Our kittens leave vaccinated, spayed or neutered, microchipped and guaranteed negative for FIV and FeLV. We show you how to keep claws short and provide the scratch pad they need, so you won't have problems with your furniture. (See .)
We raise kittens with three guiding principles: socialization, early handling and environmental enrichment. Our kittens are loved and handled from the day they are born. While they're with us, they're held, hugged and played with constantly.
The kitten at right has just had breakfast and is being weighed.
Every kitten is weighed twice a day the first four weeks so we know the mother is producing enough milk and every kitten is gaining weight. As soon as their eyes open we start trimming claws, as competition at the milk bar can be fierce!
Kittens stay with their mom and littermates in our bedroom until they're vaccinated. then they run around our house, which is a playground of toys and climbing places. At 16 weeks, when they're self-confident and ready, they go to their new home.
Hopefully, your kitten will be with you for 15 to 20 years, so these weeks with their first family are worth it!
