Thread: Sueragdandy in Cardiff, South Wales

We have had 2 of our 3 cats from Susan and our 4th is also coming from Susan next week!
Agree with Helen, Susan is a very helpful breeder and her kittens are very healthy and confident when you pick them up.

100% agree with this too - our stud boy Storm is from Susan and he is the most gorgeous, friendly, chilled out boy ever! Susan responds to all of our emails and loves hearing updates on how he is getting on as well as offering advice when we ask.

I concur too, Rasputin came from Susan and she's been great throughout (despite having a kitchen fitted at the same time as the kittens!). He settled in within about 5 minutes and Susan's been great at getting back to me with my innumerable pre and post-arrival questions.

I can also agree with this, I have had 2 cats from Susan. Bitsie was an absolute Star when she got here, she was so confident after travelling from Wales to my home in North East of Scotland it was as though she owned the place. Phoenix too was very confident, and Susan's advice is brilliant.

I def agree we had our little boy gary from susan....he,s a stunnig boy ,and susan is there whenever needed,...

Sounds as if she is what you would expect from a good breeder I wouldn't expect or settle for less from any breeder I bought from,haven't been let down yet & have been involved with three....

I feel it only fair to add on a minor note of caution in that Susan has been great for everything except GCCF registration. Rasputin is a fantastic cat and I'm really pleased with him and Susan has given me loads of great advice.

She will provide you with the paperwork to register your cat (after neutering) but if you wish to have them registered with her prefix, you will need to pay the full cost rather than just transfer cost as she doesn't register non-breeding kittens. Also, when we registered Rasputin, she filled out the paperwork to have him registered under her prefix but registered him as blue silver rather than silver (and I did say I thought he was a silver). This then meant we were wrong coloured at the show we went to so I not only lost the show entry money but then had to pay to have his registration amended (Susan did not agree to pay).

In all other respects I would recommend her however if you even have the vaguest inkling you may want to show, just make sure this is very clear up front and you agree who will pay the registration and who is responsible if there is an error in the part of the registration forms she fills out or the information she gives you.

Having accidently come across this site, I would like to thank everyone for their friendly, positive posts concerning my kittens, however I would just like to say to pralinehalo, Rasputin was actually sold on the contract as a silver tabby, not a blue silver tabby, her post is misleading and unfair of the true facts of how he finally became registered as a blue silver tabby.

I have made it very clear that in all other ways you were fantastic, that I would recommend you as a breeder and that I think Rasputin is a great cat.

However, it was not my suggestion that he should be registered as a blue silver, it was yours.

I keep all important correspondence and would not post a comment on a public forum that I could not back up; I also have your email saying he is a blue silver and to quote my email to you on 12th June:

PS glad you’re doing the paperwork, I’d have registered him as a classic silver rather than blue silver!
