Litters

RESERVING A KITTEN: There is a waiting list for kittens, but no fee for this. Once a litter is a couple days old, the first few names on the waiting list will be contacted and each person given 24 hours to respond. If no response is received, the next name(s) on the waiting list will be contacted. When kittens are 5-6 weeks of age, individuals choose their kitten from the litter and a $200 deposit is then needed to hold that kitten. The remaining payment will be due on pickup. Interested people should include a little about themselves and their home when inquiring about kittens.

REGISTRATION: The litters are registered with TICA. It is up to the new owner to register individual kittens. Kittens are sold as pets only and do not include breeding rights. They do have showing rights.

FOOD: The kittens have been fed a variety of cat food - including raw, canned and kibble. They will come with a sample of food to ease the transition to a new home and diet.

TRAINING: All kittens will be accustomed to using a litter box. However, accidents can occur. To help ensure success, new owners might want keep their new kitten in a somewhat confined area with its litter box for the first few days.

HEALTH: Prior to re-homing, kittens will have been wormed, vaccinated and checked by a vet. They are not spayed/neutered.

PICKUP: Kittens are ready for their new homes between at (around) 10 weeks of age. Shipping is not available. However, as we have family in the Chicago suburbs, kittens can sometimes be picked up there as well as the Asheville area in western North Carolina.
