Declawing Kittens/Cats
We want to make sure you know that declawing can cause lasting physical problems for cats. Many countries have banned declawing, because of how inhumane it is (it's like taking off a person's toes). We hope that you find the time to research what it means to declaw a cat or kitten. A great starting point is visiting https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/declawing-cats-far-worse-manicure
If you'd like more information, please let us know and we'd be happy to help!
Diet and Nutrition
Our kittens are raised on a high-quality, nutritious diet.
Dehydration is a serious concern for cats, and it can lead to health complications that can sometimes be fatal. Offering fresh, clean water is absolutely necessary, but it isn't always enough.
If you have any questions about your kitten's diet or eating habits, or if you are considering offering a different brand or type of food, please discuss it with us.
We are here to help, before and after your kitten comes home.

What we use
Supplements:
The Honest Kitchen, Daily Boosters, Beef Bone Broth
Purina ProPlan Veterinary Diets, FortiFlora and Imuquin
Meal Time:
Don't forget bowls for food and water, and consider investing in a water bubbler or fountain, which can help keep water from becoming stagnant. But it must be cleaned regularly. We use a PetSafe Water Fountain.
Litter and Accessories:
-World's Best Cat Litter, green bag
-Dr. Elsey's Ultra Litter Attractant, not always necessary, but it never hurts to have it on hand.
-Solid, sturdy litter mats (like the Cat Litter Trapper, which are available on Amazon) make it a lot easier to keep your kitty's litter area clean.
-There are a variety of litter pan designs. We use combinations of basic, uncovered pans (like this SoPhresh model) and domed pans with a stair entry.
Pet Insurance:
This is very important. We recommend Trupanion.
We provide the first 30 days, upon the kitten's arrival at your home. Per the contract agreement, the adopter agrees to keep the insurance for at least 3 additional months. Please click on the button below to get your copy of the Trupanion's Certificate to activate your first 30 days.
