Breeder Questionnaire

Question. Are you a current member of any breed clubs and/or associations?
Yes
The Snowshoe Cat Club (an international association based in UK)
Question. Do you health test in accordance with the current standards and recommended guidelines for your breed? Can you demonstrate your knowledge of any required DNA or other health related test results concerning your breed (if applicable).
Yes
Because we have a very rare breed, and a small breeding Group in Australia we use approved Foundation outcrosses to expand and freshen the Australian gene pool. These cats must undergo full genetic and health testing to rule out any hereditary faults or major disease / illness before entering our breeding group as the Snowshoe is renowned for it's good health and we want to keep the breed free of hereditary problems.
Question. Do you ensure that your kittens are appropriately socialised? Please provide details about how you raise your kittens to ensure that their environmental and social needs are met, that they are suitable as pets. And, do you ensure that the new family understands and is equipped to continue this socialisation?
Yes
All the kittens are born in my bedroom and raised in our home. They are used to plenty of human interaction, are dog socialised and also used to lots of visitors. They are also fully acclimatized to all household noises etc.
Question. What written information about the conditions of sale, warranty, and information concerning the care and maintenance of the breed do you provide?
Yes
We sell under written contract with a health guarantee. The kittens are ALL sold already desexed, microchipped, vaccinated & health checked. The buyer must satisfy us that they are a suitable household for our kittens before we proceed. Indoor or safely contained pets only, no free roaming homes are considered suitable. Plus we require the kittens to have company of another animal, or human company, each day and do not sell to homes where the kitten would be home alone all day everyday.
Question. Is ensuring that your kittens go to the right home a high priority? How do you ensure that the kitten will be a good fit, and be well cared for in its new home? Do you have a verbal or personal interview?
Yes
We require convincing that the home is suitable for our kittens. We have a written undertaking about ongoing care or returning the cat to us if unable to continue that care.

Question. In the long term, do you assist with re-homing a kitten or cat if for some reason the new family are unable to care for it?
