Kittens

The care of the future kittens depends on their parents health condition.
Our cats are vaccinated against cat flu, cat disease, leukemia, rabies and Chlamydia, regularly tested on FIV, FeFL, HCM and PKD.
Correspondingly all our kittens get the necessary health care: Vaccinations against flu, cat disease, chlamydia, calicivirus, and leukaemia, deworming, chipping.
Kittens get their Health Certificates and EU pet passports.
When our cats are placed with you, they will come with a FIFe Club Pedigree and a Sales Contract, for the purpose of our mutual security. More important, it is for the safety of a cat.
The purchase agreement is legally valid and not subject to change. Just as we honor the contract, we expect the same of the buyers of our cats.
The price for one kitten of the pet quality (not for the further breeding) is €750 This sum includes the prepayment of €100 per kitten which has to be paid as a reservation fee.
We would like to get to know potential buyer's family circumstances and would appreciate some additional information:

• are there any children in the family?; how many?
• are there any other pets; what are they?
• what is the sole purpose of this kitten in your home?

We would like to be sure that our perfect cats will get corresponding perfect living and loving conditions in their new homes.

Upbringing

The kittens are born in a box in our apartment. The first three weeks they stay in it with their mother. Then kittens leave their birth house and start to explore the space of our apartment. Whether bedroom, bathroom or living room, our babies can move freely throughout the home. Our kitchen is the only exception at the times we cook. (The hot stove is just too dangerous).
From the very first days the babies grow in the close contact with everyone in our household, people and other cats. In this way they learn how to socialize, which is very important for their development.
High-quality wet or dry foods are always available for the kittens, as soon as they are on their own. All cat's children are part of our family and we are trying to teach them everything they could face in future. To strengthen character our kittens grow with all the everyday sounds, such as vacuum cleaner, blender, TV, music, or any other everyday noise.
Sure, every child is unique and Russian Blue cats' character is very different.

Potential owner

You can start visiting our kittens from about the age of six weeks. However, they will only leave us within the 13 weeks of life.
Experience has shown that they simply need this time in order to develop properly and to become socialized.

Very important!

If you strive for having pleasure with your pet, never allow your animal suffer of the loneliness. Your pet has to have a good companion of his own type, a dog - for a dog, a cat - for a cat to satisfy your pet's need of companionship.
For a cat's wellbeing we do not intend to sell our kittens to those, who have no pets at home or do not plan to purchase another one, as well.

For reservation

What does a Kitten Dream of...?

Bright, nodding flowers; Gay butterflies?
Sweet-scented grass; Blue summer skies?
Cool woodland path And dancing leaves?
Sunlight glinting Through tall trees?

A puff of down Gently touched by paw,
To float up and away ?Til seen no more?
He dreams of a kitten Are gossamer things
A slight hint of breeze; A faint rustle of wings?

The dreams of a kitten Are too precious to say,
And the fey mists of time, They must melt away?

Anthology of the Verse, Joan Moore, 1979
