|  |     My heavens!!! What a kitty that must be for $500.00!! Did it
    come with papers or were they extra?  As a rule, I'd suggest
    staying away from pet store pets in general.  The conditions
    aren't usually the best, and the cat is apt to come with infections,
    etc.  
    
    My Blue-point Siamese (and she is pure-bred, I met Mom and Dad when
    I bought her) was $125.00, no papers.  I got her in Spencer, MA
    and the woman said it was the last litter, so that's of no help
    to you.  I believe someone a few notes back mentioned a good Siamese
    cattery for kittens.  I'd recommend that route rather than the pet
    store. A pet-quality kitten from a pure-bred litter should run you
    about that.  Expect to pay more for show quality. 
    
    Oh, and don't forget to check the shelters and the adoptions note
    in this notesfile (Note #415) for that special, older
    Siamese that's looking for a home! :-)  I bought my kitten and adopted
    an older Siamese sibling, and they're both loves!! 
    
    Good luck with your Siamese, you'll love them!

    I would have loved to help you.  You see, I just sold my last 
    Siamese kitten (out of a litter of 5) to Eileen Sullivan.  She
    named him Stanley.  This Saturday I'm going to bring him to
    her.
    
    Sorry I couldn't help.
    
    
    Try the Springfield Daily News (Spfld, MA). There are always Siamese
    kittens advertised every week.  That's how my dad got Selina 
    (a Seal Point) for us.
    
    
    Good Luck!!!
    
    
    Shelly, Selina, Mijo, and soon departing Stanley

|  |     For anyone still looking, Fin 'N Fur in Ayer, Mass., has a litter
    of the *cutest* little sealpoints, about two weeks old right now,
    fathered by none other than Zeke himself.
