Some breeders put breeding restrictions on their kittens, or have them neutered, so do ask about this if you want to buy a kitten for breeding.

First of all, the breeder has to buy expensive breeding stock. Then a cattery has to be built so that the cats are safe from stray tomcats when on heat. Good quality food is needed to ensure optimum health. There's inoculations, deworming, and vets bills. If a breeder has a litter, it's a bonus! "The fruit of the womb is God's reward." Psalm 127 verse 3
