This show quality silver longhair straight boy is $1500. We may decide to keep him to show if he is not reserved. The only reason we haven't committed fully is that we would need to retire Creampuff to make room and we're not done breeding with him yet (because he was bred to be cute and is having trouble wrangling the ladies).




 

This silver straight shorthair girl is $1100. She is very white with her shading and her pattern borderline ticked tabby.

Evey had her kittens on 8/29/19. She has 8 kittens but she has the shortest body of all our queens and has trouble nursing 4 kittens or more. We are working hard with this litter with supplemental bottle feedings. We will not be taking any inquiries on this litter until a later date. Please don't ask, you are only taking time away from them and we do not know how many will make it. Just continue to watch the blog, we will post when this litter has made it out of the woods and we are close to visits and reservations, most likely when they are eating dry food or raw.

This litter will be fold and straight, shorthair and longhair. It looks so far like 3 red tabbies, 1 cream-tabby, a blue-tabby, a silver tabby, a brown tabby, and a brown tabby and white. Again, we do not know if all the kittens will make it.

On top of bottle feeding, we are helping stimulate them to use the bathroom, multiple weigh-ins, and tracking who is nursing or bottle-feeding to catch dehydration as early as possible. You can see from their messy faces that their mom is overwhelmed and not able to keep all of them clean, although she is trying as hard as possible. We are giving Evey raw and can food throughout the day to try and keep her hydrated and her milk supply up.

This cream boy is $1100.


This girl is $1500. She is show quality and if not reserved we may decide to keep her. She is very social and was asking for butt scratches from the moment she walked out of the kitten bed. So photogenic. I don't know if I've gotten any bad photos from her because she is always staring at us waiting for her picture to be taken.

This will be a lot of videos and pictures of some of the available kittens we still have.

These two are boys for $800 each. Both are great snugglers and playful. The blue-tabby raises his butt so high in the air during scratches that he sometimes falls over in a summersault.







This silver folded longhair male is a velcro cat this is always ready to snuggle or play, or both as you can see in the video. Happy to eat up any type of attention he can get. $2200.





This little white fold has a great face and ears. Very dainty. $2100.





This shorthair black straight male is a hoot. Looks like a cute shadow with eyes running around. $1000






This torbie is one of the stars in our home. Her cream patches are so fun and spectacular when she plays. Silver torbie longhair folded female. $2300.

We will have to start implementing a hard limit of 3 full length e-mails to long distance adopters. The initial kitten application will not count but any questions longer that take longer than 10 minutes to answer and any request for additional pictures on top of our generous website and blog photography and 40 page backyard breeders and why we are different content. A final warning e-mail will be sent from now on that any further communication will be considered a non-serious adopter and no longer get a reply. Individual request for pictures or videos not on the blog sent only to the requester are not honored. ALL picture and videos go up to the blog, increasing the interest in the kitten.

This does not apply to just one person, as we currently have over 6 long distance adopters asking us for hours of e-mails a week, directly reducing the care we can provide our young kittens that need life saving twice daily weigh ins, tube feeding when dehydrated, and bottle feeding if not gaining enough weight. We also grind 30 pounds of raw food a week for our cats on top of feeding them raw three times a day plus can food feedings and any individual feedings for picky eaters. This does not even include the time my family and special needs daughter requires of me. We do know that many of our “serious” long distance adopters are in communication with other breeders in the US, meaning they are not even serious in their inquires to adopt “only from you”. And trust me, if you tell a breeder with international wins that there are no good breeders in Washington state, it will get back to me, especially when we both go to pick up our international awards.

If after hours of communication by e-mail you are unsure of your decision, this is not the kitten for you. Further information will cross over into up selling a kitten, a direct violation of our breeding philosophy. We NEVER want an adopter to take home a kitten they don’t absolutely adore. We understand this is a difficult and costly decision to make, but if you reach this point there is nothing to be done but to schedule a visit, long distance or no.

Please understand that this is done for the health of our babies and you. Over 90% of our actual adoptions take place locally, even after multiple years of international breed winners and with our cats up on the TICA website when looking up our breed. The 10% of real long distance adopters are generally satisfied with our long standing public reputation, verifiable show records, documented health testing, no cage policy, the massive amount of information I freely provide on my website, and have funds to fly in and pick up their kitten in person.

Remember, I am happy to refer you to a local option, but I only refer people who achieve Quadruple Grand Champions and Supreme Grand Champions within one year of showing a cat. Healthy cats can achieve this in 3-5 shows with most regions having 1-2 shows a month usually within driving distance.
