The Sale of 2 Bengals
AM: A phone call from a lady asking about Bengals. We have a nice chat about her cats and what she is looking for, how she will look after the bengals and what will happen when she goes to work.
lunch: Another phone call from the lady (lets call her lou) asking about our Bengals, she has been on our website and would like to come for a cuddle and a chat. The question is asked if she likes what she sees could she take one home with her. I said that providing Lou, myself and the kitten chosen were all happy she could. Unfortunately, Lou wouldn't be able to pay by cheque but we do take plastic as well as cash, although Lou was already prepared for this.
PM: Lou, her partner and child arrive. I take them to see mums, dads and neuters first. Then we have a look at the kittens available and some I may be keeping. We speak about if Lou intends showing or not. Lou has already said she has no intention of breeding so we need to match up personalities. Lou chooses a real softie, a silver spotted girl with a very soft nature, ideal as a pet. Lou has been talking about a playmate but she's not sure about having 2 kittens. We take another look at a neutered boy we have who is also a real softie, and decides she would like him also to keep the silver girl company whilst she is at work.
Then down to the paperwork. Letter of information about the kittens food. Inoculation cards to hand over. The insurance to sort out. The pedigrees to sort out. The contracts to sort out to ensure that 5 mths or 5 years time, if they cannot keep the cats, they don't take them to a rescue centre, they bring them back to me and I will find them a good home. Then there is the kitten packs to organise, putting the food together along with the biscuit tin and toy and booklet on bringing a kitten into your home. This all takes a good deal of time, but it is an essential part of buying a Bengal from me. We take the time to talk things through about feed times, the kitten has been fed 4 times daily but now can change to 3 times daily. We advise for them to be kept on the food they are used to eating. We explain about addatives in food and that Bengals prefer no addatives or as few as possible. We also show exactly how much to feed at one mealtime. Their claws are trimmed to help prevent any scratches whilst the kitten and cat are settling into their new homes and then our goodbyes are said and they are placed in their carriers and off they go to their new homes. Everyone promises to keep in touch, we do mean it when we say "any questions at all, please ask".
Have a good life both of you I'm as sure as possible that you will be happy or you wouldn't have gone.
