If you want to raise cats to be pets, purchasing cats is the key. There are many ways to buy cats. Friends or people recommended to buy, but most people usually choose to buy from cat dealers, but there is a great risk in buying cats from cat dealers. It is also a good choice for a friend to adopt a cat, so what are the risks of buying a cat from a cat dealer?
I. What are the risks of buying a cat from a cat dealer?
1. For profit, cat dealers breed cats frequently and often indiscriminately, sometimes in order to make cats look more like famous cats Excessive inbreeding, coupled with the poor nutritional status of mother cats, often lead to congenital deficiencies in kittens. Some have congenital diseases, which appear slowly after adulthood; some are weak and easy to get sick. All of these will bring financial losses and emotional pain to cat owners.
2. As a pet cat, it should be able to adapt to people's living environment and get along well with people. 4-6 weeks after birth is a critical period for kittens. If they do not contact people at this time, it will be difficult for them to accept people when they grow up, and they will be afraid when they see people. Such a cat needs a lot of love and patience, and maybe it can be changed. The kittens from the cat dealer rarely have contact with people in the cat breeding farm, and they seldom receive caress 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 are not immune, they are easily infected with deadly diseases such as feline plague. These diseases have an incubation period, so you may not be able to see them when you buy them. When you buy them home, the cat will be sick. It's heartbreaking to see this weak and lovely little life dying. However, at the cat dealer, when the cat is sick enough to see signs of illness, it may be the corner of the litter box waiting for it.
4. Cat dealers often let kittens leave their mothers when they are very young, so that they can buy them early to make money. Such a small cat is difficult to feed, and the survival rate is relatively low, and because it has not had time to learn to use the toilet and groom itself from its mother, it may have problems with hygiene habits in the future.
5. Some cat dealers dye kittens regardless of life and death in order to sell at a good price.
Second, how to adopt a stray cat
1. First, you have to find a way to catch your favorite stray cat. You can lure stray cats to you with food and then implement a capture plan. Be careful not to injure the cat while catching it.
2. After catching a stray cat, don't rush to bring it home. Instead, you should take the cat to the veterinary hospital, check the body, get vaccinated, and wait until the cat's health is confirmed, and the vaccine observation period has passed. Then take it home.
3. As a parent, you should arrange the environment for the cat to live in before it goes home. For example, prepare a cat litter, cat toilet, cat food bowl, drinking bowl, cat scratching board, cat toys and so on. Only then can you pick up a 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 to adopt a pet cat. Of course, the adoption process is similar to the above, and the corresponding adoption surgery is required before you can bring the stray cat home.
3. Adoption instead of buying and selling
Many friends, out of good intentions, could not bear to see the kitten locked in such a small cage, and even saw the kitten in such a small cage. The cat is not in good spirits, so I bought it to bring it home, and I want to give it a happy cat life. Thank you, it was a very kind act, but it was a disservice to the cats at the cat dealer.
This is a vicious circle. A cat dealer sells cats because he finds it profitable. The person who bought the cat gave him the money, which strengthened his confidence and gave him the funds to keep running. If a lot of people buy cats from him, his business is prosperous, and the result is more cats, more cats, more cats living in miserable conditions, no freedom, no love, and I don't know what my future will be like. If everyone doesn't buy cats from him, he finds it unprofitable and will stop the business.
Faced with the cute kitten that Ai Ai looks forward to in the cage, few people can resist the temptation to rescue it. But I hope my friends can look a little farther, walk away ruthlessly, and believe that this approach is to save all the cats as a profit tool for cat dealers. I hope my friends don't buy cats from cat dealers, and I hope my friends can tell their friends not to buy cats from cat dealers. If everyone does this, more and more cats will be freed from misery, and even cats will be freed from misery. The dealers have completely disappeared from the mall streets.
If you really like animals, just adopt a stray cat, so many homeless cats are 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 on When you come to buy an animal you like, it may be the reason for their determination to breed animals and bring harm to the animals we love!
