Step-by-Step Guide to Buying a Cat: A Comprehensive Pro

Before bringing a cat into your home, it's strongly advised to do your homework thoroughly. You should at least know the appropriate age for vaccinations, when your cat should be fully vaccinated, and what brand of vaccine is being used. This way, you won't find yourself asking about a twomonthold kitten that has only received one shot, as it's highly unlikely for a kitten of that age to have completed the full vaccine series.

Don't be swayed by the allure of a good deal. Buying a cat on a whim, just to save a few dollars, can lead to heartbreak and financial loss. Cases of purchasing sick or stolen cats are all too common, and such situations occur daily.

Goodlooking, healthy cats are expensive, and it's not uncommon for a lively kitten to be popular. The money you save on the purchase might eventually be spent on veterinary bills, and more. It's important to prioritize a healthy kitten over a cheaper one, as the investment in a healthy pet is crucial.

Be aware of the price ranges for different cat breeds. Breeds like the Ragdoll, Dwarf, and Golden Shaded are considered premium, and they are not on the same level as, say, a Blue Cat. This knowledge will prevent you from expecting a Ragdoll for a budget of just 3000 yuan, as that would be quite unusual.

Choose a kitten based on your preference for a lively or a more laidback pet, especially the one that catches your eye from the very first moment. Once you've set your heart on a kitten, don't waste time haggling, as your favorite one might be gone in the blink of an eye. This is a lesson learned the hard way, and one you should take to heart.

Purchase Process

Method 1: Available Cats

Public reservations are available for available cats. After reserving, a deposit of 30% of the total price of the kitten is required. If the kitten dies or cannot be transferred due to the cat sanctuary's fault, the deposit can be refunded or transferred to another kitten. However, if the buyer decides to放弃 the kitten, the deposit will not be refunded.

Method 2: Queueing

A queueing fee of 1000 yuan is required, which can be deducted from the final payment. This fee primarily grants priority in choosing a kitten. If the first litter is not to your liking, you can choose from the next litter until you find your perfect kitten.

Specific Process

Reservations begin after the kittens are born. The specific reservation time may vary depending on the kittens' condition. Queueing parents choose kittens based on their order, followed by public selection.

If the kitten dies or cannot be transferred due to the cat sanctuary's fault, the deposit can be refunded or transferred to another kitten. However, if the buyer decides to放弃 the kitten, the deposit will not be refunded.

After receiving the deposit, we will provide a list of supplies needed for the kitten. Please start preparing the necessary items and disinfecting the living environment after successful reservation.

Kittens will be ready for their new homes one week after completing their first deworming and vaccination at two months old. The remaining payment must be made before the kitten goes to its new home. During the waiting period, we will send photos, videos, and updates on the kittens' condition regularly.

Once we notify the new parents that the kitten is ready to go home, they must pick up the kitten within the agreed time. If there are special circumstances, please inform us in advance. Failure to pick up the kitten within the agreed time will be considered a cancellation, and the deposit will not be refunded.

All kittens come with a vaccination record.

For transportation, we recommend that buyers in the Pearl River Delta region come to pick up the kitten in person. For those who are unable to or are from distant areas, we offer doortodoor pet transport and air freight. The cost of doortodoor pet transport within Guangdong Province ranges from 50 to 300 yuan, while domestic pet transport costs between 650 and 1000 yuan, which is borne by the buyer. Air freight is only available to cities with direct flights from Shenzhen. Buyers must pick up the kitten at the airport cargo terminal. Domestic pet transport is wellestablished, and we have longstanding partnerships with pet transport companies, so there is no need to worry excessively.
