Responsible kitten rehoming
Selling kittens safely and legally in the UK
Animal welfare comes first. These reminders help sellers share accurate information and make informed rehoming decisions.
Important kitten selling requirements
Minimum age
Kittens should not normally be sold or rehomed before eight weeks old. Keeping them with their mother longer may benefit their development.
Microchipping
Cats in England must be microchipped and registered by 20 weeks of age. Cat microchipping is currently voluntary in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Licensing
Businesses selling pets may need a licence; the applicable rules depend on your activities and UK nation. Display your licence number if required.
Commercial third-party sales
Licensed animal sellers in England must generally sell kittens they have bred themselves, rather than act as commercial middlemen.
Accurate adverts
Do not misrepresent breed, pedigree, parentage, health, age or vaccination records.

Help each kitten find a good home
- Where appropriate, invite prospective owners to meet the kittens with their mother in their usual home environment.
- Ask about the buyer’s lifestyle, previous cat experience, accommodation and other pets.
- Explain the kitten’s normal food, litter routine, personality and enrichment needs.
- Share genuine veterinary records, pedigree documents and microchip paperwork when applicable.
- Use a clear written sale or rehoming agreement and avoid pressured or delivery-only transactions.
- Never let a buyer rush you into transferring a kitten before it is ready.
Rules vary between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Check current local licensing and welfare requirements for your circumstances.

Frequently asked questions
FAQs about selling kittens for free
Answers to common questions from UK kitten breeders and people rehoming cats.
Can I advertise kittens for free on Pet Classifieds?
Yes. A standard kitten advert can be posted without a listing fee. The word “free” refers to advertising, not to giving kittens away. You must follow our advert rules and the applicable animal-welfare requirements.
How do I post a kitten advert?
Select Post an ad, choose Cats & Kittens and the most accurate breed category, then add recent photos, a helpful description, your location and the price or rehoming fee. Give clear information about the kittens, their mother and their health history.
How old should kittens be when they go to new homes?
Kittens should stay with their mother and must not normally be sold or rehomed before they are eight weeks old. Many breeders and welfare organisations keep kittens longer for their development and socialisation. Check applicable local rules and any welfare exceptions.
Do kittens have to be microchipped before being sold?
In England, pet cats must be microchipped and registered by 20 weeks of age, including indoor cats. Compulsory cat microchipping is not currently required in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, although microchipping is strongly recommended everywhere. Give accurate microchip information and update keeper details when relevant.
Do I need a licence to sell kittens in the UK?
Licensing depends on your activities and where you live. In England, a business selling animals as pets may require a local authority licence even when selling online. Requirements vary in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Check your local council and include licence details if required.
Can I resell kittens that somebody else bred?
In England, commercial third-party sales of kittens are prohibited: licensed sellers must generally sell kittens they bred themselves. Different rules and exceptions can apply to genuine rehoming and to other UK nations. Verify your legal position before advertising.
Should buyers meet kittens and their mother?
Prospective owners should normally be invited to visit the home where the kittens were raised and meet their mother when possible. Avoid delivery-only arrangements, rushed sales and requests for deposits before appropriate checks.
What should I include in the advert?
Include breed or crossbreed, date of birth, sex, coat colour, temperament, litter size, mother and father details where available, vaccinations, worming, flea treatment, microchip status, veterinary checks, price, location and collection arrangements.
What documents should a buyer receive?
Provide available veterinary and vaccination records, microchip information if applicable, details of treatment, any genuine pedigree or registration documents, and a clear written sale or rehoming agreement. Never claim paperwork or health tests exist if they do not.
How can I find a responsible home for a kitten?
Speak to potential owners about their experience, home environment, other pets, finances and long-term care plans. Encourage visits, be honest about the kitten’s needs and decline enquiries if a home does not seem suitable.
