How Novices Can Buy High – Cost – Performance British Shorthair Cats: Focus on Price

Second Episode – Price

How on earth can novices buy high – cost – performance cats?

Many catteries are extremely headache – ridden when novices consult them. Some silently complain, and some hot – tempered ones directly lose their temper. In fact, neither side is wrong. It’s just really difficult for two people from completely different worlds to communicate. So before choosing a cat, novices should calm down, learn some knowledge about the breed, and consider the following questions before communicating with breeders, which will be more effective.

First, clarify your budget. Generally, for pet – keeping families, it is recommended to buy a sterilized cat from a regular cattery, which is the most cost – effective. The price is above 5000 yuan, with no upper limit, and it is related to the appearance and bloodline grades. After clarifying the budget, compare it with each grade to see the cats you can buy:

Budget below 2000 yuan: It is not recommended to buy kittens. Basically, the kittens bought at this price are too risky. Many of them end up in the hospital right after being brought home. The most common cat ringworm can make novices complain incessantly, not to mention other diseases. With treatment costs often running into thousands of yuan, why not give up that little bit of luck in your heart and buy a cat that gives you peace of mind? For those who don’t mind adopting an adult cat, you can ask the cattery about retired breeding cats available for adoption. These are breeding – grade cats and are the cattery’s heroes. They have good appearances and bloodlines, and many only require paying the sterilization fee, which is quite a bargain.

2000 – 5000 yuan: In this price range, you still need to beware of sick cats and cross – bred cats, and basically, you can’t buy a single – C cat (a cat without a complete registration certificate). Unless it’s an extremely rare case of a single – C cat with a particularly poor appearance or a single – C cat 忽悠 (cheated) by unscrupulous cat dealers, after all, a single – C cat has no certificate. For this budget range, the focus should still be on the health of the kitten. Pay close attention to the breeder’s character, which is directly related to whether they provide you with the true information about the parents, the diet, daily life, and living environment of the breeding cats. Don’t pay too much attention to the appearance.

5000 – 10000 yuan: The probability of buying sick cats, cross – bred cats, and other “backyard cats” in this price range is much smaller, and there are more choices. However, there are still cat dealers and unscrupulous breeders. You can buy a good single – C cat or a disqualified registered cat, or a sterilized cat with a good bloodline. You can find sterilized cats from your favorite catteries as pets according to your preferences, or buy a single – C cat with a good appearance for breeding. In this grade, British Shorthairs with patterns are more expensive than solid – colored ones.

10000 – 15000 yuan: Basically, you can rule out cat dealers and sick cats and can buy with confidence. Pet – keeping families pursuing high – quality cats can choose sterilized cats from well – known catteries; new breeders can buy excellent single – C cats and the cheapest cats with breeding rights, which are generally cats with unknown bloodlines or average appearances and bloodlines. You can choose according to your own purposes and preferences.

15000 – 25000 yuan: Most of the people in this budget range are breeders. You can buy cats from new catteries with mainstream good bloodlines, the second – or third – generation offspring of cats with good bloodlines. But it’s definitely impossible to buy the first – generation direct – blood offspring of famous bloodlines. The breeding cats of new catteries are mostly purchased from large catteries. In the initial stage, they have no popularity, especially the price of the first – time breeding will be slightly lower than the market price. You can choose your favorite bloodline and select breeding cats according to your own breeding direction. In this price range, the price of patterned cats is still higher than that of solid – colored cats.
