Well, she was really busy and kept forgetting to send them (I was almost afraid I was never going to get them)..I e-mailed her several times to remind her and finally got them. My cat was already spayed and obviously I didn't plan to breed her, but it's still important to me to have her papers. I just like having them and getting a copy of the pedigrees. I know it's just a piece of paper but I like having them.

I don't know this person interested in adopting your girl so I'm not siding with them at all...they may in fact have bad intentions..I don't know. But I just wanted to show that some people do like to have the papers even if they just have their dog for a pet. I would only place the dog with them if you felt 99.9999% certain they'll be a good home for her and have her spayed. If you place her with them, I wouldn't give them the papers until after she is spayed.

Well said! I have 2 babies... one female (1.5 yrs old) and one male (7.5 months old) both AKC and both spayed/neutered but I still wanted their papers. I guess you just have to go with your gut instinct about this lady. Good Luck!
