About
ABOUT OUR KITTENS
If you decided to have a British Shorthair cat in your home, we can provide a high-quality kitten by contacting us. Please, introduce yourself and the best way to reach you. We only sell our kittens as pets and we want our kittens to find a loving home. Under certain circumstances, we might sell our kittens to certain breeders under certain conditions.
Our kittens are leaving their cattery home to a new home around 12 weeks old. When you buy a kitten from us, you will receive a sales contract, pet passport, and a package with samples of food the kitten is used to make its way to the new home as smooth as possible. We like to stay in contact with all new owners and we are more than willing to help with anything concerning your new kitten.
PEDIGREE
An official pedigree is a detailed record of your cat’s genealogy that documents each ancestor’s title status, color, and registration number. Complete with the TICA logo and TICA’s official seal,
The pedigree is laminated and ready to frame.
□ 3 Generation Pedigree – $25.00
□ 5 Generation Pedigree – $50.00
All our kittens and cats are pedigree cats registered with TICA. (The International Cat Association). We, as breeders, are responsible for furnishing correct pedigree information. A kitten will go to a new home without the pedigree paper because we have the right to withhold registration papers until the buyer furnishes proof that the cat has been altered so that it cannot reproduce. The buyer has the right to refuse to have a pedigree at all. Then there is no expense on documents for you. However, if you, as the buyer, decided you need pedigree papers for future cat’s events, such as attending a cat show or for any other reasons, then you will pay an additional $25 for a 3-generation pedigree or $50 for a 5-generation pedigree. Prices are confirmed with TICA.
PET PASSPORT
Our vaccinations are current at the time of transfer. The kitten is going home with a guarantee of being in good health and certification from the veterinarian of all vaccinations and deworming. The upcoming vaccinations are the responsibility of the buyer.
PURCHASING
If a kitten is not available at the time you would like to have one, we certainly put your name on the waiting list and will announce availability as soon as we can. There is no fee to be on the waiting list; however, we will collect a non-refundable deposit of $800 after we guarantee the availability of a kitten. The fees are collected for the purpose of shedding off uncertain buyers of the kitten. The deposit will go toward the purchase price of the kitten. The balance has to be paid in full prior to transferring the ownership of the kitty.
FEEDING
We feed our cats with Royal Canin. It is your choice what you will buy for your pets; however, we strongly recommend feeding your kitten for the first couple of weeks with provided food that you will receive at the time of transfer ownership of a kitten. Also, if you choose to get some other dry commercial cat food, please, be advised that you should start making a mixture of provided food with your cat food of choice in the ratio:
3:1 for the first 3 or 4 days; then
1:1 ratio for the next 3 to 5 days; then
1:3 for the next 3 to 5 days.
Eventually, you might feed your new pet with food of your choice. It is very important to follow this outlined schedule to give time for your kitten to get familiar with the new food; otherwise, the kitten will refuse to eat his/her new food at all.
Please, remember, fresh water in a ceramic, glass or stainless still bowl should be provident at all times.
If you should have any questions on how to feed your new kitten or problems with feeding, email us and we will gladly help you. Also, you might want to call your local veterinarian with your concerns.
