We typically offer video calls, videos, and frequent photo updates.

Q: How can I keep my kitten safe?
A: Kittens are very fragile at a young age and even face some dangers fully matured.

-Loose strings should never be left around cats or kittens as they may try to eat them and cannot spit them back out. This can cause internal blockages requiring emergency surgery.

-Many household plants are poisonous to our pets! These can include dieffenbachias, devils’ ivy, poinsettias, and the most lethal the Lilli flower. Cats that ingest any part of a Lilli almost always die.

-small children should always be attended while with young kittens or cats. Children do silly things sometimes- including not-so-nice things to fluffy critters. Never leave young children with pets without supervision!

-collars should always be BREAK-AWAY. Break-away collars are specifically designed to make sure your cat doesn’t accidently strangle itself and suffocate.

-Occasionally, our cats get sick. But when should you be concerned? If your cat is suddenly not eating or drinking and seems lethargic- this is grounds for an emergency vet visit! Be prepared- research multiple emergency vet nearby and have their numbers and addresses on your fridge. In an emergency, you may only have limited time so make sure you are fully prepared.

Q: Do you offer breeding rights?
A: Yes — case by case. We offer breeding rights only to established or friendly catteries with experience breeding and showing cats.
