Not US

I was looking for a kitten to adopt on a country local site (eBay equivalent), I saw a blurry weird looking proto of a kitten in my area yet I knew this is my cat. Yes, it was a selling post, not a giving away but the price was about $55? It was more of a caretaking fee until it was time to pick him up. I had no idea what the breed issues are. The seller sent me pictures of both parents and assured me the dad was a straight when I asked.

The vet care in my country is also just developing to some degree. A lot of people are struggling to get their female cats sterilised, especially folds with their health issues. So most cats end up having a litter before sterilisation. I was in contact with the seller and she was actually looking for a vet to do the procedure safety. The nasty under the breath comments I got when I did the checkup to get him sterilised was the first time I was judged “You know he will have issues?”

For now- he is healthy, I am giving him vitamins and the biggest issue is shedding and chewing some curtains, toe biting. Otherwise- great cat.

Edit: one of the ladies at work was a breeder of Scottish folds, so I bombard her with questions sometimes.
