The Care Behind Every Kitten

Raising healthy, well-socialized kittens takes time, care, and significant ongoing investment. Our pricing reflects not only the kitten you bring home, but the care behind our breeding cats, kittens, and cattery as a whole.

 

1. Quality Keeping of Breeding Cats
This includes:

• proper nutrition

• regular veterinary care and observation

• grooming

• clean, comfortable living spaces

• ongoing attention to health, temperament, and wellbeing

​

2. Shows 

Our breeding cats are shown and evaluated to help confirm their quality, structure, temperament, and suitability for our breeding program.

We participate in CCA (Canadian Association), CFA (United States Association), and TICA (International Association) shows, which allows our cats to be assessed by experienced judges, including specialists familiar with our breed. Showing also involves travel, entry fees, hotels, and arranging care for the cattery while we are away.

3. Responsible Breeding Program Costs 

Maintaining a responsible breeding program also includes carefully selecting and purchasing new breeding or show cats when needed. This helps us preserve health, temperament, and breed quality for future generations.

4. Small Litters

Our litters are small, usually around three kittens. Our queens are bred carefully and not overused, typically having about three litters over two years.

​

5. Raising Kittens

Raising kittens involves much more than food and vaccinations. It also means:

• dedicating part of our home to cats and kittens

• monitoring mothers closely during labor and recovery (many sleepless nights)

• watching weight gain and development every day, hand-feeding kittens who are gaining weight poorly

• being prepared for emergency veterinary care when needed

• giving each kitten time, handling, and socialization
