Do you know how many rejections it costs to be a breeder?

Being a breeder is not just pictures of cute kittens and pride in beautiful cats.
It is also a whole ocean of rejections that are invisible to someone on the outside.

🕰️ Time? There is no such thing as "free"

You forget about weekends, trips, holidays.
You can't sleep peacefully at night if the pregnant queen is worried.
You can't leave the incubator when one kitten is fighting for its life.
There is no "break" in breeding. Every minute counts.

💸 Money? You invest endlessly
💰 Good cats are expensive - and very expensive.
💰Tests, genetic tests, exhibitions, travel, food, supplements, c-sections, medicines, vaccines,accessories - these are thousands of pounds 💵
💰 Income? Sometimes it just goes away. There isn't any. Sometimes you are left in debt and... with an empty bed.
💔 Emotions? You learn patience and pain

➡️ When a kitten dies in your arms, and you are powerless.
➡️ When a queen does not give birth, despite your efforts.
➡️ When you have to refuse a person who "only wants one kitten", because you see that it will not be a good home.

👩 ⚕️No routine - you are a breeder, but also:

🩺 a nurse/neonatalogist
🍼 foster mother
📖 in genetics
📦 in logistics
📷 a photographer
🧹 a cleaning lady
🧠 a psychologist
💬 advisor to their clients, often for years

👨 👩 👧 👦 family and friends ?? Things can be difficult

- "We can't meet because the queen is giving birth." ""
- "I won't come because the kittens have diarrhea and I need to guard them." ""
- "No, I won't leave them with anyone. "It's my responsibility."

Not everyone will understand. Not everyone will stay.

❤️ But through it all... it's love

Love for animals, for their lives, for the development of the breed.
Love that makes you get up 10 times a night.
Love that doesn't let you take shortcuts.
Love that makes babies grow up healthy and makes you happy despite being sick,or tired.

🐶 A breeder is not a "kitten person".

This is someone who gives up their OWN comfort for the benefit of animals.
This is someone who doesn't equate love with money.
This is someone who lives between joy and pain, and still wouldn't trade it for anything else !!!😍❤️

❤️ Respect passionate breeders. Every day they give everything they can, although no one sees it. ❤️

Ps. I give my consent to copying, let it go into the world because Breeding is not only about cute kittens. 🥰
