Thank you so much for this thoughtfull and informative reply. I really really appreciate it. I feel sad for this teenager snowshoe, she said she didn't fix him because she didn't want to "take away anything from him." Whatever that means. And that he is running through the house bouncing off the...
We want to adopt a kitten playmate for our 10-month-old spayed female (Birman). I found a 10 mo old unfixed snowshoe male who owner says has never sprayed and is super sweet. He's been around dogs when younger but not other cats. We would fix him asap. But will he start spraying once exposed to...
Just adopted a new kitten (4 months) that the breeder said was eating Blue Ridge kitten grind and mix (1/2 & 1/2), plus kitty bloom and nuvet vitamins, and a probiotic.
I am concerned about her being nutritionally complete. The breeder is excellent and experienced. But I am new to raw. The...
I have apparently been blessed. I have two catteries who would let me adopt from them. Both 4 month old kittens. Is it unwise to get 2 kittens from different catteries at the same time? Health wise anyway? I have read posts here that indicating getting 2 kittens is good for them. I would like a...
What is the issue with the 'kitten room'? I was wondering about that. One breeder I have seen, does do this. No household time, moms and all kittens together as a group. Well at a certain age, they have their own enclosures till 5 weeks.

If the base comes off, and the bottom tubes are hollow, put rebar up inside them. Just the lower ones, it will make it heavier on the bottom. Then follow the suggestions above of attaching to wall stud. A cup hook and rope would even work. Use stud finder to find stud (not talking a man...
No visits, never met mothers either. Made deposit just before all of this. :( Kitten will be put in crate and I will pick up. That is the extent of interaction. Makes me super nervous. But, really, most are just asking for a deposit. There's no picking a kitten other than color. Ragdolls are...
Thank you. One person, 3 litters of different ages hanging out together now, another litter just born. They are a good breeder by what we have learned. Kittens are kept in a kitten room, like many do. Not sure if they spend time out of it. Doesn't appear so. 2 of the littlest stay hidden, while...
We are seeking to adopt a full breed kitten and most breeders are telling us that their kittens are adopted at 16 weeks. All of the research I have read says that the socialization period is in that first 16 weeks. I am just wondering how a breeder with several litters can socialize all the...
