Bella is back home, AGAIN!!🙄🥰
While Bella will be available for adoption at some point in the distant future, that’s not what this post is about.
Bella is back because she has had some behavioral issues. Her teenage owner is getting ready to go off to college, and mom was done with Bella’s antics. 😿The family actually tried several alternative solutions, before reaching out to me, but as soon as they did, I said I would take her back! THAT is what an ethical, responsible breeder does!!
Many animal rescue fanatics try to blame breeders for the pet overpopulation problem, and for all the unwanted pets in the shelters. I know that misconception couldn’t further from the truth!!
Responsible, ethical cat breeders spay/neuter their kittens and retired breeding cats before placing them in their furever homes. Therefore no contributions to the overpopulation problem!✅
In the event of a furever home turns out not being forever, a responsible, ethical breeder will take back ANY cat or kitten from their cattery, no matter the circumstances! No matter where the cat or kitten is located. Our cats/kittens don’t EVER end up in a shelter, unless of course the former client never contacts us. So, no contribution to overcrowding in shelters! ✅
One more way that responsible, ethical breeders try to make sure that our cats/kittens don’t end up in shelters, is we stay on the cat’s microchip as a secondary contact, FOR LIFE! If a shelter, vet office etc., can’t be reached, we are the next person to be contacted.
Ethical, responsible breeders are NOT the reason shelters are overcrowded or the reason “kitten season” results in SO many homeless kittens. We are trying to do our part to be part of the solution!!🥰
