Some breeders house their animals outside cattery, others within their homes. A reputable breeder will not hesitate to allow a prospective owner to visit. The advantage of the house reared litter is that kittens are socialized earlier.They have greater contact with day-to-day noise,humans and perhaps other animals such as dogs. On the other hand,the disinfection and restricted contact routine f a first-rate cattery reduces the risk of disease and infection.Kittens from a good cattery will be handled and socialized,but this process cannot be as completed as if they were raised within the home.Beware of the unscrupulous cattery owner rearing kittens solely for financial gain.Conditions can often be substantiated.
Usually you need to make an appointment to see and select from a litter of kittens, but it is possible to book a kitten in advance of delivery if you are drawn to a particular cat. By visiting the breeder,you can assess the general environment and conditions in which kittens have been brought up in the first few vital weeks of their lives. If you ask the right questions and the rest of the litter, the mother and possibly the father, you will be able to build up the complete picture of the kittens heritage.
