Cattery Visits
In this day and age, inviting people into your home can be quite dangerous. There are many anti-breeder and animal rights activists out there, and we do not want to risk the safety of our family or pets. We limit visits as much as possible for several reasons.
First off we are not a pet shop. We are not “open for business” for visitors to come and “meet the breed”, or to give you something to do on a afternoon. We do not provide allergy visits, as each cat/kitten has their own level of dander and you may be allergic to one cat over another. Nor do we allow visits to come pick out a kitten or just to come look at the cats or meet the parents. Photos of all parents will be provided during the adoption process if they are not already on my website.
When you’re asking to visit, our “cattery” you are asking to visit our home, where we live with our family and children. It can be very intimidating trusting total strangers, and allowing them into your home. I’m sure you would feel the same and take the same precautions when it comes to inviting strangers to your home.
Visitors are pretty invasive in our daily life and strangers in the house can be extremely stressful for the kittens when they hear and smell things unknown to them, and their mothers who are very protective of their youngsters, especially with strangers. Young kittens are extremely vulnerable to airborne diseases and their mother’s stress.
Therefore we limit visitors to people who have paid the deposit (this eliminates shoppers) and are coming to pick their kitten up. That doesn’t mean we have anything to hide, it means we take the utmost precautions for our own and our cats and kitten’s sake. We meet on my front porch to go over paperwork and for you to finally get to meet your kitten in person.
We are always happy to meet you at a show. We often go to shows and bring several of our cats and kittens with us, and we’re happy to meet with you there and show you who we have with us. We have many references available from people who have been at our house and from friends and fellow breeders that you can ask questions, and my veterinarian who sees me and my cats on a regular basis if you have any doubts regarding how our cats live, are treated and cared for. Also we are happy to set up a FaceTime meeting and to provide photos and video so you can see your kitten live and in action before making a commitment.
If you have any other questions please feel free to I ask. I want you to feel comfortable throughout the adoption process, and I’m more than willing to do whatever I can to make this a fun, exciting, and worry-free experience.
