Where can I get a kitten in London? Only serious answers please & not rescue homes as they mainly have cats.?

Question

Preferably female & not too expensive. We are buying a house which has a garden and we'd love it to join in the fun!

Err...What's the big deal with cats and not kittens!! If kittens are looked after properly then you don't get abandoned cats! So what do you propose people do with unwanted kittens then-drown them?

Answer 1

I'd also recommend that you tried Kittenlist. It lets you search by area as well as by type of cat.
http://www.kittenlist.co.uk/index.php?page=adsearch&ar=Greater%20London

There's also Preloved:

And these:

But I'd also try the rescue pages ... I searched on cat rescue & London & found that the Cats Protection have three four month old kittens looking for a new home:

And here, in Canning Town is another poor little baby ... though they'd also like a home for his Mum:

Twiglet & Twitch are adorable.

Good luck, hope you find what you're looking for

Answer 2

I live in America so I can't help you that much. However, what is wrong with an older cat? They are wonderful. Everyone wants kittens and there are so many loving adult cats out there that have to be "destroyed" because people would rather have a kitten. If you are going to be keeping it outdoors, an older cat would be more practical. I know kittens are adorable but they really can be a pain in the neck. They are more interested in playing then in being pet. You should be able to find an older kitten right now (it might not be all tiny like you want). This isn't really the right time of year for kittens, you'd have to wait for spring. I don't mean to sound like I'm lecturing, it's just that I get so frustrated by all the unwanted cats out there. Alot of them have the greatest personalities and too many are "destroyed" because people prefrer kittens and of course, don't spay/neuter their cats. Whatever you decide, promise me that you'll have it spayed or neutered. Good luck. Please give an older kitten or cat a chance! Kittens stay small so shorty anyways, they grow up very quickly.

Answer 3

It's the wrong time of year for kittens, there are some but not a lot. If you really want a kitten contat Cats Protection or RSPCA and be prepared to wait.

2 things will happen,

1) the kittens bought as christmas presents will be rejected in February

2) In spring cats start to breed so there will be kittens available.

You might like to consider adopting 2 kittens. Or you could adopt a mother cat and kitten, the kittens always find homes but the mother cats are often overlooked.

Please DO NOT get a kitten from someone advertising them in the paper - there are thousands of unwanted cats and most of them started off as kittens born to cats who's owners couldn't be bothered to have their cat done. As long as these people can sell or give away a kitten they will continue to allow their cat to breed.

Cats Protection do not charge for their cats and you get a voucher to have kittens nuetered. The cat will also be vacinated, blood tested and microchiped.

Answer 4

plenty advertised in the loot during the kitten season. Expect to pay from £60 upwards. You also need to allow £30+ for vaccinations, plus £20 per year for flea treatment and another fiver for womring, plus £25 for microchipping. On top of that the usual food, litter etc.2 kittens are better than one. You will have to keep the kitten indoors until it is around 6 months old and when you allow it out make sure you always keep it indoors overnight.

Answer 5

The kitten photos, and later fixing and in all likelihood declawing can fee lots- yet not as much as letting the cat fall unwell might. in case you get your kitten from the SPCA, they might grant help to with the vet costs. around right here, the fees tend to run between $70 and $one hundred, with greater for emergencies. yet that's with out help, and in an area that is form of expensive besides. you should chat including your vet to get a greater helpful concept of your costs. once you carry your kitten domicile, you will choose kitten chow, a food bowl, possibly a water bowl that your kitten can not tip over (we had a extensive concern with our modern-day pair doing that), a muddle field, and doubtless a pair of jingle-ball toys. and do not forget approximately a scooper. For muddle, we use a clumping variety: that's less complicated to maintain clean than clay muddle. it is likewise possible to prefer to coach your kitten to placed on a harness or collar, yet that's non-obligatory in the experience that your kitty is going to be strictly indoors. Congratulations, and good success!

Answer 6

Still consider animal rescues...I know many of them where I live here in the states do have kittens because many of these places end up with pregnant cats.

Answer 7

You might want to consider rescue homes - there are a lot of cats out there that need a home - kittens are cute but they grow up quick. if you really like cats, why not take the grown up/moral choice?

Answer 8

I noticed that the local free magazine had a section for dogs and cats - maybe you could try looking in time out, Evening Standard and other local papers/magazines pertinent to your area - if you don't fancy buying all these, they should be available in the local library

Answer 9

There is a website called vivastreet I think, where people advertise newborn puppies & kittens for sale or to give away to good homes.

Answer 10

there is such place in London called dogs trust so you might try out cats trust....like look it up on the internet and find where it is and go there and buy a cat!
