Cats for Sale in Perth – Choosing the Right Breeder
When you search for cats for sale in Perth you will see a mix of options. There are classified ads, pet shops, rescues, and registered breeders. Each has very different standards for health, temperament, and how kittens are raised. As a breeder myself I believe the very best way to bring a kitten or cat into your life is to buy from a registered breeder who is passionate about their cats and committed to the long term wellbeing of the breed.
A registered breeder will belong to a recognised cat association. This means their cats are pedigreed and that breeding is done to a standard. Kittens are raised with health and temperament as a priority and are well socialised before they go to their new homes. You will be able to meet the kitten’s parents, see where the kittens are raised, and ask questions about British Shorthair personality, health testing, vaccinations, and diet.
The process of buying from a registered breeder often involves joining a waiting list. This is not a bad thing. In fact, it is a sign that the breeder is not producing large numbers of kittens at once. It gives you time to prepare for your new family member and to be matched with the right kitten for your lifestyle.

Costs can vary depending on colour, pedigrees, and whether the kitten is sold as a pet or for breeding. While you might see cheaper cats advertised elsewhere it is important to consider what you are paying for. A well-bred kitten from a registered breeder will have been vaccinated, microchipped, health checked, and desexed if sold as a pet.
