All the pet stores are infested with ringworm. It is a serious problem and is spreading ringworm to homes, schools and vet clinics. It will cost you at least 2000QR to get a kitten from the pet shop, sometimes they are just domestic longhairs that look posh that have been picked up off the street. If you support the pet shops you are supporting the importation of wild animals such as monkeys and parrots who live a terrible life and then die. As long as you can live with that, go ahead. Otherwise wait until you live in a country with welfare laws or adopt a kitten from QAWS that may not be designer label but will be just as good a pet for you.
