A cattery is just what you’d think: a place where cats to be sold are raised. It differs from a pet shop in that it sells only cats, nothing else. Catteries are usually the most expensive places to buy a cat, because they specialize in purebreds. The best catteries are absolutely fanatical about hygiene, since any good cat breeder knows how easy it is for
disease to spread quickly through a group of cats confined in the same space.
