*************************************

Kitails will post information for all to
read on the kitten page as information is available.

Kitten pics are usually posted at five
weeks.

Choosing of kittens is usually from the pics or during class.

Kittens at this age do not show enough personality to say much about them.
We do not email individual pics to anyone.

Please do not ask to visit the kittens on
any day other than the day of your appointment. This may sound harsh, but
we are not a petting zoo.

So, $350.00  x 4 weeks or 1 month = 1,400.00

$1,400.00 x the 5 months it takes to get a kitten ready to go home;

$1, 400.00 x 5 = $7,000.00

Minus food,  litter, medical expenses, and suppliments may run about -$150.00 a week

So, $150.00 x 4= -$600.00 a month

$600.00 x 5 months = -$3,200.00

Income $7,000.00 - Supplies $3,200.00 = $3,800.00 5 months

This does not take into accout the other 7 months of the year where there the females may or may not produce kittens and the year round care of the males.

And medical expenses, cat shows, a website and services, time it takes to produce pictures, update website and social media, buy pedigrees, paper work, processing application, grooming cats and socializing kittens, taking them to the vet, talking to custumors, printing forms, getting the kittens ready to go home, cattery up keep, doing research on cats and what they need, etc.

This is just a really rough approximation of the cost to produce a kitten. It actually costs much more and we actually make less.

So, we make less than $5 an hour.

If, you were to pay a breeder for all the time and money they spend  to produce a kitten at $10.00 an hour the kitten would cost closer to $3,00-$5,00.00

Your kitten does not cost to much.

Waiting List: The choosing of kittens goes in the order that you attend class to a kitten care class.

A kitten/cat will be marked as reserved when a family makes their choice. Your Commitment Fee is due at this time, so I

can schedule appointmenst with the vet for altering. The Commitment fee pays for the altering of your kitten.

If it is your turn to choose, you have 3 days to make your choice.

If it is your turn and you don't make your choice in that time period I will allow the next family to begin making their choice.
We need to be considerate of all on the list.

When Breeders are on the
wait list: they get first pick
because the best kittens are needed
in order to keep the Siberian breed
at its best. I also reserve the right to put
on hold a kitten that I am considering for
my breeding program.

1 Breeder is now on the wait list.

Why kittens go home after twelve weeks? 

Kitails kittens go home at 12-13 weeks because they are altered at about 10 weeks and need time to heal
after altering is done. They are also not socially ready to leave their mother until they are 12 weeks old.

* Once a kitten is altered it doesn't really matter if you choose a boy or girl. They no longer have the gender
related issues that an unaltered kitten/cat would have. They are basically all the same after altering.

Shots/Deworming/Teeth:

Your kitten comes with its first shot.

Kittens should receive a series of  3 distemper shots as kittens at 8, 12, and 16 weeks, and a rabies at 16
weeks.

These shots are repeated at one year and every three years after that.

Your Kittie should be checked for parasites every six months or you can just do a dewomer bought from
your local pet supply store every six months. Dewormers are done twice- two weeks apart. If, needed
they can be done a third time, but still need to wait two weeks again before giving the third dose.

They should recieve a yearly check-up to look for problems.

They should have their teeth cleaned by the vet every three years.

Please be a responsible pet owner

The life of a kitten is in your hands when you take one of these sweet bundles home.
Many people start out with good intentions of caring for them all their life, but then along
the way some feel that kittie isn't so important anymore. A cat can live for 25 yrs. or more.
Being a kitten is a small part of this 25 years of life.

Please take into consideration that along the way you will need to get regular vet check-ups
and medical care. If you do not think you can afford to pay for this, consider getting pet insurance.
It usually costs about $200.00 a year, which may be cheaper than one visit to the vet.

Although it is not a requirement you should seriously consider it.
If you don't think you can afford pet insurance, then perhaps you should consider
whether or not you will really be able to afford a cat/kitten because just like you they
need to be seen by a doctor and need medical care.

Along the way you may run into problems with litter box usage, or furniture scratching,
or moving, or injury, or sickness, or financial problems, and the golden years of old age, of your
Siberian. Are you prepared to take care of this kitten/cat in all situations?

Please think it through and talk about it with family members.
If the answer is no to any of these questions... please don't adopt this kitten.
They are entirely dependent on their owners for food, shelter, and medical care.
We have loved them from birth and don't want them to go to a home where someone has
neglected, abused, or abandoned them to a shelter or just dumped them somewhere to fend for
themselves. Adopting a Siberian should be for the ENTIRE LIFE of the kitten/cat.

Bring all of your asthma/allergy meds (take them as you usuually do) Dr's phone number, and a clean change of clothing in case of reaction.

4 . If, you do not react Choose a kitten. Kitten pics are usually posted around the time the kittens are five weeks old. Families may begin choosing at this point (in the order of the wait list) When you choose your kitten it will be time to Pay Commitment Fee to Reserve a Kitten or Cat .

5. When your Commitment check gets here your kitten will be reserved. The kittens are usually altered at 10 weeks. Kittens go home at 12 weeks.

6. Get Things Ready for Your New Pet to Come Home.

*Buy your kitten food.
Order your Pure Taurine, Colstrum, and Doc Roys Daily Feline Care.
(You will be getting a small food supply on pick-up day)

*Buy toys Swheat Scoop litter, litter scooper, small spray bottle for cleaning the box and vinegar, paper towels for drying the box.

*You will also need something for your kittie to sleep on, cat scratch, nail clippers, grooming comb, C.E.T. kit for brushing teeth (or an oral water additive), hair scissors (and/or a Furminator and Pet Neat Briush) to remove knots, and a grooming Detangeler spray.

*Prepare a small room (bathrooms are best) by putting all your kitten/cat supplies in it. There should
be no wires or places to hide under beds and such, as they may just stay and hide there and not attach to your family. This small room is where you will keep your kitten when you are not with it.

*Kittens need baby proofing because they are babies. All wires should be wrapped with electrical tape.
There are many colors to choose from so that they match your decore. This may take some time, but if you start early you will not need to worry about kittens/cats chewing on wires.

Do not leave out charger wires, small toys they can choke on, toys with strings as they can wrap around the kitten's neck or the neck of a child. Do not leave out strings of any kind because the kitten
may also eat them and string can get tangled around the intestine.

*Check for plants that are poisonous to cats so, you do not have any of these in your home.

8. Make a wellness appointment for your kitten/cat. This should be scheduled for within three days of Pick-Up Day.

9. Come on a Pick-Up Day. Make the Final Payment (Please make this cash), Sign the Contract, and
Bring Your New Kitten or Cat Home.
