Advice on where to get a kitten

[Sam12]

I'm looking to get 1 or 2 kittens soon after Easter. I was thinking of getting the kitten(s) via Battersea Dogs/cats home, or Celia Hammond Rescue centre - has anyone got any experience/advice on which one is best, or where best to get the kitten(s)?

Thanks

a mate of mine, at the behest of his wife, bought a Persian kitten... for ?600

Either of those is a good place to give a kitten a home from Sam12. And you are doing absolutely the right thing to look for a pet from a rescue centre. Perhaps if people stopped breeding animals for money and people stopped spending stupid amounts on them, we wouldn't have rescue shelters full of pets in need of loving homes.

I agree, please go to an animal charity. There are so many lovely adult cats and kittens needing good homes.

Also "Animal Samaritans " are always looking for home for cats and kittens

I have had both pedigrees and rescue cats. For me they are entirely separate things, and having a pedigree cat never stopped me from having rescue cats.

Although if you have a specific breed in mind there are breed-specific rescue organisations, though you're not likely to get a kitten.

But tbh you might not get kittens from a shelter either. Often adult cats need homing. Just be open-minded and upfront about what you want and what you can offer. xx

Celia Hammond pretty much always have kittens to rehome. They will want you to take either 2 kittens or the mother and 1 kitten, they will not home one kitten by itself.

Battersea wouldn't give us kittens as we worked full-time, CH's view was that our house with big garden was better than their rescue centre.

this is a troll yes ?

Thanks for your advice - we are probably going to take the Celia Hammond approach with 2 kittens.

Yes you are.

[Sam12]

Not sure why you are asking if I'm a troll - just wanted advice on where to get a kitten or two - I'm leaning towards Celia Hammond, but will see what happens.

It's Keeky who is the troll Sam (and not a very bright one either - most trolls aren't). Ignore it.
