If you want to keep a cat as a pet, cat shopping is the key. There are many ways to buy cats, either through friends or through introductions, but most people usually choose to buy them from cat dealers, but buying from cat dealers Cats also have great risks. For example, there will be Zhou cats. It is now popular to adopt instead of buy. Therefore, it is also a good choice for friends who like cats to adopt a cat. So what are the risks of buying a cat from a cat dealer? ?

1. What are the risks of buying a cat from a cat dealer?

1. In order to make profits, cat dealers let cats breed frequently and often indiscriminately. Sometimes, excessive inbreeding is done to make cats look more like famous cats. Coupled with the poor nutritional status of female cats, kittens are often born with deficiencies. Some have congenital diseases that slowly appear after adulthood; some have relatively weak constitutions and are prone to illness. All these will bring economic losses and emotional pain to cat owners.

2. Cats as pets must be able to adapt to people’s living environment and get along well with people. The 4-6 weeks after a kitten is born is a critical period. If it is not exposed to people at this time, it will be difficult for it to accept people when it grows up, and it will be afraid of people. Such a cat needs a lot of love and patience, and maybe some changes can be made. Kittens from cat dealers seldom come into contact with people at cat breeding farms, and they rarely receive caressing from people, so they are more likely to have personality problems when they arrive at home.

3. Because these cats live in groups in harsh environments and have no immunity, they are easily infected with fatal diseases such as feline plague. These diseases have an incubation period, so you may not be able to see them when you buy them, but the cats will become sick when you get them home. It is heartbreaking to see this fragile and lovely little life dying. However, at the cat dealer, when the cat is sick enough to see signs of illness, it may be waiting for it in the corner of the litter box.

4. Cat dealers often take kittens away from their mothers when they are very young so that they can buy them early and make money. It is difficult to feed such a small cat, and its survival rate is relatively low. Moreover, because it has not had time to learn how to use the toilet and groom itself from its mother, it may have problems with hygiene habits in the future.

5. There are even some cat dealers who dye kittens regardless of life or death in order to sell them at a good price.

2. How to adopt a stray cat

1. First you have to find a way to catch your favorite stray cat. You can use food to lure stray cats to you and then implement the capture plan. Be careful not to injure the cat during the capture process.

2. After catching a stray cat, don’t rush to take it home. Instead, you should take the cat to the pet hospital for a physical examination and vaccination. You can only take the cat home after the cat is confirmed to be healthy and has passed the vaccine observation period.

3. As a parent, you should arrange the environment in which your cat will live before it comes home. For example, prepare a cat nest, cat toilet, cat food bowl, drinking water basin, cat scratching board, cat toys, etc. Only then can you take the healthy cat home.

4. If you are unwilling to adopt a stray cat on the roadside, you can also go to a professional stray animal base and adopt a pet cat. Of course, the adoption process is similar to the above, and you also need to go through the corresponding adoption surgery before you can take the stray cat home.

3. Adoption instead of sale

Many friends, out of good intentions, couldn’t bear to see the kitten locked up in such a small cage, and even saw the kitten was in a bad mood, so they bought it home specifically, hoping to give it a happy cat life. Thank you. This is a very kind act. However, this kind act has done a disservice to the cats at the cat dealer.

This is a vicious cycle. The cat dealer sells cats because he thinks it will be profitable. The money given to him by the person who bought the cat strengthened his confidence and gave him the funds to continue operating. If many people buy cats from him, then his business will prosper, and the result will be more cats, more cats, and more cats living in a miserable environment without freedom, love, and I don’t know what my tomorrow will be like. If no one buys cats from him, he will stop doing business if he finds it unprofitable.

Faced with the cute kitten Ai Ai looks forward to in the cage, few people can resist the temptation to rescue it. But I hope my friends can look further and walk away heartily. I believe that my actions are saving all cats who are the profit tools of cat dealers. I hope that friends will not buy cats from cat dealers, and I also hope that friends can tell their friends not to buy cats from cat dealers. If everyone does this, more and more cats will be saved from suffering, and even cats will be saved. Vendors completely disappeared from the mall streets.

If you really like animals, just adopt a stray cat. There are so many homeless cats waiting for a warm home. We have no reason to go to the pet market to support pet dealers, when we spend a lot of money to buy one that we like. When animals are killed, this may be what fuels their determination to breed animals, causing harm to the animals we love and care for!
