I saw this when I was looking at the Ebay hammies Louby just rescued!

£100 for a normal kitten?!! Who on earth would pay that?

I wouldn't pay a back yard breeder that much for any sort of cat, that's for sure.

It's so sad that she's churning out yet more unwanted mogs Mini cats, pff I think you'll find that's just a moggie that's a bit on the small side. I have some at home. £250 each, anyone?

I did notice the (three!) litters were from last year, here's hoping the mothers have since been spayed. Wishful thinking?

EDIT: My mistake, there's a 2008 litter *head desk*

£50 buys you a kitten,plus neutering, microchipping and first set of vaccinations from out local RSPCA. Our Kennedy was one of these (He was only £35 ten years ago!)

Exactly, a much better road to go down than encouraging this BYB who appears to have never completed primary school education.
I doubt she grasps the concept of neutering anyway

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this little gem from her website:

shocking a few seconds is all it takes to make sure something reads back properly!!!


I must be a millionaire with all the "rare" coloured hamsters I have bred and passed on over the years.

Erm they are so not rare hamster colours they are bog standard hammy colours. She is so gonna rip people off they think they are gonna get something rare then they will go in a petshop and see the same colour. £100 for bog standard kittens what is she playing at no one will pay that for them according to her they are reserved yeah right. They are normal moggys I have a ginger identical to him. She could be done under the trades descriptions act for that as she is selling bog standard hamsters saying they are rare.

I might even email saying that those hammies can be seen in most petshops and I have had all those colours over the years therefore they aren't rare. Ergh I hate that word quality stock animals are stock they are living breathing animals.

i hate the word stock, too. i've seen that in hammy books where it's talking about breeding and it says stock this and stock that. No, they are beautiful squishy babies, not stock
