About Our 'Family'

 

My husband, son and I share our home with our 8 year old cat named Leahi, and our 6 year old Chihuahua named Miki.  Both pets are in great health and we have enjoyed the 3 new additions to our family.


When a kitten leaves our home, it will have:

  • Been registered as part of a litter with the CFA. To complete the process, you will also have to register the kitten's name with the CFA, for a nominal fee (currently $10).  You will be furnished with the kittens pedigree and the appropriate CFA form to complete the process after you have had the kitten spayed or neutered.  The Hawaii Humane Society offers a very inexpensive, yet excellent Neuter Now program with participating Veterinarians on Oahu.  A printable application is available online.  They also offer information on microchip services.
  • Received appropriate Vet Exams
  • Received the First Series of Vaccinations.
  • Be accompanied by Kitten Kare Instructions.  (Currently being drafted)
  • Be accompanied by an initial supply of Kitten Food
  • Be accompanied by his or her Health Records.
  • Received lots and lots of love and care from us.

Caring for your new addition is as important as selecting the right pet for your household.  Proper vet care, diet, home environment and exercise make not only for a healthy and happy kitten, but for a healthier and happier you. 

Our Ragdolls are first and foremost, our pets.  As responsible breeders, we will not jeopardize their health by excessive breeding.  We may have a few kittens available on a yearly basis.  We do not sell our kittens to pet shops or kitten mills and we will not breed our cats more than once or twice a year, depending on the welfare of our queens.  Our kittens will be raised under foot and as part of our family.  We have pet-proofed our home and they will be free to roam as they please, just as our current pets do.  We are a CFA registered cattery as of October 7, 1999.

Our kittens will come with a one year health guarantee which will be specified in our signed contract with the owner.   Our contract will also prohibit:  (1) declawing; (2) selling of the cat or kitten to any pet shop, laboratory, or kitten mill; (3) abandoning the cat or kitten to a shelter.  We would like the first opportunity to purchase the cat or kitten if you are unable to care or are no longer willing to care for it.  You will also be required to provide adequate care to include food, vet exams, vaccinations and lots and lots of L-O-V-E!  The cost of our pet-quality kittens is $500 and does not include carriers or  transportation fees.  Click here to view a draft of our contract.

We will also carefully screen all prospective owners to ensure that our kittens will be provided a good, loving home.  Please send us e-mail if you would like to be informed of kitten availability.  Please tell us a little about yourself including your experience in raising or caring for a cat.  Once you are on our waiting list you will be notified of any kitten availability.  In fairness to all on my waiting list, kitten selection is on a 'first-come, first-to-select' basis.  

If you are undecided about a kitten, I suggest you wait until you are ready to commit to a long-term relationship.  If we don't have kittens, one of our links should assist you by putting you in touch with an organization or breeder who may be able to help you.   'What Breeders Look For In Buyers' provides you with general information from a breeders perspective.  If you're not interested in a kitten, but would like information, e-mail us.  We are always happy to help.
