cycas Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 A friend of Mark's has decided she wants a pair of kittens. Because rescue centres tend not to put kittens on their websites as they go quickly, she has decided 'there are no rescue kittens' and is considering buying a pair of supposedly half-Bengal, half Persian X kits from an ad she has found. £300+ per kitten from a Bengal breeder. She wanted kittens because she has a nervous older cat and felt the introductions would be easier than with an adult cat. I'm dubious that a pair of half-Bengals which will soon be big, bouncy and rumbustious is a good choice with her nervous oldie - and in any case, would like to encourage her towards rescues. Does anyone know of a rescue that definitely has kittens seeking homes just now? She's in Devon, but probably could drive a fair way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I help a local voluntary group in Wiltshire called Cat Rescue www.cat-rescue1.co.uk and although we don't have kittens at present I currently have 5 pregnant females! If your friend was prepared to wait there should be a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanne Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yes we will!! I am helping the RSPCA remove a colony of cats from an industrial estate due to health and safety issues. They were in danger of having pest control people called out, I dread to think of their fate if that happened. All cats have tested negative for FIV and FeLV and two of the pregnant mums are quite friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
