Re: kittens in pets shop
My cat Doris was purchased out of a pet shop because I felt sorry for her she cost us £15 & same again covered in fleas which they knew about as they tried to sell us some cr@ppy spray which doesn't work - Got home & she was frontlined straight away!

Re: kittens in pets shop
Absolutely disgusting
![]() The only reason pet shops sell kittens is because it's a lucrative business and they know it will draw people into the shop to buy even if it is for the worst reason - impulse buying and nagging kids. And what do they care if the poor kitten ends up as a temporary play thing, then booted out when no longer the cute kitten, they go off to the pet shop to buy another eek: as it's more trade for them.I would love to know which low life breeders these shops are getting them from. ![]() |

Re: kittens in pets shop
I actually thought it was against the law to sell dogs and cats in pet shops in England... obviously I was wrong!
I remember when I moved over to Spain, I went into a petshop and they had puppies and kittens... I was gobsmacked. I'd never been in a petshop before that sold kittens and pups. My boyfriend laughed at me and said yeah... it's normal lol. They looked so sad, they were kept in dirty cages/tanks. They had all poo stuck to their backsides... some were vicious and beating up the other pups... it was horrible to see ![]() They weren't moving around alot... all had sticky eyes etc etc... and were all panting badly cause they were boliing hot. I hated seeing it ![]() Amongst the many I saw there were, British Bull Dogs, Shar Peis, Poodles, English Bull Terriers, Pugs, Spaniels... and many more. |

Re: kittens in pets shop
Our local pet shop sells them as well. They are kept in large cages at side of counter and look clean.They sel them for £60 each with a kitten pack. I have noticed though they are fed on adult whiskas. When i asked them about it they said thats what the person feeds them on were they get them from. They had 2 different litters in other day when i called in. Dont usually go in there but needed cat litter I could have brought them all home there was 6 in 1 cage and 4 in another. I know rspca keep an eye on them though to make sure they are been kept ok.

Re: kittens in pets shop
I too thought this was a thing of the past
What gets me is what sort of people sell their kitten & puppies to petshops in the first place? Do the babies stay with their mums long enough? Has a vet checked them over? Do shop keepers really know how to care for a mass of kittens? The questions are endless.This should be outlawed!! And if any pet shop near me did this I would never buy anything from there and would do my best to make sure no one else did either ![]()
