What do I do First???
First, look at the website. Look at the kittens.
Second, read my Contract and Information Pages and FAQ's page to make sure you understand how things work.
Third, IF you agree with everything you have read, TEXT me 540-429-0311 with Your NAME, Your Facebook name and the kittens you are interested in. TEXT TEXT TEXT. When you do a friend request, please make sure you have already text me your name, otherwise I won't know who the request is from and will not accept.
Fourth, LOOK at the arrival dates of the kittens you like. If it says a kitten will arrive on March 15 and it is now Jan 24, you cannot visit the kitten. It is NOT here yet. Look at the dates please. Most of the time, I bring the kittens as they are sold so they are not sitting around the cattery.
Finally, once you have chosen your kitty, TEXT me 540-429-0311 to be sure it is still available before you send the deposit. Deposit is $400.00 We do Zelle, Cash App and CC option through the website. Balance will be due at pick up or delivery.
Hopefully this simplifies things for everyone. Happy Kitty searching.
What should I do once kitten comes home?
At this time, you should already have your vet appointment made as stated in the Contract.
Put kitten in a quiet room for 2-3 days. Visit often and let them get to know you.
Keep kids calm and pets away for a while. Should be QUARANTINED until vet visit anyway.
Since they have been raised in quiet surroundings, it's best to have them in a smaller room. If you attempt to let them loose in your open space areas, they WILL HIDE!!!!
Toys should NOT have feathers, strings, or be small enough to ingest. Cut these things to avoid an emergency room visit.
Do not give cat nip loosely. If they inhale that into their nose, it could get lodged and get infected.
Cat trees should not be tall. I have had many people inform me of bad accidents due to high cat trees.
Check out cat food. So many "Best Brand Names" have the worse ingredients. I have switched to Orijens for Kittens now with a very small amount of Hills Science for Kittens. The reason I add the Hills is because I am not convinced that TOTALLY grain free is the best choice. If giving any wet food, use small amounts or you could have diarrhea. Also, they are finding the linings of cans of food are not good. I also stay away from RAW. Our own foods are full of chemicals and antibiotics and SODIUM. Kidney Disease is #1 killer of cats. Bad food and not sufficient water intake does a lot of harm.
If you are determined to use a water fountain, you will need to clean the filter and unit every other day. The bacteria from saliva build up quickly and make the water slimy. Make pets SICK!!! If using a fountain, do NOT use plastic. Get stainless steel.
Do not let them walk on grass outdoors for some time. They can get bacteria, virus and worms, especially from dog poo. There is a high rate of Giardia now and dogs are getting it often. Let them build up their immune systems.
Kittens have been FULLY VACCINATED!!!! They do not need LEUKEMIA or other unnecessary poisons unless you will be letting them out with feral animals. If you have an outdoor dog, that becomes a different story. Use your discretion.
Put up cords, cell phone charging cords, stringy things, soiled shoes from outside, keep toilet seats DOWN!!!!! I have seen 2 cats get ringworm from moldy laundry rooms and smelly shoes. YES, they will stick their entire face in there.
Just be calm and easy with them. It's a new home for them and they need to adjust slowly.
