Our Kittens go to their new homes
at 13 weeks of age and are vaccinated, micro-chipped, wormed, insured and
registered with the GCCF (Governing Council of the Cat Fancy) and FIFe (Fédération Internationale Féline).
The Kittens will be weaned and used to eating premium quality dried foods as well as fresh meat and fish. We'll discuss their diet with you and let you know what foods they are used to eating. They will also be litter trained and we will tell you which litter they are used to using. Before going to their new homes all our Kittens are health checked by our Vet.
Because we regard our Kittens as our "babies", we may ask you questions
that you might find intrusive. This isn't just because we're nosy, but
because we want to find the best possible homes for all our Kittens.
We would like our Kittens to go to homes where they will be part of the
family and have access to the house as well as to a safe outdoor
environment preferably. Consideration will also be given to
those propective human slaves who have a suitable indoor
only home.
They are used to living with other cats and meeting our Friends and
Family. We are reluctant to let our Kittens go to a home where they
would be an only cat, as Norwegians are very sociable
cats who need plenty of interaction with humans and other cats. They
aren't snobs however, and don't mind if their feline
friends are non-pedigrees as long as they're good company!
Please note that we do not let our kittens go as breeding cats unless we know the breeder personally, or have a reference from breeders we know well. Breeding is a huge commitment and isn't for everyone. It can entail heart breaking decisions, huge financial outlay and a lot of time, plus steep learning curves. Although you can gain a lot from breeding, this usually manifests itself in pleasure from working with your cats; it tends not to be a material gain. Any of our kittens who go as breeding cats will go to breeders with a registered GCCF, FIFe or TICA prefix.
We require new owners to have Kittens who are on the
Non-active register (i.e. those Kittens who will not be used
for breeding) neutered by 6 months of age. We also expect that
vaccination, worming and flea treatment should be kept up (according
to current Vetinary recommendations) for the life of the cat.
We would be grateful if new owners kept in contact with us occasionally
to let us know how our offspring is progressing! Photos would be very
much appreciated.
We will always be available for help and advice when the
Kitten is in his/her new home. As the welfare of our Kittens
is most important to us, we have no hesitation
in welcoming them back to our home should the need
arise, at any point in their life.
Because we only want the best for all of our Kittens, we always reserve
the right to say no.
Please check under each Queen's page for details of Kittens or planned
matings.
