The first thing that seems to a person who is far from breeding animals at the words "cattery of cats" is a separate fenced room where, like tigers, mustache-tailed beasts walk. And the breeder of these animals, like Kuklachev, guides the trained eared ears with a pointing finger.
The opinion about a person who breeds and sells kittens is often very negative: he seems to be a tormentor of animals, then he becomes rich with millions sewn into a mattress from the sale of pedigree pets.
What is a cat breeder?
- A cat or a cat must visit the exhibition and receive diplomas from experts. A specialist may not give a diploma to an animal if it does not meet breed standards or is not prepared, for example, its coat is poorly combed. … An expert may recommend neutering an animal that he does not like. This is usually a huge stress for the owner.
- After receiving diplomas at the exhibition, the owner in the club needs to take a direction for mating. If he only has a cat at home, then
- So, the mating took place, the cat is pregnant, moody and does not feel well. It is better not to invite anyone home at this time, so that she does not get infected with anything, feed her with vitamins, groom and cherish.
- After giving birth, the tension only increases, because the kittens squeak, the cat runs restlessly. The mixture costs 1, 5-2 thousand rubles, and it only lasts for a few days.
- According to the rules of most clubs, kittens must live with their mother for up to three months. Only after this time are they psychologically ready for the move. Age is not taken from the ceiling: kittens socially adapt from two months, that is, they learn to walk in a tray, use a scratching post, eat from a bowl. Usually a month is enough for them to come to the new owner well-mannered and trained.
- It would seem that the costs are over, and you can sell the kittens? Yes, you can. For each animal, you will need to buy a veterinary passport and affix vaccinations there as they appear.
As a result, the owner becomes a good cat breeder, and gradually, over the years, begins to earn a reputation with colleagues and buyers, receives respectful responses in his club.
What is a cat cattery?
Most often, those wishing to purchase their first kitten are advised to contact a registered cattery. Contrary to popular belief, this is not at all a separate room with aviary cages, like a cowshed or stables.
A registered cattery is animals with their owner, who received a felinologist diploma with a training cost of 3 - 5 thousand rubles and officially registered the name of the cattery in the international association and his club.
How to get fabulous profits from the sale of kittens
If you do everything according to the rules of the club, be honest and responsible, there will be no huge earnings here. The maximum that is possible is to justify the amount spent on the breeding cat, exhibitions, money given for mating, feeding and vaccinations of kittens. There may be a small cash "bonus" on top of this, but it is unlikely to cover the moral stress from exhibitions, conflicts with households, sleepless nights and time spent. You need to love cats wholeheartedly in order to be their breeder, to know in advance the upcoming difficulties and monetary costs.
But no one will protect the nervous system of a novice breeder from inadequate colleagues who may begin to criticize his cats, refuting all the good words of the expert at the show. Dog breeders are said to be more balanced and disciplined.
Probably no one will be able to calculate in advance the exact amount of money spent on raising a litter of kittens. The fact is that in addition to the obligatory spending, there are unpredictable ones. A cat or kitten can get sick, and in these cases you have to pay a lot to the veterinary clinic. Feed, filler or other necessary items - rise in price. So, it is definitely not worth counting on earnings from the sale of kittens.
For breeders, breeding and breeding of animals is just an expensive hobby that does not bring financial profit, their favorite business.
