Preface
After I started the cat farm, I often encountered problems in pet/purchasing pets, so I wrote this article to provide a for everyone, so that everyone can understand what a regular cat farm is, and I can try to set the right pet concept for everyone.
After all, as a responsible person, raising a pet is a lifelong responsibility, and health is the most important thing. I hope more people can accept the concept of regular cat farms and avoid detours on the journey of pet ownership.
Chapter 1▪About Cat Farm
First, cat farms are registered with major cat breed enthusiast associations (such as CFA, TICA, WCF, FIFE, ICE, etc.), which means our kittens must have pedigree certificates.
(For example, PINK MAMA Persian Cat Farm's CFA certificate)
Most regular cat farms are family-style because it's better for the cat's personality to be cultivated and it's easier for the breeders to take care of the cats and kittens. To reduce the cat's stress, most cat farms don't welcome random visitors. But there are exceptions, some cat farms will allow prospective parents to visit after disinfection.
(Therefore, if a cat farm allows you to visit, it's a benefit for prospective parents, not what the cat farm should do, so you need to comply with the cat farm's rules and regulations, and cooperate with the disinfection.)
Chapter 2▪About Kittens
Our breeding cats have clear pedigree and can trace back five generations, and through genetic testing, the genetic disease results are all negative (N/N), so we can guarantee the health of the kittens we breed. Our breeding cats must meet the breeding standards and be stable in personality. Most breeding cats have championship titles for their parents.
(For example, PINKMAMA Persian Cat Farm's genetic test)
We will unreservedly introduce high-quality breeding cats. For example, the price of most breeding cats may exceed many people's annual income. Therefore, kittens bred from excellent breeding cats will not be cheap. (The impossible triangle in the cat circle: cheap/beautiful/healthy)
Regular cat farms have a limited number of kittens bred because we value quality over quantity. We believe in breeding healthy, high-quality, and affectionate kittens, and we oppose expanding the scale to make money and making the mothers produce kittens frequently. Therefore, we will patiently wait for the breeding cats to mature before breeding, and at the same time, we will value the concept of good breeding and good upbringing, and the mother cats will generally give birth to one kitten a year, and only implement three kittens in two years when the physiological condition is ideal.
Our kittens eat a variety of foods and are nutritionally balanced, including high-quality cat food, cat canned food, homemade cat food, and appropriate nutritional supplements. Therefore, our kittens have a beautiful appearance and rarely get sick.

Regular cat farms require kittens to be vaccinated with 'Cat Three-in-One' vaccine, dewormed and neutered before leaving the cat farm. Before handing over the kittens to the pet families, we will conduct a comprehensive check on the kittens to ensure their physical condition and mental state are good. (Therefore, do not expect to receive kittens under three months old in a regular cat farm, this is due to the kitten's vaccination and immunization time. You can also think about it, what channel did those kittens come from when they were one or two months old?).
Each kitten is a precious life. I can honestly say that our parents value our marriage and having children as much as we value our cat farms, and we value each kitten's life cycle, so all kittens are personally helped by the breeders to choose their new home. We will not sell kittens through online or offline 'agent channels', so that the kittens can have a happy life, and the kitten parents are directly connected to the breeders, so that they can ask for advice on how to deal with any problems in the future, instead of receiving a 'orphan cat' and asking for help on the internet.
Therefore, think about how the kittens from pet stores/agents have a family background, and can they guarantee the kitten's health and personality.
Chapter 3▪About Breeders
Breeders must be truly passionate about their breeding breed and treat cats like family members, prioritizing the cats' welfare. Therefore, we advocate that pet families adopt scientific feeding, no cage raising, no free-range, and at the appropriate age, neuter. If you don't know why to neuter pets, you can search the benefits of cat neutering. Most breeders have their own jobs and stable income, so they can focus on their hobbies. Of course, many breeders choose to quit their jobs to dedicate themselves to running a cat farm.
Breeders should have professional breeding knowledge and common small animal medical knowledge, and accumulate experience and learn to improve over time. Therefore, we will provide lifelong after-sales service for the kittens, and there will be no 'orphan cats'.
Breeders will pay attention to the kittens' personality cultivation and understand the personality of each kitten. In general, the kitten's personality is 70% due to genetics, and 30% is due to upbringing. Kittens raised with love and care in the original family will have stable and affectionate personalities when they go to a new home.In addition, a key difference between cat farms and pet stores/agents is that breeders participate in breed association competitions to verify their breeding quality, and through communication with judges and other breeders, and in the PK competition with other excellent competition cats, they continuously improve the breeding level of their cat farms.
