How to Purchase Burmese Kitten | Breeders Directory
So, you have decided that you would like to add a Burmese kitten to your family. Congratulations! You have chosen a wonderful and beautiful breed of cat. A cat that will provide you with years of companionship and love.
We recommend that you purchase your Burmese from a reputable breeder.
If possible, visit the breeder's home and observe the kittens and cats in their home environment. While breeders differ in their methods, the environment should be clean, well-lighted and not crowded. The kittens should be active, playful and full of life. They should appear healthy, as should all the cats in the breeder's home. The eyes and nose should be free of foreign matter and there should be no repeated sneezing.
Select a kitten that appeals to your personality.
Often, a kitten will pickyou out -- not a bad way to begin a lifelong relationship! You can expect your Burmese to live a long life. Many Burmese live well into their teens.Often, breeders will have adult cats available. These older, retired show/breeding cats can make wonderful companions and can be a welcome addition to a home where proper behavior and good manners are needed upon arrival.
Prices for a pet-quality Burmese will vary based on geographic location and
individual kitten's bloodlines and type.
Here are some other things to keep in mind:
* The breeder should guarantee the health of the kitten for a reasonable length time.
* The kitten should have had at least one vaccination, generally given at eight weeks. A booster will be due at about 12 weeks. Breeders vary in their vaccination programs, so be sure to ask as well as consult your own veterinarian.
* The kitten should be guaranteed free of Feline Leukemia virus as well as any other contagious illnesses.
* The breeder should provide you with the kitten's registration papers and a three-generation pedigree once the kitten has been altered. It is common practice for breeders to withhold registration papers until the new owner has spayed or neutered their new kitten. Today, some breeders are taking advantage of early spay-neuter practices and may already have altered their pet kittens.
* The breeder should be available for problem solving and questions during the adjustment period.
Enjoy your new kitten! Your Burmese will keep you entertained for hours at a time and will win your affection for years to come. A Burmese will
undoubtedly bring joy and happiness to your life!
