What to ask when getting a retired breeding queen?

Heyo, thanks yep she is definitely a very pretty kitty :Luv:.  She got her from another breeder, it may be that she doesn't know off hand as she was at work when replying. I'll be getting her papers, so hopefully they will have it on them.  I'm very excited and really hoping she'll settle in well and that her and Slinki will get on too, he's incredibly playful and constantly demanding attention, which is one of the reasons why my bloke still thinks we should get a kitten instead...just out of curiosity does anyone know how much i should be paying for a rex thats almost 3 years, does it differ much from getting one as a kitten, as i know they go from about £350...not that i intend on getting one, like u said just curious.

Thanks

Rina

Cant' understand why she doesnt know exact DOB. Did she breed her herself? If so she should know exact date. If she bought her in from another breeder then she should also know exact DOB from the pedigree certificate. Anyway - she looks lovely  ;D

I've taken on several ex breeding queens, some have been shy due to lack of handling, others not, but the shy ones blossomed once they were in an ordinary pet home, but it sounds like your girl has been fairly well socialised/handled etc anyway.

That's how I felt, but I'm slightly reassured that it may just be a papers things...if I had had Slinki from a kitten i would be sure to know his birthday and most of details by heart.

Can't remember exact date of birth but April 2004, she is 2 1/2 years old. and has had 2 litters

That's the only bit that rings slight alarm bells with me as she should know exactly when the cat was born!! I

Sol's papers have his 'registered' date not DOB, whereas Fabian has both.  They both came from the same breeder just different forms were used.  Perhaps this is why she only knows the month????
