Congratulations Princess Freya! May I suggest you start looking for potential homes for the kittens now? You'll have more time for it now, and if you have a bunch of people lined up you'll not be at sea when they're born, either. And my guess is seven  |

Hadn't thought of looking for potential new owners now. Any ideas where to start? I know there are various free advert sited online, but are they good places to find decent homes? I gues if i "screen" the potential owners I'll get some idea. Do you think it worth preparing a short questionnaire and asking them to fill in? ANd is it worth doing kitten contracts, or is all that sort of stuff really only for GCCF and pedigrees etc? ( well PF is a pedigree, but you know what I mean) Any ideas on asking price too? As I have no idea. Free attracts wrng sort of people, but too much doesnt attract anyone, so much to think about. Been looking into things i going to need for the birth, information varies from a cardboard box lined with plenty old towles or kitchen paper, to things i never heard of before lol!!!! |

Maybe you could hang cards saying you've got some kittens coming and if anyone would like to book them they can contact you? I don't know about asking price, but I'd keep it pretty low. |

20 days and the Vet says she definately is pregnant? She would be straight up the Vets to be spayed if she were mine! Dawn. |

I would prepare a questionnaire CJ - it shows you are serious in finding good homes and it'll scare off wasters. I would hold off on price until you see the kittens - if they are 'to die for' then you can charge more, if they're a bit more ordinary, then obviously charge a little less. However - I guess you could give a price indication (i.e., between £25 and £100 dependent on the kitten), and then see how it goes. As for where to advertise, what about in cat magazines or at the vets? That way you'll be certain to (again) get people who have gone out of their way to look for the kits rather than scanning small ads in the back of the local rag. |

.............but if you go through with this I would advertise in the vets, now (if people are prepared to wait they are half decent) and don't say anything about price until you see the people. One family's £20 for a cat can be as much a sacrifice as another's £250. But remember - they need to care for and neuter the kit. Unless you charge £100 or similar, which includes a free neuter voucher (talk it over with your surgery)? |
