Can we visit your cattery?
Our cattery is also our home and is a closed cattery.
We do not allow home visits and do not entertain outside visitors. If you would like to see a kitten and/or cat, we are more than happy to schedule a live video chat or if we have a kitten who is old enough and not reserved we can meet in a public place such as a pet store or vet office.
For those who have been impacted by scammers, and/or extra cautious individuals, we are happy to do a meeting in person before a kitten is old enough to be out in public, and bring one of our kings to calm your nerves (on a case by case basis, only for serious buyers and as our work schedule allows). I hate how many scammers there are-it is very disheartening.
Over 70% of families who have our kitten, first had some sort of interaction with a scammer, and many even lost money. That is why we have referrals, reviews on several platforms, a detailed website, offer video calls, and have an active social media presence. But even with all those measures, I have seen scam websites nicer than ours, full of convincing pictures and reviews and even stolen health results. That is why we are willing to meet in person.
How do I know you are legit if I can't visit your cattery?
We know there are a lot of scammers and we work really hard to make sure each family who works with us trusts us. We are very picky with who gets one of our kittens and we want to make sure we are the right fit for you.
What makes us legit and verifiable: We are on track to be licensed as an official cattery with the state of Texas under their new guidelines. The licensing means that we are an inspected cattery by the state and have an LLC.
We are a TICA registered cattery and each kitten is eligible to be registered with TICA as well by their families. You can see our cattery certificate at the bottom of every page. In addition, we have reviews on our google page and Facebook, and upon request I can provide personal referrals from our current families.
And as mentioned above we can meet you in a public place upon request.
What is your health guarantee?
Our one-year health guarantee covers genetic defects: HCM, PkeDF, SMA, and hip dysplasia.
We have a 72 hour bacterial and viral infection from the time the kitten goes home. And we provide 30 days of free pet insurance that is active from day 1.
Health guarantee does not include abuse, neglect, injuries, infections and viral infections (AKA all the things we can't control).
Indoor or outdoor cats?
All our cats are raised indoors with a safe enclosed area outside (called a cattio).
I expect the kittens to be kept indoors only as well when they go to their new homes. This will help prevent catching diseases from other cats, fleas, ticks, and predators.
Once a cat is exposed to the outside world, they will get more curious and continue to want to go out and explore. There’s that chance that they may never return home due to someone stealing them, getting hit by a car, or a predator getting to them. Allowing our kitten to be an outdoor cat voids all health guarantees and is irresponsible pet care.
Will my Maine coon scratch my furniture? What about declawing?
All cats, including maine coons, scratch as part of their normal behavior and grooming needs.
It is your responsibility to protect any furniture and provide ample scratching posts to meet your cat's needs. Unwanted scratching is a modifiable behavior. If you do not want a cat who scratches, your best bet is a toy cat, and I am not kidding.
I am against declawing any cats. Many do not know this, but declawing is like having part of your knuckles amputated. This can cause long-term effects and behavioral issues. And it’s plain animal cruelty. Any declawing done to my kittens after they leave my home will void all health guarantee contracts. No exceptions.
What does each kitten come home with?
1. Age appropriate vaccination
Rabies is a fatal virus that can affect cats as well as humans. This is a core vaccine that is generally required by law because of how serious this disease is. All kittens and adult cats should be vaccinated against rabies.
FVRCP stands for feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. This is a core vaccine considered essential for all kittens. Calicivirus and rhinotracheitis are common feline viruses known to cause upper respiratory infections in cats. Panleukopenia, commonly referred to as feline distemper, is a highly contagious and often fatal disease that attacks rapidly growing and dividing cells like those in the intestines, bone marrow, and the developing fetus.
2. Spay or neuter
To avoid any surprise pregnancies or escape behaviors along with a host of health problems such as cancer. Spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the incidence of breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 90 percent of cats. Un-spayed female cats also carry the risk of developing pyometra – a fatal condition of the uterus that requires surgery to treat. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Neutering your cat prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems.
Another benefit of spay/neuter is your cat's coat stays more consistent. In cat shows they have separate categories for spayed/neutered or altered and not-altered. Not-altered cats have more energy directed to reproductive functions. But altered cats have bigger bodies, fuller coats, and less shedding.
