🐱 If you’re committed to taking on a kitten and sharing your life with them for the next 14 years or longer, considering where to get one is important in helping to make the right choice of pet for you and your lifestyle.
You could choose a kitten from a rehoming/rescue centre, buy a pedigree from a breeder, or get one through friends or family, for example. The experiences of early kittenhood and the care they’ve received, can have a lasting effect on a kitten's physical and emotional health and behaviour. Understanding their individual circumstances and needs will help you choose the right kitten and support them to settle into your home. 🐈
