Scottish Fold - popular "Scots"
One of the most popular breeds among cat lovers today is the Scottish Fold. For decades lop-eared kittens are a dream for many owners who want to acquire a purebred animal.
And it's no surprise, as this breed is one of the most beautiful and eye-catching. A doll-like appearance, large eyes, a sweet expression, and ears held flat against the head—all of this is the true Scottish Fold.
Like all pedigree cats, fold-eared kittens are divided into three classes
Show class
These are the most prestigious and expensive kittens. Buying one is a great success, as the breeder typically either keeps these kittens for themselves or offers them to other catteries for further breeding. However, if you're interested in shows, try contacting the cattery directly. They might be willing to accommodate you and sell the kitten as a show kitten.
Breed class
This class includes only female cats that participate in the cattery's breeding program. If you plan to become a breeder, look for a breed-class female cat, but she definitely needs a show-class male to pair with.
Pet class
Don't be afraid of the word "pet"—it translates as "domestic pet." All kittens purchased without breeding rights are considered "pet-class" kittens for home and love. This kitten doesn't necessarily have defects or flaws. On the contrary, in most cases, these are high-quality kittens that can also perform well at shows, and even win. However, you won't be able to breed them, as most catteries release "pet-class" kittens already neutered or spayed.
What to remember when buying a Scotsman
If you dream Buy a fold-eared kitten in Moscow Or in other cities, it's best to do this either at international cat shows or directly from a Scottish Fold cattery breeder. Keep in mind that the best kittens don't make it to shows, as they were reserved at an early age from the breeder's home. However, at shows, you have a wide choice of kittens from various catteries. Therefore, it's up to you to decide how and where to purchase a kitten.
The only thing to remember is that you shouldn't buy or adopt a small furry creature before it's three months old. Until then, the kitten won't be vaccinated, won't have had enough time to play with its littermates, and, in most cases, will still be nursing.
That's why all breeders offer reservations for puppies up to three months old! While your little one is growing, you have time to prepare for their arrival.
What you need to buy first:
- Litter tray and filler (check with the breeder what the kitten is used to; it may be able to go without filler on the net);
- A baby carrier is what you will use to take your future family member home;
- Food – also consult with the Breeder about what the kitten is used to, what it likes, and what brand of food it uses;
- Bowls;
- Toys include all kinds of balls, mice, marbles, and waving toys. Your little one will appreciate your thoughtfulness!
- Sleeping place - be it a house or bed;
- Scratching post.
Well, and the most important thing is to patiently wait until the lop-eared baby moves into your home.
