Re: How to spot a dodgy kitten buyer?
I would always insist on a landline number and their address for contacting them and never a mobile only.
Buyers will usually provide both. Then you can check their details on 192.com.

Re: How to spot a dodgy kitten buyer?
Strange
I would go with your gut feelings about this person!If your in any doubt you should say NO to her. I'm not sure were you stand if you have taken a deposit though ![]() you might have to sell her the kitten if money has exchanged hands ![]() I was reading something about this a few weeks ago and the same thing happened to another breeder she took a deposit and tried to back out of the sale the buyer took the breeder to court and had to go through with the sale ![]()

Re: How to spot a dodgy kitten buyer?
I would definitely go with your gut instinct. The couple of times in the beginning that I didn't, I regretted it. Its a rule I live by now, but at least I have peace of mind.
If she wants the kitten for show, and that could have been the reason that she was so interested in the number of chs on the ped, some people think that that guarantees that the kitten will also be a show winner, then tell her the kitten has developed some kind of w/h fault - popped a sturnum or you have noticed a tail pip or something. |

Re: How to spot a dodgy kitten buyer?
I won't repeat what everyone else has said but have learnt never to take deposits but to reassure those whom I feel positive about that my word is as good as theirs. If buyers are genuine about wanting a kitten, they will provide honest information about themselves and a breeder would do likewise.
I am not entirely certain that you can be MADE to go through with this sale. It seems as if she never really checked the kitten over thoroughly and presumed that its lineage/paperwork alone would guarantee his future show career. Main thing is, you still have him. There are plenty of good, genuine buyers out there. I hope you get this sorted.
