"warranty" in sg is less than 24 hours! or for some, not at all. and you sign a contract stating this.
also agree that strays have less illnesses than pet shop cats.. or at least different types. mites, fleas for strays are inevitable. however things like cat flu, ringworm and other fungal infections are a results of the cramped conditions of cats in shops which strays do not have to endure. when you save a stray you are saving a life. When you buy from a shop you are encouraging the creation of more lives to be placed in shops. |
