TAKE CARE BEFORE BUYING KITTENS ONLINE

OK, let’s start by stating the obvious … Awwwwwwwwwwww!

Now we have your attention, we can move on. Are you thinking of buying a kitten?

If so, you’ll probably have noticed how hard they are to come by these days.

And those that are available tend to appear online at eye-boggling prices. A quick survey on Gumtree this morning showed prices ranging from £250 to £1,300. For a non-pedigree kitten, the average was £472.

These are prices hitherto almost unheard of.
