1.  I insist that none of my kittens ever be allowed to roam freely out of doors.  This exposes them to countless dangers from cars, disease, insects, and
animals,



               

I strongly Disagree with declawing of cats kittens or any animals and will not sell any of my babies to anyone who will do this cruelness
to them.
To declaw a cat requires cutting of their first digit, with a knife, or lazer., and will permantly affect his ability to walk properly. This
will also affect their behaviour..eg...using the litter box , and much more.
Cats walk on their toes, and declawing removes BALANCE ,
The cats claws can be easily trimmed every two or three weeks, by compressing their paw pad and extracting their nail.
Trim just the clear part not the red. they will be happier and so will you
For the problem of cats scatching furniture...buy some cat posts, cat trees, and treat them with Cat Nip...give them many other choices.
Cover the ends of your furniture, with a choice of material that will deter the kitten from scratchin

Some commonly asked questions:

Why buy from a Breeder ? :
Buying from a breeder gives you the buyer a comfort of knowing you are buying
a breed of cat, not a mix....You will know what you are buying...eg looks, character, and more...........
You can be assured of what the kitten will look like, eg...standard for that breed, and also see the parents and know what their ancestry is.
You are assured that the kitten should be free of defects, and medical problems
Buying from a breeder, will give you a kitten , that has been given , care, love, attention, medical concern, and be a  well socialized kitten.
A responsible breeder will not sell a poor , sick kitten to people.
A responsible breeder , breeds for the Love of the breed and CATS!

When can I bring my kitten home?
You may bring home your kitten at  14 weeks of age..maybe later
This allows a kitten to have it's first vaccine, socialized, litter trained, weaned,and eating solids.
Breeders are aware of problem of over population of kittens...They should breed to conform to the standard breed profile, and breed for
wanted litters to wanting homes.
There is no longer a waiting list. If there are  no kittens available, check back at a later
time. I have had countless  people who have asked me put them on a waiting list,,only to
find they will    NOT WAIT
When buying a new home or car, people normally wait for this item or dream...
WHY???  do   People who purchase or desiring  a pet find it so difficult to wait for the
kitten of their dreams


Bringing your baby home
When you arrive home with your new baby, take her or him to a room of your choice with a litter pan, food and water
dishes.
Do not leave him or her alone, they will miss their family and even cry all night. Tuck them in with you at night, so they are
not alone.
Your new baby will need a lot of love and attention.

Meeting other pets in the house
Don't introduce your new baby to other pets as soon as they arrive. Their most important needs are to feel secure, eat
normal,and use their litter pan...
A good way for them to meet other pets, is to temporarily set up a cage in the room where the other pets are , and let
them sniff ..Hissing is normal. some take a couple of days to get comforable...some a few weeks...patience is the
key....No loud bangs or sudden movements. Don't pick him or her up against their will.  Try a toy, talk to them softly      
How to receive a certificate of registration for your kitten

After you have had your Vet neuter your pedigree kitten, the next step is to go back or contact the breeder, by way of phone, email or
other.
The breeder will  want to see a proper invoice of neutering from the Vet. confirming the neutering.
This will require a simple mailing of the invoice or a scan of the invoice.
The breeder will upon validating the invoice, will send you the filled in green slip by the breeder ,assigned to her from the Cat Assoc.
You will then, fill in or complete the green slip with cats name and other info., send it along with payment to the Cat Assoc.
The Cat Assoc.will send you a Certificate in the mail with the name of the cat , Birth date, etc.
This certicate is valid and is a genuine statement of declaration that this cat is a
Registered pure bred cat, and belongs to you .
the Non- pedigree cat
t
hese cats are can be acquired for very little or free. and in looks they are not much inferior to pedigree
cats,,,however:...............................
Non pedigree kittens are often taken from their mother too early, between 6 and 8 weeks old.
Being taken away from home and the mother can result in a range of behavioral and boundary problems, that alot of
owners learn to cope with or can't and they give the kitten or cat into another home,  shelter.,. where they become more
agrressive , more difficult behaviour and harder to adjust to the new home.
They also can purchased at a Shelter ( SPCA) or a Pet shop...These shops do not offer any health guarantee, nor allow any
observance to their blood lines...they will very often know of none...So cannot offer any help and to where their parents
are from, or their history.
History will tell you whether they have come from abuse or healthy , clean loving homes,
Or just on the Farm.
The Pedigree Cat
Buying a pedigree cat
assures you of knowing the person who bred the kitten, knowing about the parents of the kitten, having complete health
information, and proper registration forms along with a true evaluation of the quality of the kitten . Also, by buying from a
breeder, you have someone you can call for advice or if you have questions
.
Even though you may want to get that special kitten as quickly as you can, you may find that you will have to wait.
Also, responsible breeders rarely release a kitten to any home before the kitten is 12 weeks old. This is for many reasons
including the fact that it is not until that age that all of the vaccines and deworming is done for your kitten .
You will want to  know exactly how the kitten was raised . The most important thing you should find out is how your kitten
was treated during it's early life.
Most buyers consider that this is a great way to check on cleanliness and to watch the cats in action which gives you an
indication of their personalities

A "registered" kitten is a kitten which has had its birth accepted for registration with one or more of the associations which
register cats. A registered kitten is not the same as a show kitten.  It is
a guarantee of the kitten's breed and lineage. On the
other hand, if a kitten is not registered,
it is really not a "pure-bred". That is because without registration papers, you cannot
be sure about the breed of its parents.  ...So, buying a registered  kitten means you have bought a pure-bred. It does not
necessarily mean that the parents were show cats. It does mean, however, that the parents are also registered.

A "show quality" kitten is different from a registered kitten. A show kitten is one which is registered and comes within the
CCA and CFA breed standards, which can be shown in competition and  will probably win titles or awards in competition.


"Top Show" means that when a adult, the kitten is expected to be able to achieve a title of "Grand Champion";

"Show" means the same, but the title achieved would be that of "Champion";

"Pet Quality" means that, while the kitten is a pure-bred, the breeder believes that the kitten is not suitable for show
competition against other pure-bred kittens for reasons in the standard. These include matters such as color  size , skeleton,
muscle tone. and  other such  as ears, tail, etc. ,cosmetic features, compared against the standards of perfection as adopted by
a specified cat federation. Pet quality  means that the kitten is, but merely not  suitable for showing as a championship kitten.
