message mpr about this ad They are ready for their new homes. I have One flame point male and one tabby female left from this gorgeous hypoallergenic kittens. Vaccinated and dewormed. Litter box trained and socialized. Sharing this from a friend! Ever wonder how many sacrifices hide behind every litter? Breeding isnt just adorable kitten photos and ribbons in the show ringits an ocean of unseen nos and not-this-times. TIME: Off-duty doesnt exist Weekends, trips, vacationsall postponed or cut short. Movie night? Not while neonates twitch in the whelping box. Peaceful sleep? Impossible when a restless, expectant queen paces, constantly checking to make sure no kittens are laid on. In breeding, every minute matters. MONEY: The outflow never ends Top-tier breeding kitten costsometimes eye-wateringly so. Health screenings, genetic panels, shows, travel, premium nutrition, supplements, meds, vaccines, gearthousands of dollars. Profit? Some litters barely break even; some land you in the red. EMOTIONS: Patience forged in heartache A kitten slipping away in your hands. A queen that wont whelp despite every intervention. Telling a hopeful family no because the match isnt right. Giving everything, yet receiving criticism, envy, or misinformation in return. ROLES: Breederand so much more Nurse Neonatologist Foster mom Geneticist Logistics manager Photographer Janitor Psychologist Lifelong adviser RELATIONSHIPS: Constantly tested Cant meetmy girls in labor. Sorrynew kittens; Im on watch. No, I wont leave themits my responsibility. Some understand. Others drift away. THROUGH IT ALL: LOVE Love for the breed, for each fragile life. Love that wakes you ten times a night. Love that refuses shortcuts. Love that sends healthy, confident kittens into the world, even when youre exhausted. A responsible breeder isnt just a crazy cat lady. They trade personal comfort for feline welfare, measure success in purring snuggles not dollarsand willingly live between exhilaration and heartbreak. Respect responsible breeders. They pour heart, time, and resources into every litteroften unnoticed, always essential. breeding is far more than cute kitten pics, the life of the kitten you receive are planned/prayed for/ and sacrificed for sometimes years in the making message mpr about this ad |
