No, I have no intention of declawing my kitten, ever, regardless of what this breeder has to say.
I might end up anemic, but he'll keep his claws intact.
I appreciate all your responses...thanks so much.
Is it true that the Feline Leukemia Vacinnation can cause illness/death in Ragdolls?
Same breeder (the one that has declawed all her cats "but one") in her contract states it is recommended that you do not allow your kitten to have Feline Leukemia Shot as some Ragdolls are allergic to the shot...
Is it common practice for a breeder to include a "no-declawing allowed" clause in her contract, and then advise the buyer, verbally of course, that they can choose to ignore that "no-declawing" clause and have the Ragdoll kitten declawed if they wish to ? The breeder also advised "all my cats...
Yes, I do have a contract stating kitten was in good health at time of sale.
I also have all documentation from our first and all vet checks.
I have not had recent contact with breeder. The info regarding "starving" the kitten was actually posted on a complaint website.
Thank you for your...
Hi FerrisCat...
Good to hear from you. Yes, I did what you advised and thank you again for the information.
Oliver is doing really well...eye infection has cleared nicely with the medication.
A posted response from breeder states that "if this kitten weighed 15 ounces on 9/14 was because...
He's been taking Clavamox for the URI since 9/14 (first vet check), no more sneezing/coughing. His diarrhea had cleared up completely within the first few days, stools are firm. The vet prescribed Gentamicin Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution for his eye. Wants us to call Monday morning with a report...
Thanks for the feeding advice. He's got a really good appetite.
I promise to post pictures as soon as I get me camera up and working.
Hopefully in the next few days.
Thanks again.
Thank you for the information, and the good thoughts..I do appreciate it.
We were back to the vet today for what appears to be an eye infection.
That the bad news, but hopefully a minor concern. Our good news is
our little boy weighs in a 1.9 lbs. !!! I was so excited !
He weighed 15 ounces...
Why isn't it right to name the breeder ? I have the documentation to prove every word. How can telling the truth get me in trouble ?
I guess I'm just one of those old-fashioned people that believe we should all be held accountable for our actions, including me. I am guilty of not doing more...
I would really appreciate opinions on this issue. We purchased a male Ragdoll kitten from (breeders name redacted). We made the 7 hour drive when we were advised he was ready to be picked up. He was approx 9 weeks 3 days old when we got him and the skinniest, smallest kitten we had ever seen...
