The checklist aims to help you find a healthy, friendly kitten and to avoid some of the pitfalls which can occur. The checklist covers both pedigree and non-pedigree cats and gives you all of the questions you should be asking the seller. This document looks at what you can find out even before you visit the kitten, what to research, and what to look for when you visit the kitten.
The questions are a guide and prompt you to find out essential things which could affect your kitten’s health and wellbeing, and your future relationship with it. Answers suggesting caution may not be a reason to refuse a kitten, but it can inform you about what to expect or what you may need to do if you take the kitten home (e.g., vaccination, neutering, worming). A brief explanation tells you why finding out these things is essential.
Don’t forget that many homing charities have lots of older cats that need homes and which may even suit your lifestyle better than taking on a young kitten, contact details for relevant charities included in the checklist
