any available kittens right now.
How we
raise our kittens
| As
breeders of Abyssinians and Somalis, we are concerned
about producing healthy kittens with the best possible
temperaments. Of course, we are also hoping for beautiful
kittens that will grow up to be as close as possible
to the show standards, but health and temperament are
always our primary concerns. |

Our kittens
are usually born in our bedroom and remain there until they
receive their first vaccinations at about six or seven weeks
of age. After their first vaccinations, the kittens are allowed
to join the rest of the household. There they get used to all
the usual household commotion, like vacuum cleaners, doorbells,
telephones, adult cats other than mother, and visiting humans
fussing over them. They spend lots of time in our laps and in
active play. After receiving their second vaccinations and their
immune systems are beginning to strengthen, no earlier than
12
weeks, most kittens are ready to go to their new homes.
We do not allow kittens to leave without their reaching a certain
level of socialization, so they are ready for a strong start
in a new home.
Prices
vary according to the color and the quality of kitten, but
in general, prices start around $900 - $1000.

We are somewhat
"picky" about finding the right home and match-up
for our older cats, since we know their personalities so well.
We have found that they adjust to a new home very well and seem
to revel in more individual attention. They will make wonderful
loving pets! And remember, an Aby or Somali remains very playful
for almost all of its life.
-
Really good news! Tucker, Nosy and Kalie have been adopted
and are doing wonderfully well in their new homes.
-
It is planned that 2 of Sheila's breeding females will be retired
in 2006 and may be available for placement.
Please
contact Sheila for more details about these adults.
