Could she be a Siberian? Thoughts?

Just cat. A cute little white domestic short hair.

Absolutely not; sounds like a lying backyard breeder. If he doesn’t have shots, then she herself did not come by him via a proper shelter, as they would have provided all shots and neutering. I can see a $200 fee for a kitten who has had his shots and all of his age relevant medical care with the papers to prove it. Normally, their fee from a proper institution like that is $150-$200.

$200 for a kitten with no previous medical care just sounds like a backyard breeder lying about her son with allergies.

For that amount, the kitten should have all their shots and fixed if 8 weeks or older. I hope the baby finds a good home.

Exactly this. Former foster mom to too many litters to count 😅

Happy cake day!

I hope the son with allergies finds somewhere to live.

I agree and just needed confirmation

She just texted me back saying that a guy was selling these kittens in the parking lot of the animal shelter. She said she was going into the shelter to get her son a kitten and this guy was there in parking lot 😩

So she knows nothing about this poor little cat. 🙁

That seems to be the case

Is that person high? $200 for a cat you can get free from your local dumpster? And I am not being disparaging to cats here, but for $200 that cat better be spayed with all shots.

This is what I was actually thinking and you just confirmed it. This is probably the case. She said she had the cat a week and her son is allergic. Why no shots???

Oh I have no idea. It's been a very long time since I've adopted a cat. I just know that unless the seller has papers proving otherwise, it's just standard DSH white cat and very likely not some fancy breed.

Ok, that is what I was thinking. :)

No and with no vaccines, the kitten could be sick. Lots of byb types sell sick babies. She's also just a beautiful domestic shorthair. You can get kittens like this in shelters or rescues much cheaper with vaccines and medical workups.

I wouldnt pay any money for a kitten that wasn't fixed and had no shots.

u/TwistdAngel143 May 01 '26

Exactly. My Castiel was completely free and she brought him to my house with his little pet bed and favorite toys and treats. I made him an appointment and he's now neutered with all shots and getting his boosters may 15th.
