Question 1

What age do you let your cats leave?

Accepted Answer

12-14 weeks depending on the kitten. The time frame is at my desecration. I want to make sure my kittens are socially ready for their new home, as well as eating both hard and soft food and using a litter box. So just as humans develop at different paces so do animals and I want to give them and you the best experience and less stressful transition from my home to yours as possible.

Question 2

How long do these cats live?

Accepted Answer

16+ years is what these cats are known to life for. Many of them have lived 20 or more years. So life span depends on so many things, what you feed them, how you take care of them, ect. These cats have a great life span.

Question 3

What price are you kittens?

Accepted Answer

The going rate for our networks kittens is currently $2500-$4000 depending on the breeder and their location. I try to keep my prices on the lower end of that scale, my focus is on conservation not sales.

Question 4

Do you sell with breeding rights (BR)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but breeding rights are conditional and comes heavily contracted and with required mentoring and being part of our breeding network.

Question 5

Do you require breeders to own a stud cat?

Accepted Answer

No, we have breeders in our network that will allow you to use their stud. However each stud own makes their own decision weather or not to allow you to use their stud by weather or not they feel comfortable with you.

Question 6

Do you charge extra for breeding rights?

Accepted Answer

I personally do not, most of our breeders also do not, but there are some that do.

Question 7

How often do you groom or brush your cats?

Accepted Answer

I tell my buyers to do this daily. Some seasons you can get away with not brushing daily, but if you keep it a habit to brush daily weather they need it or not, then during those seasons when there is a heavy under coat, it’s not so hard to maintain as your cat will be accustomed to grooming.

Question 8

How often do you bath your cats?

Accepted Answer

My adult cats not as often as my kittens. Some of my adult cats handle it better than others. my kittens I do weekly from the age of 4 weeks old on. This is so they are accustomed to it when you get them, I encourage you to keep this up every couple weeks, and you can slowly adjust that down to once a month as they get older. As long as you keep them use to it, it makes it easier for you during those times when a bath is required.

Question 9

What products do you use to bath?

Accepted Answer

I like Chris Christensen products, clarifying shampoo, finishing rinse, and several others. They have a great spray for static and for stud cats they have a nice degreaser. They also have a whitening shampoo. I also use Matt Out. I like the grey hound combs and slicker brushes that have the long bristles and balls on the end.

Question 10

What do you use for cat pee accidents?

Accepted Answer

I am fortunate not to have this problem often, because I am also highly sensitive to the smell of cat urine. So, I keep “Un-Duz-It Unleashed” and “Cherry Alcohol” on hand just for those times, a furniture cleaning guy told me this is what he uses, unduz it in a spray bottle diluted 50/50 with water (it’s very strong) Cherry alcohol is nice to have to stop cleaners from foaming if you are using a shampoo’r

Question 11

Do both male and female cats spray (or) do all male cats spray?

Accepted Answer

In general it’s not as common for a female cats to spray, but it’s not unheard of either. But generally speaking it is the male that sprays. If you are purchasing a pet, neutering him prior to breeding age, usually prevents this problem. Once a male starts spraying there is no guarentee that neutering will stop it. For breeders, my male does not spray, but I also do not own any other intact males in my home, nor do I allow him to be where there are other intact males. So it depends on the environment you house your male in. (I also know breeders who have multiple males, but their stud cat is the only one that is not neutered and they also have no issues). So the key to owning a male that does not spray is do not have 2 intact males in your home if you desire not to deal with spraying. Yet there is no guarantee an intact male will not spray
