When Can I Take My Kitten Home????
Kittens usually go to their new homes b/t the ages of 12 to 16 weeks. Making a transition to a new home can be very stressful for any cat. Changes in water, litter, new noises/smells, being away from their siblings for the first time CAN cause minor ailments, even in healthy kittens. I like to make sure my kittens have a great start both physically and socially before going to their new home. To help give them a head start all kittens will have at least one of their vaccines(4-in- 1) and a basic worming prior to leaving.
How Do I Reserve My Phantom Angel Kitten????
Due to the small number of kittens annually you have two options:
A) Place a $200 dollar, non-refundable deposit to guarantee you a kitten from the next litter. If you do not like any of the kittens, you have the option of waiting for the next litter.
OR
B) Place your name on a "Non-Deposit" waiting list. When a kitten is of age, I contact you, and set up an appointment to meet the kitten. This option works however I usually do not have many kittens available.
What are your prices?
Pet Quality: These kittens do not meet 100% of the breed standards but make wonderful, healthy, loving pets. Pet quality kittens are are not to be bred or shown. Pet kittens will ALWAYS be required to be spayed/neutered. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME IF YOU CAN HAVE "JUST ONE LITTER".
Pet prices start at $650 - $850 plus.
Breeder Quality: Kittens that meet the breed standard and will be valuable to a breeding program. Breeder prices start at $1200 - $1500.
Show Quality: Kittens that meet the breed standard and can compete in a show ring. Show quality prices start at $1600+.
Deposits are excepted to hold kittens however as mentioned above, ALL DEPOSITS ARE NONREFUNDABLE. Shipping costs are not included in the above prices. Prices for shipping range from $300 to $350 and are dependent on the weather. A small discount is offered if two kittens are bought at once. Some individuals believe that because they are not planning on showing a show quality cat that this entitles them to pay for pet quality prices. Show quality kittens are show cats and whether you decide to show them or not will not change the fact that they will be priced as a show cat.
What happens after I place my deposit?
After your deposit is placed, we wait for the kittens to be born. When they arrive I send an email announcement and a few pictures of the new litter. Every few weeks I send pictures and updates via email until the kittens are about 8 to 9 weeks. This way you can "watch" your kitten grow from birth to young kittenhood. At the ages of 8 to 9 weeks, I set up appointments to come and select your new kitten! Kittens usually go to their new homes b/t the ages of 12 to 16 weeks. PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR KITTENS YOUNGER, THE ANSWER IS NO.
Why do I have to wait soooo long to see/pick my kitten????
I choose to wait to protect the kittens. Young kittens do not have a strong immune system. I can not take a chance on someone bringing a "bug" into the house and losing a kitten. I know its hard to wait but I also know you would rather have a healthy kitten, who was well protected. Also it takes approx. 8-9 weeks for the true personalities of the kittens to develop. All kittens are raised underfoot, not in a cage. This helps make for loving, people oriented, lap warmers!
