I’ve recently heard a few concerning stories about SA backyard breeders, so I wanted to share a friendly reminder to be cautious when choosing where to get your kitten.
Reputable, registered breeders will always desex their kittens before they go to their new homes. Kittens should also have at least one vaccination, be microchipped, and come with a health record as well as a sales agreement.
A trustworthy breeder will be registered with an official feline association and will gladly show you the living conditions of their cats and kittens. DACO is not an official feline association, it’s a South Australian database used by all councils and used to record council registrations, breeder information and microchips etc.
For the health and safety of your new companion, only bring home a kitten that has had all the necessary vet work completed
