DO NOT buy from The King Cat Pet Store
I am writing this post as a warning for all potential pet owners.
A friend of mine purchased a Selkirk Rex kitten from The King Cat Pet Store and she passed on in a span of 10 days from parvovirus.
The friend has sought remedial action from the owner of the pet store, to no avail. Instead of offering a refund or even to cover the medical and hospitalisation fees, the owner snubbed my friend and her partner and even asked for them to pay an additional $100 so that he could pass them another kitten.
My friend found out later on that the pet store owner has covered up similar cases and somehow managed to get away with it.
If you would like a life-long furry friend, do not buy anything from The King Cat Pet Store.

Why anyone would buy a kitten from a pet shop in Cambodia is beyond me. There are literally thousands of the fuckers wandering around acting all cute and waiting to be adopted!

k440, something to do when you're pissed.
Not many people on this forum that would pay for a pussy.

I had a similar problem with a Norwegian Blue parrot.

Most pets sold in Cambodia come from "farms" in Thailand, often with fake vaccination and breeding certificates, and often die within days of being sold, parvo being the main culprit. Consumer rights, good luck. A little prior research on your friends behalf would've saved hwr from this drama. Best not to buy pets in Cambodia.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

I've had a few cats in Cambodia, all of them since they were kittens (from a pagoda, or through a friend), and the idea of buying a kitten from a shop never occurred to me. I'm surprised it even exists in this country...
Oh, wait, just now I see. It was about how good the cat would look, not about any love for cats.
No empathy from me then. Nothing. The person going for that, just because of looks, doesn't deserve a cat, or a kitten, or any pet. Just f*ck off!

I paid for a pretty cat. She wasn’t pretty enough for others and her brothers and sisters kept being picked instead of her - so she was left on the shelf and discounted.frigidaire wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2023 1:24 amOh, wait, just now I see.

We got a few kittens from that pet rescue centre before covid bankrupted it. We also picked up a few stray kittens. Two were catnapped and eaten; the others all died of various diseases even though we had them all vaccinated. Tough being a cat here. Too heartbreaking for the owners too - we're going without now.

Buying a puppy or kitten here is tough. They are sold very young and unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated. They really need to be kept indoors for the first 6 weeks after buying to make sure they are fully covered by vaccinations.
But that’s difficult - because when you get them they are at their most cute and everyone wants to play with them and take them out to show them off to the neighbours.
And Khmer folk (largely) don’t vaccinate their animals so there are loads of bugs and diseases out there.

They also don't spay or neuter them, which is why there are so many sickly kittens wandering around, and why they don't live long.

A Selkirk Rex isn't Selkirk Scotland?
What on earth would a Scottish kitten be doing in the Bodge it sounds like the sort of cat that Rab C Nesbitt would own?

I had hoped terms like " the Bodge" and " the Penh" had died out with the man bun when the covid sent the tattooed hipsters fleeing back to their mother's breasts.Cambodiacious wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2023 2:21 pmA Selkirk Rex isn't Selkirk Scotland?
