Title: disapointed
Post by: MBll on June 01, 2008, 23:18:07 PM

Theres a post on that site for 2 kittens that are both blind in one eye, the person wanted them to go together so i emailed with my phone number & the lassie phoned me this afternoon. Well she homed 1 on her/his own & left with the other wee one.  :'(   She said she would call back with arrangemets but has posted the wee kitten up again  :'(

So i guess i have lost out on this wee one...i hope they get  responsible folk

Dont have her number but she has mine & email ...wasni the fact that the kittens were free was more to do with them being blind...dont know what kind of home they went to  but hope it was indoor?  I think that she has reposted them & selling instead as i have seen an ad with the same wording, area etc for stupid money.


I would really love to know what makes folk think an NON PEDIGREE  in other words a MOGGY worth £70 plus ...most folk are pricing kittens £100 plus & at far to young an age.


I would also love to know why  someone  STUPID enough to buy kitens at that price .........its not just the ridiculous price but encouraging  folk to continually breed  their females & sell the litter at under 8 weeks old..theres even ads all over the place to   stud out their tom & looking for  a male to make babys with my female ads

it just exploits the cats but the fact that people are willing to pay this money for kittens just encourages people to breed their own cats even more.

It is a heart breaking scenario but you are left with the only option to encourage people to go through rescue but many won't as they have to wait so long on a kitten and so will just go out and spend rediculous money to members of the public. Last year not far from here someone was selling moggy kittens for £150 and getting it!!!!!!  sickening!
