MandaBurms Cattery are animal
lovers and pride ourselves in raising the standard of NZ
animal breeders. Sadly not all breeders have excellent
housing facilities or healthy pampered animals.
We
do not agree with line breeding or in breeding - eg
mating a Grandfather with a grandaughter. Our
breeding programe is set up so no in breeding
happens - all our girls can breed with our stud -
Lordy and are not related. This gives us a greater
gene pool - and healthier cats/kittens.
If you are buying off a breeder please
before you buy see as much of the breeders cattery
first not just what the breeder wants you to see.
Cjeck to see if they line breed - see the kittens
pedigree.
Check that the adult cats are
housed in clean, warm and stimulating enviroment. The
units are clean and smell free (stud cats do have their
own aftershave!)
Ask what food the cats are being
fed which should be a diet of fresh meat &
vet/pet shop quality dry food.
All cats & kittens should be
free from runny eyes, sneezing, fleas, ear mites or loose,
smelly stools. They should also be confident and out going
when you meet them.
MandaBurms Cattery is happy
to give new owners written approval for your vet to
see all our veterinary records (Your vet may charge you
for his/her time)
And never
buy FROM A PET SHOP as you will have no way of
knowing where your kitten has come from let alone what
sort of a start it has had!
You too can help raise the
standard of NZ animal breeders by only purchasing off a
breeder who has excellent facilities and
care for their breeding animals.
