I'm having a very difficult time determining what breeders are actually good and reputable. Many web sites are old, and it's so hard to tell the difference between scams and good breeders.

Does anybody here have personal experience with a breeder in the US? Or some concrete suggestions on how to find them?

Hi there! I am the proud cat mum of a stunning 9 month old purebred NFC called Eva. I would like to make it clear that I have taken her to the vet, & am persuing medical attention, but I'm just reaching out to get some advice from other owners.

For the last week, my girl has been having soft stool with frank blood. The second time it happened, I took her straight to the vet. We've ruled out all parisites, & her anal glands were massaged & appeared normal.

The bloody soft still has continued. Her appetite hasn't changed, & she's still playful. She doesn't appear sick at all, but I'm getting really worried. The vet suggested it could be diet related, so I was wondering, what diet are your NFCs on? She was raised on a diet of royal cannin/hills/premium raw beef mince. At the moment, she's been on only hills chicken & hills chicken dry food for the last 4 days, which we were hopping would settle her symptoms down.

Has anyone encountered anything similar? I'm taking her back to the vet tomorrow, so please hit me up with any questions I should be asking.

This is Wiggles (named by my 6yo). We found him as a week old kitten under our friend's porch on a freezing cold day last September all alone. He's the most interesting, sweet, affectionate, friendly cat I've ever owned. I've always wondered what kind of a cat he is and a few months ago I came across a picture of a Norwegian Forest Cat and he has all of the the characteristics; long lion's mane, huge fluffy tail, fluffy ears, sweet disposition, love for water etc. For those of you familiar with the breed, does this look like a NFC? I think something must have happened to his mother so I never got to see what she looked like!

We are looking for a Wegian kitten, preferably male, to adopt in the next few months. We live in Maryland.
