We have agreed to the TICA Voluntary Code of Ethics and we breed our cats and kittens following such ethic rules. We think that's the only way of breeding!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A RESPONSIBLE BREEDER?

When you buy a kitten from a responsible breeder, you can expect the breeder to:


Guarantee that the kitten is in good health and free from FELV ( Feline Leukemia) and FIV ( Feline Immunodeficiency);

Strongly urge you to have your own veterinarian examine your kitten within a few days of purchase to confirm its good health.;

Require that you have your kitten neutered or spayed at the appropriate age.;

Provide a written sales agreement that describes all terms of the sale, including the breeder's health guarantee and the neutering/spaying agreement.

Be intensely interested in the welfare of every kitten they produce, and encourage you to call whenever you have questions about your kitten.

 

HOW CAN I TELL IF A KITTEN IS HEALTHY?

Handle the kitten. It should have good muscle tone, a clean coat, and bright, clear eyes. The kitten should not be sneezing or sniffling. Its eyes should be free from discharge and its ears should be clean and pink inside. There should be no bald patches. Check behind its eras and low on its back, at the base of the tail, for flea dirt ( which looks like black sand).

 

WHEN CAN I TAKE THE KITTEN HOME?

Most responsible breeders allow their kittens to go to new homes at 12 weeks of age or older. It 's might seem old ; but it's actually a good age to make the transition to anew home. At 12 weeks. a kitten us weaned, litter trained and has been vaccinated at least twice. And it still has plenty of comical, loveable kitten hood to go.

 

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER I BRING THE KITTEN HOME?

When you bring your kitten home, make sure you follow the breeder's instructions carefully. Making the transition to a new home can be very stressful for any cat. Changes in food, water, litter and overall environment can cause minor aliments, even in healthy cats.

 

HOW CAN I TELL IF A KITTEN IS WELL SOCIALIZED?

Play with the kitten using a toy ,such as a feather or ribbon. After a period of normal caution toward strangers, the kitten should relax into a friendly, active and playful attitude. Many perfectly friendly kittens would rather play than held; however, after becoming acquainted with you, the kitten should let hold it for a short time.

 

WHEN I RECEIVE THE KITTEN'S PAPERS?

When you get your kitten, you'll receive its health / vaccination record and a written sales agreement. If you have purchased a PET kitten you'll receive its registration form after you have sent to the breeder a veterinarian' s certificate of neutering.

 

WHY IS THE BREEDER ASKING ME QUESTIONS?

Don't be offended if the breeder asks you questions ( for example , whether you have other cats, etc..). The breeder is not trying to embarrass or intimidate you; they are simply trying to determinate whether their kitten will have the kind of home they want. Remember, to a responsible breeder a kitten is not an incommodity; it's an individual to be loved. A responsible breeder strives to find the best possible home for each kitten.

 

WHY TRUST IN A RESPONSIBLE BREEDER?

While no one can guarantee that your kitten will never have a medical problem, a responsible breeder's commitment to ethical, responsible breeding increases your chances of getting a healthy, well adjusted kitten.
