Reputable vs Backyard Breeder: Key Differences
Why It’s Risky to Buy a Kitten Outside a Cattery?
Scottish Folds carry a genetic mutation (Fd gene) that affects cartilage and bone structure.
When both parents have folded ears, the risk of deformities is extremely high.
What can go wrong?
- Osteochondrodysplasia (painful bone and cartilage disorders)
- Limb deformities, arthritis, stiff joints
- Heart and kidney diseases (HCM, PKD)
- Viral infections due to lack of vaccinations
- Weak immunity, stunted growth
- Poor temperament due to lack of handling
- Expensive veterinary bills, emotional stress — or worse
