Of course, you will want your kitten to be weaned and box trained when you take him home, but he should also be independent of his mother, well socialized, and have a strong immune system. When a kitten is ready to go to his new home depends a lot upon the kitten himself. Most responsible breeders wait until they're at least 12 weeks old, but some kittens aren't ready until they are about 16 weeks old.

Kittens are usually ready to go between 10 to 16 weeks dependent on the development of the kitten. Readiness is determined based on physical and social development, independence and acceptance of food. It is critical to us that we prepare each kitten adequately to make a successful transition to his or her new home and we do not allow kittens to leave before we believe they are ready.

Responsible breeders sell their kittens at 12 weeks or older. Many do not sell their kittens until they are between four and six months old. There are some who argue that a kitten is ready to be sold at age 10 weeks; while I don’t personally believe that this is best, it’s within acceptable ranges. However, any breeder who offers you a kitten younger than 10 weeks of age is not up on his or her research and doesn’t have the kitten’s best interest in mind. See similar questions...

Little kittens are definitely appealing. We understand that you want to get your kitten when it's a cute and cuddly baby, however, that is not in the best interest of the kitten.....or for YOU in the long run! Kittens need time to allow their immune systems to develop before being challenged. Moving, adapting to a new family, adjusting to a new environment, and leaving mother and siblings behind are all very stressful for a kitten. See similar questions...

Yes, kittens are fully vaccinated by the time they leave here according to my veterinarian's protocol. Some veterinarians will recommend additional vaccines so you should consult your own veterinarian after purchasing a kitten. Please, always reearch and make an informed decision about the vaccinations you allow your kittens/cats to have. See similar questions...

I let them go at 8 weeks old only because 99% of people want them as young and as tiny as possible. I used to sell them at 10 weeks old, but found out that was really bad for business. Now, I let them go at 8 weeks old, but only after I warn people that if you expect to go to work all day long come home and throw food at your puppy, and then go out to dinner, do not expect a healthy puppy when you return home, and have your credit card ready for vet bills.

Most of our puppies are ready to go at 9 to 10 weeks. We have found that this is an ideal age to begin the socialization and bonding process and allows us to focus on primary socialization here during the critical first 9 weeks. During primary socialization, our puppies are exposed to gentle adult dogs, cats, horses, agility obstacles, noises, various environments, car rides, vet offices, children and unfamiliar visitors.

The first step is to send us an e-mail and inquire. Please, include information about yourself, and others who will be living with the kitten, along with information about pets you now own, or have previously owned. BACK TO TOP See similar questions...

Breeder and show kittens are only available to show homes because it is our strong belief that showing cats must be a part of a successful, responsible breeding program. Also, we work hard to breed the best Persians we can and do not want the fruits of our efforts, our precious kittens, to end up in BYB programs or programs that breed for pets only. That we contribute to the success and good health of the Persian breed is very important to us. See similar questions...

We release kittens at the age of 4 months, when they have been completely socialized and had all of their shots. No, this is not to "late" to send them to a new home and they will bond just as firmly with their new owners as any younger kitten. Beware of anyone who would sell you a kitten at a very young age as this does jeopardize both its health. See similar questions...

We typically let puppies go to their new homes around 8 to 10 weeks of age. We do not let puppies go prior to 8 weeks. In some circumstances we may keep some puppies up to 12-16 weeks of age. The process of deciding what particular puppy you will get involves many factors. We only breed litters where we intend to keep puppies ourselves. We get first pick and will not make a decision on which puppy or puppies we are keeping until at least 7 weeks of age. See similar questions...

You can give the babies away when they are weaned from their mother (no longer need to drink her milk). Watch to see when she ceases to nurse her babies. This is usually around 4 to 5 weeks. Some moms seem like they would be happy to nurse their babies forever, and some will begin the weaning process as early as 3 weeks. It depends on the mother's personality. Since the babies need to be separated by sex at 5 weeks old, that is a good time to give them to their new owners. See similar questions...

TNR is much more cost effective. It costs on average $100.00 to $150.00 to impound, board, and euthanize a cat. For about the same amount of money, two to three cats can be spayed/neutered and vaccinated. No. TNR advocates also stress the necessity for caretakers to continue feeding the cats and monitoring their health. The cats are returned to their "home", where they are familiar with the surroundings, caretaker and whatever hazards exist there. See similar questions...

Yes, it's no problem. Early age neutering has been practiced for more than 20 years now in America and Australia, but in Europe it's still quite uncommon. Kittens will recover quicker and easier from the surgery than adult cats, and because they're small they don't suffer from much bleeding. There has been done a lot and extended research to early age neutering and no research showed any negative effects. See similar questions...

The New Age movement means different things to different people. However, I feel that most all New Age topics have one basic underlying theme. That theme is personal spiritual development. Every day there are thousands upon thousands of people around the world who are waking up to the knowledge, understanding and realization of who they really are, where they came from, and why they are here. This collective transformation of individuals can be described as the New Age movement. See similar questions...

Yes. But it includes a simple approach that doesn't require some "guide" or authority figure who might have their own agenda and lead you astray. No. It's a simple memory technique for converting doylic memories to cognitive memories that involves no age regression at all. See similar questions...
