I am very pleased to announce that my lovely Blue Belle had kittens early this Summer.  I now just have one kitten available-a very affectionate and playful Chocolate male who will be ready to go to his new home in early September.

Bibi, my wonderful Lilac girl, is also due to have her kittens in mid August. Expected colours will be Brown and Chocolate.

If interested in any of the above kittens then please do email me at fandango@madasafish.com

I take the very utmost care when planning each of my girl’s matings to make sure the pedigrees, type and health of the subsequent kittens are of the very best.

Please note all the boys without exception will be on the non-Active Register.

Female kittens will also automatically be on the non active register i.e. no kittens would be registered on the Active GCCF Register to be bred from. I will however take applications for a girl to breed from if I am notified when people first enquire. In order to be placed to be placed on the Active Register this must be stated when first enquired and then subsequently approved of both by myself and the stud owner.

Any kittens I breed have to be of the very best quality and both I and the stud owner will not allow any kittens to be bred from who do not meet these standards. I apologize if this offends anybody but I believe very strongly that our wonderful Burmese type and standard needs to be persevered.

Unfortunately, some people in the past have tried to buy a kitten on the Non Active Register and then without my knowledge and/or consent tried to pressurize me into changing them over to the Active Register in order to try and breed from them without my approval. Please note that I do not in any circumstances change a kitten over from the Non Active to the Active Register and thus any subsequent kittens will not be able to be registered as pedigree Burmese.

First and foremost I aim to breed happy, healthy kittens to be pets to enter a home and become part of the family.

 If, after all of this, you are still interested then please do email me in the first instance at  fandango@madasafish.com

 

If interested

To register an interest in any of my kittens please e-mail me at fandango@madasafish.com

with your details. Unfortunately there have been in the last few years an increase in the fraudulent/scam enquiries and therefore I will only respond to those enquiries that look genuine.

If you are therefore genuinely interested then I’m sure you will not mind me requiring some details.

I would like to know your name, e-mail and telephone contact details. Please note my kittens are not available to export to overseas buyers.

Do let me know if you have/or had other cats and 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. To have a kitten to bred/shown from must be stated from the outset and agreed on by myself and the stud owner. 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. Please enquire before you visit the cost of the deposit. The deposit may be given at the visit or a confirmation email within 24 hours following a visit followed by a cheque will be acceptable. The deposit amount will be specified at the visit. Often visitors need time to decide on which kitten/kittens they want so I am more than happy for them to go away and make a thoughtful decision and then get back to me within 24 hours. I can then let the other people on the list know which kittens are then available in the best possible time. This I feel is the fairest way for everybody on the list who are often desperate to know if a kitten is still available.

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, will have a worming treatment and two health checks from my Vet. The kittens will come with their Pedigree and Registration Papers and four weeks free insurance with Petplan.

Kittens will 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 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. If you do subsequently have to collect your kitten later than 13 weeks this must be agreed when the deposit is given and a charge per day after 13 weeks will be made. Full payment must be made in cash and the full amount minus the deposit must be given on the day of collection.

Unfortunately I now have to insist on cash as I have had several people who have tried to give me cheques which have subsequently bounced!

I do apologize 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. Once I have a number of enquires I close the list. If, therefore, you have asked to be put on the list and you find kittens elsewhere, please, please let me know ASAP in order to take you off the List as other people could be turned away who are desperately 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  

My overriding wish is that any kittens that I help bring into this world go on to the very best of homes where they will be cherished and adored.
