caf56 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 It depends on the type of kitten, i.e. black kittens are generally less popular than others so are cheaper,if I was you I would take a look on Gumtree or a site like that and see what people are charging and then go from there.

zenoria65 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Please don't advertise on Gumtree or anywhere like that - unless you want your kittens to be used as dog fighting bait.... Are you a registered breeder? Why not ask for a contribution for the kittens' vaccinations and neutering for the mother.....

Maybe ask your vet if there is anyone looking for kittens. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/185125-kittens/#findComment-1227607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
singalto Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I too agree: I wouldn?t touch an animal sold on gumtree, I got 2 of my cats for free from a friend and paid ?50 for the other one.

P.O.U.S.theWonderCat Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 What Zenoria65 said. Also, how old are these kittens? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/185125-kittens/#findComment-1227625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
edcam Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Unless you are a professional breeder you should only ask for the cost of the health checks and vaccinations you must have surely carried out by now?

Monkey Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Same comment as others about not using Gumtree and only asking adopter to cover the costs of health checks and vaccinations. Also you need to get your cat neutered. It's not cheap, I suppose, but there are charities which can help, such as the Celia Hammond Trust in Lewisham, and perhaps also the RSPCA London South East.

Saffron Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 For non-pedigree, I think it's reasonable to ask a small amount on top of vaccinations if you've been caring for the kittens and socialising them. Minimum age to rehome is 12-14 wks, and I'd be v suspicious of anyone buying younger kittens. You can't sell kittens on the ED Forum or many other forums. Going through your vet is probably best. xx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/185125-kittens/#findComment-1227809 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP was asking for guidance on how much they should charge for the kittens. So they were focusing on how much money they could get for them. Surely their focus should have been on ensuring the kittens go to someone who loves animals and will give them a good home.

Robert Poste's Child Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 IMO asking the question about charging suggests that the OP was trying to think that through in a responsible and appropriate way - it wasn't a 'kittens for sale' ad. It seems rather harsh to assume that asking about charging precludes caring about their welfare.

stringvest Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hello. Hope the kittens got a good home. I have had very many cats. Never gone looking for them or bought them, somehow they've found me, or I've found them. HERE IS THE HAPPY STORY OF JUST ONE: The latest turned up looking for food in the garden, skin and bone with various wounds, limping from being kicked. It was unneutered and unchipped. We fed it for a while, so it would know to come back. It was frightened of feet, sticks, hoses .... We made it a house from a blue recycling box and put that in the garden with straw in it. It turned up in the box in a terrible state with its ear hanging off from a burst abcess or infection. We took it to the vet and got it some antibiotics. We couldn't neuter it because of the infection ... and vets want you to make an appointment for neutering and make sure it hadn't eaten for the anaesthetic etc. One day after it had been turning up regularly for dinner, it turned up at 5pm so we grabbed it and whisked it to the vet, so they could keep it overnight for neutering the next day. After you have their "wanderings" taken away, you are supposed to keep them in for a few days, but with a hobo climbing the walls, that was too difficult and stressful for it. So we let him back out after a whole day & night and hoped he'd be sensible. He kept coming back everyday for his dinner. He stupidly thought he had to leave at night. He fortunately, wasn't feral, he'd had owners, just bad ones ... he was fearful and cautious and didn't know how to play. One day he came and sat on my lap, you could feel his spine like fishbones. We got him back to the vet, had his jabs and a microchip! He would fill himself up on several bowls of food and go off again. He started visiting during the day, he would sleep for hours on end, and then disappear off all night. (That was to change as I don't like them out all night). We had decided to keep him, he had chosen us.In talking to local people we found that the previous "owner" had moved away and left two cats, but didn't care for them anyway, two brothers, fighting for being unneutered etc. Im not sure if its true though.He started to play, a favourite bell ball he would carry about with him! He would go for you if you stroked his back end, and was quite vicious to play with, he would attack your hands as if was killing something. He had issues and needed understanding. I was pleased we had kept him, as others might not have understood if they had rehomed from the cats home, he might had scratched the children and been turfed out again, or returned to the cats home.After a few weeks, he decided he liked being in at night. We "conditioned/trained" him in that every time he came in he would get treats. We would whistle him in and he would get treats ... all we have to do is whistle and he comes straight back. He plays normally and safely. He enjoys a brush now. He will sit at your feet, sit on your lap, and follow me around, he likes to be where I am, whether I'm hoovering or watering plants etc. You can pick him up for a cuddle. You can twiddle his tail or his toes now. In the beginning, he didn't trust us and I didn't trust him, I wouldn't kiss him goodnight him for thinking he'd stretch my face. But that was then. Now he is a normal cat infant he is an exceptional cat and I'm glad he found me.There are about ten more like that: one bald, one epileptic, FIV, one thrown from flats stuck on a parapet, and one too feral except for me that I had to drive 3 miles to feed daily. s Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/185125-kittens/#findComment-1231808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
