Hi there, i only sell my kittens as pets if you decide to breed from them i don't have a problem but they wont be registered. They will have a pedigree birth certificate to prove they are pedigree but will not be registered active.
I don't agree with charging an extra £800 or so just for a piece of paper an to have the cat on file so to speak! I have 1 female £500,shes spotted with a silver glitter from her dad,he is a beautiful blue eyed snow spotted Bengal, and 1 male £400,he's brown marbled very wild looking.
If you decide your interested let me know and ill email you some pictures or your welcome to come and visit.


I then asked her what she sells her kittens for and her repsonse was:
Hi again, you can sell them as pedigrees still, for around £500 each depending on the sex colour and markings. Just as i do.

Now im sure she is a really good breeder - but how can she get away with charging top money for kittens that are not registered??? Is this acceptable??? Do people who are buying for pets not worry about the registration papers???


I bought my siamese for pets, and they were not registered. I had never had pedigree cats before and rightly or wrongly didnt see the point in having papers?
