If Interested
To
register an interest in any of my kittens please e-mail me at
fandango@madasafish.com
with your details. I would like to know your name, e-mail and telephone
contact details. Please note my kittens are not available to overseas
buyers.
Do let me know if you have other cats and if they go outside, what methods
have been made to ensure their safety.
Most of my kittens go to homes where they are much loved and pampered pets.
Very occasionally I will let a kitten go that can be bred from. I think all
of my kittens are beautiful but accept that some may not be up to Show
Standard or want to be shown. I therefore cannot be held responsible if a
kitten I sell is not up to show standard or is not suitable for breeding.
First and foremost they are meant to be part of your family for the rest of
their lives.
If you want to be considered as a prospective owner of one of my kittens,
then e-mail me at
fandango@madasafish.com Once
you are on a list I will keep you informed of the litter's progress.
Prearranged visits when the kittens are able to cope with visitors i.e. at
4-6 weeks of age is encouraged.
When a visit is arranged I will give you detailed directions of how to get
here, but would ask that you keep the number of visitors to a minimum i.e.
preferably just two people- I have had one family turn up in the past with 9
people!
My
overriding concern when I have visitors, is the safety and comfort of my
cats, and I ask visitors to respect this.
Once we have arranged a visit, then do please let me know if you are not
going to be able to arrive at the prearranged time. Unfortunately I have
experienced people either arriving hours earlier or later than they said
they would-or simply not turning up at all…If I know you are due to arrive,
I will have a map close by me, in case you get lost!
It
is imperative that you do not see another litter on the day you are due to
visit me, as visits between un-inoculated kittens could spread infection.
Please make sure that yourself and anybody you bring have not been in
contact with any infectious diseases including Cat Flu, Ringworm and fleas.
If in any doubt, contact me first!
Once you arrive I will ask all visitors to remove their shoes and wash their
hands.
Please handle the kittens with due respect for their young age. If you bring
children, then I would ask that you monitor their behaviour at all times. I
will not allow any of my kittens or cats to be roughly handled. Often, there
is a lot of interest in a litter of kittens, with more people expressing an
interest, than the number of kittens available. I will therefore invite
people to visit in the order that they contacted me. Once they have visited,
then a kitten or kittens are only secured through a deposit which is non-
refundable.
I
will keep prospective owners informed of their kitten’s progress. Kittens
will only be able to go to their new homes on the week that they are 13
weeks old as per the guidelines from the GCCF. Each kitten will have had the
two inoculations for Cat Flu and Enteritis, two courses of worming treatment
and a health check from my Vet. The kittens will come with their Pedigree
and Registration Papers and four weeks free insurance with Petplan. Kittens
will normally be placed on the Non- Active Register (not for breeding). If a
girl is wanted for breeding then this must be stated when first enquiring.
Male kittens are only be available on the Non Active Register. Please do not
expect me to change them from the Non- Active Register if you then
subsequently try to breed from one of my cats. If you find this confusing or
want more details then do please ask when you visit.
Once the deposit
has been accepted, the kitten must be collected in the week when the kitten
is 13 weeks old. I regret I am not able to keep the kitten beyond this time.
Payment must be made in cash and the full amount minus the deposit must be
given on the day of collection.
Unfortunately I have to make this a requirement as I have had several people
who have tried to give me post-dated cheques or cheques which have
subsequently bounced!
I
do apologise that all the above may sound a little pedantic but it is only
after a number of years of having had things go slightly wrong at times that
I feel able to make it clear what I and prospective owners can expect. At
the end of the day, the cat's welfare is paramount and I just ask people to
remember and respect that.
I keep a list of
people who contact me and do contact them once I have a litter of kittens.
If however you find kittens elsewhere after having contacted me, I would be
very grateful if you could let me know ASAP in order to take you off the
List as other people will be waiting. If I haven't put any genuine people
off, and you are still interested in wanting a kitten from me, then please
do e-mail me at
fandango@madasafish.com
