💖 being an ethical breeder💖
No matter the price, I will always spay and neuter my kittens before they leave. Even if it costs me half of what the kitten is worth. Why? Because I’ve seen exactly what happens when you don’t.
The same people who beg me not to fix a kitten are the ones who promise they will “later.” They come with every story you can think of, asking to take them earlier than 16 weeks etc etc, saying they’ll do the right thing once they get settled. And time after time, those are the very same people who never follow through.
Then months later, they’re posting kittens. Breeding cats they were never given rights to or breeding something they shouldn’t. Contributing to the exact problem ethical breeders are working so hard to fix.
This is not about control. This is about responsibility.
As a breeder, you are accountable for every life you bring into this world, even after it leaves your home. Contracts are only as strong as the person behind them, and unfortunately not everyone honors their word.
Spay and neuter before leaving is not extreme. It is prevention. It protects my lines, my program, and most importantly the future of the breed.
If someone truly respects your program, they will respect your policies.
You don’t breed just to breed. And the reality is, most of the people doing this don’t last. A year or two at most, but in that short time they add to the problem. No take-back policy, no accountability, no follow-through. Kittens aren’t chipped properly, and when they end up in shelters there’s no way back to the breeder.
That is exactly what I refuse to be a part of.
