I was not allowed to come and see the kitten during the 13 weeks as they was either too busy or had too many litters of kittens on the go and didnt want me to disturb them
They was very quick to come to me when i said i would pay more on the kitten before i needed to so they could bring another cat in otherwise they would not of got the cat they desperately wanted due to lack of funds.
They have had other kittens available but already committed to other buyers.
My whole experience with this breeder is that it was an effort for them to even keep sending me pictures of the kitten as it was growing over the period of been born to me getting her at the age of 16-18 weeks and 1 e mail reply i got was we do have lives as well as the cats

ok, kittens DO sometimes get eye infections, it can result from just something silly as mum washing their eyes after washing her privates!! xx
secondly, sometimes with newer queens you can end up having a few litters at a time if they al call at the same time and if they need to be bred sometimes it's not easy to do anything about it and you just have to mate them - if a young queen isn't mated after 3-4 calls it can result in nasty complications for the girl that breeders will not chance happening as we know it isn't nice if it happens x
so having a few litters can be something very normal, and not wanting to have problems with the others aswell is an obvious thing, most breeders will not let you see kittens until 9 weeks of age after they have had the first innoculations x
The breeder was honest with you about the problem with the kitten, some wouldn't be, so this shows morals in that respect x
what people don't realise is just how much time kittens take up, and then you also have housework, kids, sometimes a job etc to deal with too - i barely have time to sort pictures sometimes but i make time where and when i can - i however do not have kids or a job x
yes it sometimes does not work out smoothly but if its just an eye infection in the kitten and nothing else then there is no reason why antibiotics won't be the end of it and you could have enjoyed the kitten x
also on them not picking up for a week, again it's very hard work when you have kittens - i do not actually get out of the house until kittens are up to 4 weeks old + x
I am sorry if you do not agree with anything i have said but i have done both sides of this, picking up my pedigree neuters that i have still and also being a breeder aswell x sometimes things do not run smoothly, it's just the way it is hun xx
I am sorry you didn't have the best experience with your breeder though, with everything i have said i do agree it wasn't the best experience, but i can see the other point of view x
