Why do you wait until your kittens are 12 weeks or older to place them?

A kitten needs it's mother till at least 12 weeks. Taken a kitten away too early would deprive the kitten of the immunity it receives from it's mother while nursing. The kitten would also loose out the interaction skills a mother cat teaches her kitten in the later stages of their development. Click Here for the complete story of "Why 12 Weeks."

Will there be a problem with a 12 week old kitten bonding with a new family?

No...Absolutely not! In fact, the bonding process is easier due to the better socialization skills the kittens received from their mother and us. The kittens are more socially stable and secure in themselves from being around their mother and the other adult cats for a longer period of time before they go to their new forever home to be loved and enjoyed.

Are your kittens raised in cages?

No. All kittens are usually born in my bedroom. Once they are walking well, we move them to a nursery room downstairs. Constantly retrieving kittens from under everything in the house tires the mothers out. The nursery is a large bright room with several chairs, climbing post, play house, and lots of little toys to play with. If you try to call and do not get an answer, we are usually down there playing with them. This move is mainly to help the mother cat keep up with them and it help us with litter box training. Once they receive their first vaccinations and are starting the weaning process, they are free to roam the whole house. They learn so much from the interaction with the other adult cats, and the other adults help keep them out of trouble.

Do your cats bloodlines cross anywhere in the past?

No. ALL my cat's blood lines are TOTAL out crosses. This ensures we do not have any birth defects liked kinked tails or crossed eyes. It also makes our kittens less prone to genetic health problems inbred cats are prone to having such as bad hearts and kidneys.

Why don't you sell your retired adults?

Once a kitten becomes a part of my family, they stay part of my family whether they are breeding or not. Also, I do not sell any kittens for the purpose of breeding.

Do your kittens get along with dogs and other adult cats?

Although our kittens know what a dog is, they do not directly interact with them. However, I have placed two kittens into homes with large dogs, and neither has had a problem. My kittens have an extended adult cat family, so they get along well with other adults cats.
