I’d like to clarify some misunderstanding regarding a recent sad post. I shared a photo of the Valkyrie litter in response to a difficult situation where we experienced the loss of a young kitten we worked very hard to help. Unfortunately, it seems the post wasn’t fully read by certain individuals, which led to some hurtful comments that was flagged and messages sent to me, including assumptions that I was breeding an adult cat with serious health issues when it clearly stated this was an very young kitten of ours not an adult.

Please take a moment to read posts carefully before jumping to conclusions and threatening someone. I am deeply committed to ethical breeding and would never consider breeding a kitten with a condition like the one mentioned.

Continued hateful and threatening messages will automatically result in blockage on page. Thank you for your understanding.

🚨Kitten Care at Our Cattery🚨: Frequently Asked Questions

As a veterinary technician and breeder, I prioritize the health and well-being of our kittens through the following protocols:

1. Deworming: Our kittens are dewormed every two weeks using Drontal,Panacur and/or Pyrantel Pamoate, as is standard among breeders.

2. FVRCP Vaccinations: The first and second FVRCP boosters are administered by me, with the initial booster typically given at 8-9 weeks of age for optimal response. We use Nobivac® Feline 1-HCP or Nobivac® Feline 1-HCPCh.

3. Third Booster & Rabies Vaccine: The third FVRCP booster is administered at the veterinary clinic. The rabies vaccine, required by law, is administered exclusively by a veterinarian at 13-16 weeks of age.

4. Full Health Exam: Kittens receive a comprehensive health exam between 12-16 weeks of age to ensure they’re healthy. This exam includes one or two health certificates, as appropriate.

5. F***l Testing: F***l tests are conducted on one to three kittens per litter at the time of their exam, between 12-16 weeks of age, to monitor for intestinal parasites as we reside in a rural livestock environment.

6. FIV/FeLV SNAP Testing: While FIV/FeLV testing is not routinely required, we perform this test on one kitten per litter if recommended by our veterinarian. All adults and prior kittens from our cattery have tested negative. Buyers may choose additional testing for peace of mind for 1 year health guarantee.

7. Spay/Neuter Contracts: Previously, we offered spay/neuter services before kittens went to their new homes. Due to recent changes, kittens now come with an alter contract requiring the procedure by six months of age. A copy of the owner’s state ID that matches the signed contract for our attorney is required at time of pick up.. No exceptions. 

8. Microchipping: Kittens will be microchipped if they undergo sedation for spay/neuter if over 6 months of age. For safety and comfort, we avoid microchipping without sedation due to the needle size. If clinic has small size in stock. Kittens will be chipped.

9. Flea, Tick & Parasite Prevention: Each kitten is treated with Revolution Plus, which protects against a range of parasites including fleas, ticks, ear mites, roundworms, hookworms, and heartworm disease. Given our rural setting, we also recommend Revolution Plus and Seresto collars for continued protection.

10. Ear Care: Curled-ear kittens require ear cleanings twice a week. We handle this care every Tuesday and Thursday.

11. Grooming: Kittens with medium to long hair are gradually introduced to grooming with water baths and regular brushing to help them adjust.

Additionally, all kittens are weighed daily until they reach 8 weeks of age, and then weekly (or more often if needed) to ensure consistent growth and health tracking.

These procedures ensure that our kittens receive comprehensive care, and we are always available to discuss any questions or additional needs. Thank you for your interest in our cattery!

I hope this message finds everyone well. I wanted to take a moment to share some important updates regarding the cattery. As many of you know, the current economic situation has affected so many aspects of our lives. It’s become increasingly difficult for families to bring new pets into their homes, leading to a decline in adoptions across the board, from rescues to pedigreed kittens. Day by day, the impact has grown tougher on responsible breeders, as some customers are driven to backyard breeders to cut costs, which has led many quality catteries to downsize or close as of late.

As I shared in previous updates, I’ve made the difficult decision to downsize instead of closing my cattery. This decision is due not only to the impact of the economy but also the increasing stress and, at times, unfortunate harassment and ill treatment from certain customers, and my joy being taken away from what I am passionate about. This means that several of my adult females will be retired and spayed in the coming months. They will be available for the cost of their vetting, and some may be listed as breeders. I have also adjusted prices for pet-only kittens, particularly those with long tails and normal paws, and due to changes in veterinary policies, we can no longer alter them under six months of age before rehoming.

With my work responsibilities and family commitments, I’m also not home as much as before, and my time is largely devoted to household tasks alongside the cattery. This limits my ability to take photos and videos as often as I’d like. Once I adjust to these changes, I hope to share updates again, although likely not as frequently as in the past. Please know I will always do my best to keep everyone in the loop.

To ensure kittens are fully ready for their new homes, they will be available for choosing at 8-10 weeks of age -no longer at 3-4 weeks of age- and will start going home at 12-13 weeks, or once they reach over 3 pounds. If you’re interested in a particular kitten, please feel free to fill out an application, and I can add you to a waitlist for a deposit on a specific kitten or future litter that meets your preferences. This will become our standard practice moving into next year.

Thank you all for your understanding and continued support. I am deeply grateful for the community we’ve built together and hopeful for positive changes ahead.

