lovable
cats for lovable people
s soon as they reliably use the litter box
and are able to climb (depending on the litter between the 6th
or 7th week) they usually sleep with us in bed. Like our adult
cats, the kittens are where we are, and they love to watch us
doing our household chores - sometimes they "help"
us, too...
he kittens are raised in a loving, relaxed
atmosphere with no stress. We like to think they are well
socialized, very friendly and affectionate. From the very
beginning they learn to use the scratching post and get other
basic training important for an harmonious life with humans.
ince 1988 we are members of 1. DEKZV (FIFe),
the eldest cat association in Germany. So everyone of our
kittens gets a pedigree - this is not only a certificate of
origin but also an official confirmation that the kittens
come from a supervised cattery. A noted association as the 1.
DEKZV issues pedigrees only when the breeder observes all
stipulated breeding regulations. These rules are for the
registered cat's well-being and prevent uncontrolled
crossbreedings, defects due to excessive inbreeding or
diseases, and ruthless exploitation of the breeders. But I
think our own personal breeding rules are even more strict
than the rules by any association....
ur kittens don't leave our cattery before
they are at least 12 or 13 weeks old. They get dewormed
several times and are vaccinated for rhinotracheitis and
distemper (other vaccinations on request).
