Below is a copy of the last email I received from the lady I sold Echo to... I find it hard to believe that she sold her pregnant. I clearly stated in my contract that she should be neutered if sold on and that I would always have the cat back. I will be contacting the GCCF but their email is out at the moment, but my guess is that I will never see her again. You always hope when you sell kittens/cats that they will have a long and happy life... it doesn't always seem to happen, trouble is that the people who let your babies down are often the ones who sound pefectly fine.
All I can remember is that she lived in a village near Cheltenham and think her name was possibly Sue (?)
I sold Echo with a mating to my stud boy as she happened to be calling and I knew that he was "clean" and knew his business, rather than Echo going to public stud she didnt know for her first mating (she had been in the pen next to my boy).
She produced 7 kittens, but all but 1 died over a period of (I think) a week. I couldnt believe this, but what had happened is that this lady had also bought another MC girl soon after Echo from some dodgy woman in the London area. This London girl turned out to have leukaemia, and had been in contact with Echo's kittens.......
I was very upset about this whole episode as you can imagine, but couldnt take Echo back as I was already cutting back, and she also potentially caused a risk to my cats as I wasnt sure what she had been in contact with since she left me. I had been happy with the lady who I sold her to, but you just can never tell what will happen as you well know. She was also very upset and in dispute with the London person about what had happened. Echo had been living in the house and well cared for, but for the unfortunate introduction of the infected cat. I suspect that all of this was instrumental in the husband scenario.
Thanks in advance for anyone who looks out for her, she was a really friendly girl and was only sold as we were living in the wild for a year and I'd decided to reduce the size of the cattery!
