What questions do you ask?

I had a woman come today to see my kittens and she wants one of my boys to show, she came with her mum who breeds devon rex, this lady gave me £100 deposit and i wrote a reciept, and when she got home she emailed me and said id put the wrong price on the reciept, i dont know why she didnt bring this up at my house, iv said i will send her deposit back because i have a bad feeling about her and when she wrote her address and contact number she has only given a mobile number which i found strange?
She seemed more interested on the champions on the pedigree than she did with the kitten.
I just have a bad gut feeling, how do you all decide who to let your kittens go to?

when you say , she said you had put the wrong price on the receipt what did you mean, that the deposit price was wrong or total price, she should have checked her receipt at your house, i agree and to be honest she should have been all over the kitten not the paperwork, i think and i would say always go with your gut feeling over anyone!!!

Does she want the kitten as a show neuter or for show/breed? Sounds to me as if she is studying the pedigree with a view to breeding from your kitten in the future.

I would go by gut instinct.
Personally if something doesn't feel right after meeting a buyer then I wouldn't sell.

Hi,

Archiebaby this woman said i told her a price in email and then when i put the price on the reciept she said it was more, but that is the price for all the kittens, she looked at the reciept then folded it and put it in her bag and handed over the cash, so she should have said then!

Her mum was dropping lots of names of people from shows, and i dont show. But she was more interested in the amount of champs on the pedigree!

Angeli she said show/neuter, the mating certificate stipulates no boys go on the active register, which im happy with anyway.

But i think they have intentions on using him with the devons

can you not forward the original email over to her to prove you were right anyway ? but i would really go with my gut feeling and if you are not sure then return her deposit, i am sure there are loads of genuine people out there for your little kitten

can i ask just out of nosiness , hou much are kittens now?

Mmmm I would say they are more interested in the potential breeding lines there is on the pedigree. If she is buying a show/neuter then I would have expected her to be very hands on with the kitten as she is planning to show him ??!!!

How much attention did they pay to the kitten? Regardless of what they want the kitten for it is a bad sign.

Definitely something not right there

They are around £350-400

I want to return her deposit but she has'nt replied to my email, so i think she is going to leave things for a few days and hope she will still get him? her mobile is unavaliable.
