Breeder interaction with Buyers

[WitchyWoman]

I got some updated pics today...in the fuzzy stage, 7 weeks old....Thanks for all your feedback ...I'm sure she is just slammed with the day to day of taking care of all the cats...

Heyyyy, no fair! Pleeeze share the pics of the fuzzy wuzzy stage future family member. Is that the super cute kitten in your avatar?

Yes...that is him.... pic I got today...with the fuzzies, 7 weeks...he def. looks different and wet.....lol

 

[WitchyWoman]

Awwww, thanks. He's got nice cheetah tears and it looks like he has the coveted black nose. It's tough waiting for them to come home. I hope the time passes quickly for you.

Thanks Everyone...sorry my PC locked up on me...lol...Anyway, I am sure its me...I just like to get a feel for aperson that I am dealing with and want to feel comfortable about getting the kitten and his history, etc..plus I want to make sure both the buyer and seller are on the same page...I also agree that emails are necessary...she has a contract and care sheet, etc.. and I am sure is very busy and a nece person...I just want that reasurrance...anyway, I will try to get her to carve out some time to talk to me...and yes I would think she would want to know a little about me and my home...Thanks again evryone....so if I pick up my little guy when he is 13 weeks, the breeder should have already given him his 2nd round of vaccines..correct?

There is no guarantee that your kitten will have received a 2nd vaccine at 13 weeks of age - that is one of those very important questions you need to get the breeder to answer. In addition, she should give you his vaccination record when you pick him up.

I definitely think updated pics are essential! I feel terrible if a week goes by and I don't get new pics to a buyer![/quote]
I definitely agree about the pictures - to the customer that is the lifeline while waiting for their kitten to arrive in person!

I do most of my communication via e-mail but my cell phone is on all my communication and am glad to talk by phone if the client would like. I provide photo updates every week. I love taking pictures of them in the various stages so I love to share. I do agree with your point that you may ask several questions and only one or two gets answered. I have had that experience many times as well. Glad it worked out. Your boy is very handsome!

Thanks...and yes, she advised he will have his 2nd set of vaccines by the time I get him...waiting does seem like forever....I wish I could take him now..but I understand the importance of waiting....so I really look forward to updated pics.....

I think the waiting is very hard, but you quickly forget it once your precious baby arrives

I'll send photos everyday. I know, I know. But, it's like showing photos of my grandchildren. I can't get enough. When the new home wants to see as many as I want to show, I know we're a match!

I also try to send pics weekly, I even tell my customers to e-mail me if I miss weekly pics and remind me to get them out.
