My name is Carla Davison, and along with my amazing and extremely supportive husband, Bill, we run a small, in-home, 100% cageless purebred Persian "closed" cattery. I have been running our cattery since the beginning of 2016, and have had quite a few litters since then, with very happy, well-adjusted, cuddly, loving, and above all, healthy kittens. Thomas, ON (near London, about half way between
Windsor and Toronto). Kittens will NOT be ready to leave their mothers until they are a minimum of 12 weeks old. It is extremely important and very beneficial to the demeanour of the kittens to stay with their mother until then, in order to learn everything they need to from mom and the other adult Persians in our home, to make them the BEST pet kitten & cat possible for their new human family.
***THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE:***
I will not separate any of my kittens from their mother earlier than 12 weeks old, so please don't ask me to! I currently do not ship (via airlines) my kittens, (due to Covid and flight restrictions). However, I can deliver your new kitten directly to you, and depending on your location, if you are in SW Ontario, or possibly up towards the Kingston area, I can deliver to as well, depending on timing and weather (as we make a couple trips per year up to the Kingston area). What do I mean by "closed cattery", you ask? In short, although I would LOVE for you to come to our home to see the babies in their loving & nurturing environment, I cannot risk a couple of things:
1) Since my babies are not vaccinated until they are 8 weeks old, they have absolutely NO immunity to any illnesses/diseases that ANY person may unknowingly bring in with them, *especially* if they have another pet that may go outdoors (ie. dogs)...This is also including me and my family! We as a family are always extremely diligent on making sure that no illness or disease from outside our house gets inside to our unprotected babies/kittens. We sanitize every time before we touch the babies. I simply cannot risk my baby kittens' health or lives, by them getting sick from something outside of their home environment.
2) There have been too many nightmares happening with breeders over the past few years, where their homes have been broken into and kittens & puppies have been stolen once certain people find out the address. If you are interested in a kitten, I can and absolutely will keep you updated with photos, and/or videos, and their demeanours/personalities. FYI - I have homed literally all of my kittens, without any of their new human parents meeting them in my home, or choosing them beforehand, aside from looking at photos and me knowing what kind of home life they would be in. I have numerous (all of them) very happy kitten parents that have told me that I personally made the perfect choices for them (the new owners), just by analyzing the kitten's personality and the new owner's home (whether it be a busy household, or a calm one). All my kittens are purebred Persians, and I am currently in the process of having them all registered hopefully this year. All my kittens come with a 1-year health guarantee against any congenital (hereditary) health issues/illnesses contract. They will also have, before going to their new homes, the following:
- Up to date on their shots;
- Eating either wet (canned) and/or dry food;
- Microchipped;
- Dewormed a minimum of 4 times;
- Vet check health certificate with kitten's medical records from my Veterinarian who sees the babies as least twice (normally 3 times) before going to their new homes;
- Fully litter trained;
- Fully scratch post trained (I start training them at 5 weeks old);
- Flea treatment with Revolution;
- PLENTY of hugs, cuddles, my undying love & attention, and will be very well socialized with people;
- All of my kittens come with a lifetime supply of support by me. I will always be there to answer any of your questions or concerns, etc. for the entire life of your new furbaby. Your new kitten will also go to their new home with a kitten starter kit from me which includes a tote/carry bag with a free bag of the food they are currently on, an kitten information book, a coupon booklet from Royal Canin for free canned food and 2x $10 off a bag of dry food (what I feed them from the day they start eating), a blanket with their siblings' and mom's scent on it to make for an easier transition to their new home, a couple of toys that they enjoy playing with (a mouse, feather toy, etc). They have already been introduced to all of our other cats, including their amazing and loving dad. They all get along amazingly. What is a "cageless cattery"? Not a single one of my kittens have ever seen the inside of a cage, as I fully believe that one of the most important things I can give them is free run, "under foot" of our house/cattery, so they can get used to/learn how a normal day to day household is. I do not believe in caging cats or kittens. Every single kitten that is born in my home has been handled by me, literally by the second they are born. I am up with my mommas through the entire night, playing midwife, holding the babies from the moment they start being birthed (I protect them from falling should mom stand up or go to sit down). PM me for any information you may need, or questions answered.
