You can also find breeders through the listings in Cat Fancy and Cats Magazine . These are the two magazines in the US with the largest circulations, and consequently with the largest breeders classified sections. You can probably find one or both of these magazines at a well-stocked newsstand. Just because a breeder advertises in these magazines, however, does not automatically make them a responsible breeder. You still need to ask them a lot of questions.
Newspaper ads are probably the worst place to try to find a breeder.
If possible, you should try to find a breeder in your area, so you can visit the cattery. This is the best way to be sure of the quality and health of the animals and the ethical standards of the breeder. You should arrange to visit the cattery to see the conditions under which the kittens are raised. Although heredity plays a dominant part, the cattery environment also has a strong effect on health, personality and temperament. You want a kitten that is accustomed to being handled every day.
