There are a lot of over-riding considerations.  First would be me prying Simba Kahn out of his favorite hiding place in the kitchen cabinet. 

But then he might surprise me, you never know.  Housing a guest female (or stud) for breeding is not a small matter.  Does she carry parasites?  Where will you put her?  What does she eat?  Will she stay in heat long enough to mate?  Will she even accept your male?  If I were the owner of the female, I would have the same questions: you mean I’m going to just drop my precious girl off at some stranger’s house for a few days?  I don’t think so!  Most catteries have what they call “closed catteries.”  This means that they don’t send studs or females out nor do they bring them in, mainly for these reasons.  This doesn’t mean that catteries who work together and know each other don’t share back and forth, and if you have a rare breed such as the Korat or the Singapura, it becomes necessary.  In some cases it involves shipping your cat across the country for an extended stay with the other breeder.  Normally the female is taken to the male, but it can work either way.

My first four litters were conceived via stud service.  I was lucky to purchase my first two female kittens from a breeder who was willing to mentor me and allow me access to her studs.  This isn’t free, of course.  Elaborate contracts can be written up covering many extenuating circumstances and stipulating various health and veterinary exams.  The standard fee is one kitten from the litter, but if she only has one kitten, or doesn’t conceive, these contingencies are covered in the contract. In all cases except one, I picked up the stud and hosted him here.  My mentor was a very busy person and didn’t need the aggravation of taking care of my queen and monitoring yet one more mating.  SO, below:  Tiny Bear and her first beau.  As you can see, she had no problems at all accepting him and he was also a sweetie.  He is Gypsy Rose’s daddy.
