Where to get a kitten (E. Midlands)

[davefowler1987]

Evening All

Does anyone know of a local reputable kitten breeder, we are not looking for pedigree but somewhere that has had a good start to life!

Ideally we a looking for a male kitten - around 8 - 12 weeks old. If anyone knows of any that need a good home, please let us know.

Cheers

Dave

You will probably need to phone them up to find out about kittens as CPL don't tend to advertise them on the website. Also 99% of people who phone up CPL want a kitten rather than an older cat. In fact most of those older cats probably got given to CPL by people who got them as kittens and then the novelty wore off

Thanks for the advice

Not looking for a rescue cat at the moment,

Shame when people don't respect the commitment they make!

Cats protection althouh rescue technically, do have kittens in from just weeks old and ready to home at 8 weeks ,just like most breeders...

Our two came from CPL. They were born at CPL as their mum was pregnant when she came to CPL so they had a very good start.
Mum was subsequently spayed & kept by one of the CPL ladies.

you could always look up sites like...

www.preloved.co.uk
www.pets4homes.co.uk
www.gumtree.com/pets/

not sure you could tell they were reputable though?

Vets can keep details of kittens needing new homes.

I'm not sure what real difference there is between a 'non-pedigree kitten breeder' (do they exist?) and a rescue kitten. Just get one you like and that likes you

It's a good few more weeks before kittens will be freely available yet. Late Spring and into Summer AFAIK is the time when they are most about.
