it doesnt sound just fishy..its downright inethical. Basically its a kitten mill. Any good breeder will never sell his animals to a pet shop. I know of a few ragdoll breeders in Singapore. U can visit them at www.nekokyu.com
www.temasekcattery.com and www.catwhizzkerz.com
If you do have the opportunity to talk to them( u can at our cat show in january next year) and visit them.. u will see why it is important to buy from a breeder you can trust. There are no registered chinchilla breeders in Singapore but there are persian breeders of cos. Its really troublesome to own a persian and unless u are 100% motivated to groom a persian half hour daily i would advise against getting one. Too many people underestimate the difficulty in keeping a persian in tip top condition. To get a cat, a cat show is one of the best places to start cos there will be breeders,different breeds and cats from cat welfare being adopted out. So whatever you choose, you can find it at a cat show. Why dont you mark the date in your calendar and come for a look see. Maybe you will be able to persuade your parents if they are able to speak to breeders as well. Even if u didnt manage to do so.. u wld still have had fun =)
