When Can The Kitten Go Home?

 

Your kitten will be ready to go home at 14 weeks old. This important time allows them to nurse from their mother and acquire essential behavioral skills. Removing a kitten from their mother too soon can compromise their immunity, as they depend on her milk for crucial nutrients. We spend this time loving on each baby independently exposing them to a variety of sights, sounds, and people in a positive and controlled manner, starting from as early as 4 weeks old. This helps them develop into confident, well-adjusted cats. Positive experiences with new things are paired with treats to create positive associations. We will have your baby litter trained and pre-spoiled by the time he is she is ready for you to take them home.    

​

What Comes with your kitten?

​

We will send you home with a care package to include a weeks worth of food to help you make a smooth transition in the event you plan to change your kittens diet.  We feed Purina Pro Plan Kitten as it provides all the necessary nutrients and is economically priced. You will get your health guarantee and your registration paperwork if you chose a pedigreed kitten 

 

Beware of Scams and Unethical Breeders:

Whether you choose a kitten from us or from another cattery, please use caution and be aware of potential scams and unethical breeders.  Unfortunately, unsavory people exist and in a market like this where it is easy to use a cute kitten as "bait", so to speak, there are people who are out right scammers. There are also those who only breed for profit and will sell you a kitten that could be ill and diseased. Make sure that you only purchase from a cattery that is registered with TICA or CFA. We are registered with both. Our TICA ID# is 113221 and our website is linked to the TICA website where that can be confirmed. We hold true to the TICA Code of Ethics.

I am a member in good standing of the International Cat Association, Inc. (TICA) and have a TICA-registered cattery. I will breed discriminately, and only if I can find appropriate homes for my kittens.  Any kitten or cat sold as a pet/companion will be sold under the following conditions:    

 I will guarantee that the kitten/cat is in good health at the time of the sale.

I will urge the purchaser to have the kitten/cat examined by the purchaser's own veterinarian within a few days of purchase to confirm its good health.    

I will explain to the purchaser the dangers of an outdoor environment.

I will provide a written sales agreement that describes all the terms of the sale. I will abide by my own sales agreement.

I will make every effort to spay/neuter every kitten/cat prior to leaving Breeder. If this should not be possible, I will require that the kitten be spayed or neutered no later than 12 months of age and not be allowed to produce any offspring. I will provide the TICA registration certificate and/or pedigree for the kitten/cat only after I have received written evidence from a licensed veterinarian that the kitten/cat has been altered.   

I will not release a kitten until it has been inoculated at least twice against the following: Panleukopenia, Feline, Rhinotracheitis, and Calicivirus.  I also may choose to give other vaccinations.  

I will place kittens only in homes that I believe will provide a life-long commitment of love, appreciation, and responsible care.
