It is important that the kittens are kept warm - winter litters may mean vastly increased heating bills. Your household will revolve around kittens' feeding times, changing litter trays, providing litter etc. Food cannot be left down at breakfast time to be renewed when you return from work in the evening - the mother may eat it all or in the summer flies may lay eggs on it, which means the kittens get nothing, or infected food. Sit down beforehand and work out your expenses. You will need to think of special bedding, leukaemia testing, stud fees, travelling expenses to the stud and the vet, special food, extra heating, lost holiday time for kittening if you are working, inoculation for kittens and registration fees.
Breeding means a big commitment.
They are only yours on loan for three months and then they have to go to new homes. It is up to you to find the right kind of home and owners and you will probably have to devote a lot of time to prospective new owners. How to go about Cat Breeding Firstly, you must ensure your girl is on the Active Register. Make plans well in advance of when you want her to be mated. She will kitten nine week after mating and there will be three months in which the kittens need to be reared and cared for - this makes a minimum of five months in all and could be a longer period if your queen does not come into season when expected, or if you have problems with the litter and they are not ready to leave you at three months.
