sellers may be in your neck of the woods, or they can be hundreds or even thousands of miles away, pretending to be local. The kittens may be healthy, or they may be very sick indeed. If you’re looking for a particular breed, it's fine to start with an internet search, but under no circumstances should you submit your credit card information (or use any other means of payment) and buy a kitten online. You may luck out and get a healthy kitten, but you may also be rewarding a cruel operation that isn’t caring for the cats in its care.
