If you have decided to introduce a kitten to your life, the next step is to decide what kind of kitten would be most appropriate. There are a great deal of kittens for sale, and they won’t all be appropriate for your way of life.

The very first thing you need to decide is whether you want a pedigree kitten or a moggy.

Moggies
If you choose a moggy kitten (a kitten not of any particular breed, or indeed a cross between two specific cat breeds), then you can find them most places. Kitten classifieds on the internet, ads in local newspapers, on shop advertising sections, or asking at your local vets if they are aware of anyone selling a kitten. You should be able to locate a kitten in your local area quite easily Most likely, if a moggy kitten is your choice, you’ll be spoilt for choice!

Moggys are usually of a calm, friendly temperament, unless they are mixed bred with a known temperamental breed. It is usually safe to assume they will be good with children. They should also be resilient, and less prone to illness and also easier on your wallet.

Pedigrees
On the other end of the scale, Pedigree kittens are normally rarer, particularly if you have a specific breed in mind. If you’re intending to keep your kitten with kids, you should consider researching the breeds you are interested in, and dismissing the ones that have known issues with kids! Breeds such as Siamese or Burmese kittens have a tendency to strike and claw if provoked, making them an unsuitable choice for a home with children.

Also, be aware of any kitten breeds which are more prone to sickness, and those that actually have relatively short life spans, and consider all this information before finally choosing what kitten suits you best.

Having chosen the breed that suits you, your family and your lifestyle, many people choose to get their kitten through a reputable kitten breeder. Always ensure your pedigree kitten comes with all the official documents so you know you’re getting a 100% healthy pedigree kitten. You should also research the average cost of your chosen breed before making any payment.

All the effort taken is worth it to find the ideal kitten for everyone, with any luck your kitten will be part of the family for many years.