11/02/2024

I want to inform everyone of an update regarding spay and neuter procedures for our kittens. The veterinarian at the family clinic we use has decided to no longer perform these surgeries on kittens under six months old. Unfortunately, there are currently no other clinics I feel comfortable entrusting with this process, and most KY/TN low-cost clinics do not work with breeders or have the necessary equipment to manage emergencies should a kitten experience complications in my surrounding area.

To adapt, I am working with my attorney to revise our contract. Moving forward, it will be required that your kitten be altered by six months of age. No exceptions.Should this requirement not be met, we will take appropriate action to ensure compliance with our attorney and court.

Thank you for your understanding and dedication to the health and well-being of our kittens.

I want to sincerely apologize to those who were expecting more photos of their kittens and the ones currently available. I know how much you look forward to updates, and I had hoped to find more time yesterday to do more. Kittens can be tricky to photograph, and after a bit of effort, I had to stop for the day with not much luck. Right now, my time is mostly dedicated to caring for everyone here, including my family.

We have a kitten who requires a lot of my attention. She was born without an a**s, and at just 2 weeks old, she’s being treated for an infection now due to only having one opening. My priority is making sure she’s as comfortable as possible and hoping she grows strong enough to reach 8 weeks, when she could potentially have surgery. The surgery carries many risks, and I haven’t been given much hope, but I’m doing my best to stay positive and not give up on her.

I truly appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

A tired breeder, still committed.

To everyone who has followed my cattery journey, I want to take a moment to explain some of the challenges I’ve faced recently and the changes I’ll be making moving forward. As I know some is seeing my frustrations posts as of late.

First, I want to share that this cattery has never been a “business” for me. It started as a passion project, born from my love for the Highlander breed as a pet owner since 2011 and a desire to improve its health and quality after personally experiencing losses from backyard breeders myself for this breed. I’ve poured my heart into raising these kittens, with the sole focus of ensuring their well-being and future. Unfortunately, over time, this passion has become overshadowed by the demands, frustrations, and misunderstandings of some who contact me. Where you have seen the lack of posting and sharing of content as of late even though I have been very sick this week.

In just two weeks, I’ve had 103 people inquire about kittens, with many taking hours of my time only to decide to support backyard breeders or walk away after days of messaging. It’s disheartening, especially when people expect everything—including high-quality care, testing, and guarantees—for prices that are unrealistic at 300-500 and setting demands for that price to change because -they will give it a good home-. I understand the desire to save money, but it’s hurtful when my time and efforts are wasted in the process specially wasting hours of my time to tell me this at the end of the 4-hour conversation. I don’t do this for financial gain; majority of all of it goes right back into the cattery literally. My prices are already well below what they could be, given the care and dedication I put into each kitten along with the costs here and what they receive before they go home.

I am only one person here. And those that do not treat me like a person.

I started this cattery to support the breed and to give these wonderful cats the best chance at a healthy, happy life. But what has truly drained me is not the care for the cats.it’s the constant pushback from potential buyers as of late. Some people expect everything for very little, while others continue to push my boundaries even when I kindly say no. This behavior has taken a toll on me emotionally and mentally. If I say no means no, if I don’t answer does not mean to keep bombarding me with phone calls until I answer. 

Moving forward, I’ve made the difficult decision to scale back. I’ll be downsizing the cattery next year or/and having less litters as I transition back into my work as a vet technician. My love for Highlanders remains, but I need to prioritize my well-being and make sure that this hobby, which I once loved, doesn’t become a source of constant stress.

I also want to be transparent with my followers: I may not always be as responsive as I have been in the past. I used to jump hoops for interest buyers and I can’t anymore so, there will be days when I won’t answer calls or messages right away. If I don’t get back to you quickly, it’s not because I don’t care—it’s because I need to prioritize my own mental health and focus on my family first. I work better through messages now, I no longer want to speak over the phone and I ask for your patience and understanding on that unless it is something that is very important. If I feel that someone isn’t the right fit for one of my kittens at any time, I reserve the right to say no, even if we’ve had discussions about a sale and that kitten is reserved. Nothing is final until the kitten leaves my care. I care where my babies go.

I realize this might sound bad for a breeder, but that’s because this isn’t just a business to me. I’m done chasing sales and stressing over it. My focus is returning to what I love and sharing that joy with those who appreciate it when I -have the time to share it-. If you respect my time and boundaries, you’re welcome to be part of this journey with me.

In the past couple months, I already changed my website with detailed information about kittens and the cattery completely. I’ll also be creating a dedicated waiting list for breeders only after honoring the pet only waitlist, as it’s essential for the future of the Highlander breed. Please understand that I will no longer be bending over backwards to answer endless questions, especially if the information is already available through here and on my website. If it is not, I will kindly give you answers.
If you’re genuinely interested, you’ll find everything you need on the website. It just takes a click and a moment to read to see that information you are seeking. I need to save this valuable time for my cattery and my family and my self.

Thank you to those who have supported me and respected the hard work I’ve put into this cattery. I look forward to sharing more of the heartwarming moments with my cats and finding the right homes for them in time once I recover.
