I am new here, just been on a few days, and decided to do one of these threads.
I have two gorgeous girls, One is a Bombay, the other is a mix of Bombay and DLH (she's really interesting because she has the gorgeous black coloring, coppery green eyes, and temperament ((I can't keep her out of any drawer cabinet or bag in the house. she can even open doors and windows!)) but her fur, instead of being perfectly sleek and short, is really long, but still has the silky feel.)
I also have a terrier/weenie dog mix, also solid black!
My Bombay/DLH is 62 days along in her pregnancy, and FAT FAT FAT! But she's happy and spoiled too.
No, I am not a backyard breeder. We live in a small town a good hour or more away from any "city." Believe it or not, in my (tiny!) town there are really very few stray cats. I volunteer at the shelter,and they rarely have more than 2 or 3 cats at a time for adoption. They have gone over a month with no cats brought in. (Dogs are sadly another matter.
)
The worst stray cat problem we have is at the local walmart, but even that is unique. The manger had the two siblings trapped, altered, and then released into the garden center where they have beds and are fed. walmart mascots! There is a lot of call for safe breeders in our area. We carefully chose a beautiful black DLH to breed with ours, limited the amount of time they were together to mate, and have had constant vet consults and checkups. This is not her first litter, or mine, and we are doing everything we can to keep both momma and babies safe and healthy.
Two of her kittens are promised to family friends, the others are all going up for sale (not a large amount, but enough to discourage any "unsafe kitty parents.") Our second option is that we will give the kitten for free, if they agree to get the kitten spayed/neutered and actually meet us at the vet's office. We will also be asking for contact info and addresses of all those who adopt, and require they let us do a checkup on each kitten a month after adoption to make sure they are okay. I know there are a lot of pure blood line breeders out there, but not everyone can afford the cost of a pure breed. We want to give people a safe, affordable option to adopt a furry child.
I will have to upload some pictures of my girls later!
Thanks for such a great forum.
