I didn’t see my kitty until the day I picked her up. I only saw pictures. I also had to give the breeder a non-refundable down payment. It looks like your kitty is in a cage. She looks healthy to me though.

It’s hard to know. When I got my kitty she wasn’t very healthy. Bloated stomach and some sort of mark on her leg. I had lost confidence in the breeder so I made an appointment with my vet for the day I picked my kitty up. I had to drive three hours both ways. I made a vet appointment late in the afternoon and drove straight to the vets office when I got back home.

My vet gave her a complete wellness check and x-rayed her leg. That was 5 years ago and she has been fine since!

If you would like me to help research breeder, Message me the name of breeder/cattery and I’ll see if anything pops up. I do think they look a bit thin but it can be a stage they are in. As far as hair, there is no guarantee on the amount of hairlessness. Does your breeder have a contract? I think my concern is the pics they sent with the cage and the fact it is not clean. @AlecBaldwin

If possible:
-See if you can get pics of the kitten with other siblings.
-See if you can get pics of parents
-See if you can get video of kitten playing with a toy
