Conditions of Adoption

If you are on this page it's because you have a crush for one of my babies or that you would like to welcome a kitten from our home. I will explain you how I work, thank you to read the whole page before contacting me, you will normally find all the important information.
First of all, I would like to tell you that all the babies who are born at home are loved from their first minutes. I am present at every birth and it is always a very intense moment for me.
For 13 weeks minimum we will love them, feed them, take care of them, cuddle them, play with them, reassure them and share many wonderful moments. Of course I know that they will leave but it is not for as much that I can put a distance. Each departure is heartbreaking and it is impossible for me to hold back my tears despite the joy of seeing them go to extraordinary families overflowing with love.
My top priority is to choose perfect families for my kittens and not the other way around. Each little ball of fur deserves the best, I have no doubt that all my kittens will bring a lot of happiness to their new families, it's up to me to make sure that they will have all the happiness they deserve too.

Before talking about adoption I ask for a phone call, I will not take any reservation by email or any other impersonal message. An adoption is above all a question of mutual trust, you are looking for a healthy baby and I want responsible and loving families for my babies. This exchange, much more pleasant and friendly, will allow us to get to know each other, to take stock of your search and I will be able to guide you according to your preferences, your lifestyle and your expectations. If following this conversation the feeling is passed in both directions, then we can consider to concretize the adoption of the baby who makes your heart beat.

Once babies are born, I post pictures and videos every day on my page Instagram  (I share the most content on this application). It is very important to see them grow, assert themselves, evolve and differentiate themselves before thinking about booking them. More than a dress, it's a full-fledged baby that will join you and that will normally share 15 to 20 years of your life, you must have a real crush on this little being and its character must be in line with your lifestyle.
When the babies have reached the reservation age (not before 5 or 6 weeks), we can proceed with the official formalities, namely the signature of a contract and the payment of the reservation deposit. However, if something happens to your kitten once the contract is signed, of course your deposit will be refunded in full.
Once these two things are done, the kitten is officially reserved. 

The kittens will be vaccinated, identified, dewormed and neutered before their departure, you will of course be kept informed of each stage of their life.

The kittens will be ready to leave the nest at the age of 13 weeks for France and 15 weeks for abroad. For foreign countries, we have to vaccinate the babies against rabies and wait 21 days after the injection before letting our little angels leave. It can happen that the departure is delayed if the kitten needs to stay a little longer with his Mum.

Kitten room

Babies won't leave home with empty paws. Indeed, they will leave with a complete and personalized kitten kit. You will find inside a set of toys, little sweets, a sleeping bag and a very soft blanket, this last one is very important because it was the privileged sleeping bag of your baby and all his family, it will be necessary to avoid washing it during the first 15 days so that your kitten finds there its familiar and reassuring smells. I will give you a small guide and all the papers of your baby and his parents. Finally, you will find in this kit your kitten's kibbles as well as several cans of food, enough to last a week. I select the favorite food of your baby, so you can make your choice.

On the day of departure, two solutions are available to you. If you are able to come and pick up your kitten, you will have to plan 1h30 to 2h on site with us. We will organize a small snack or an aperitif depending on your arrival time. This will allow us to exchange visually, you will be able to meet our large family and see where your baby has grown. But the main reason for this little time lapse is to allow your new companion to get used to you, to your voice and to your smell before the moment of the goodbyes... It is not insignificant, you have to keep in mind that this moment is complicated for the kitten, in a fraction of a second all his little world collapses and he loses all his bearings. This way of proceeding allows a smooth departure and helps the kitten to feel safe once with you, you are not a complete stranger anymore.
If you can't come, I can bring your baby to you, I will accompany him to your arms, wherever you are, but there is no way that my little ones will go by carrier.

Rates

The British cat, and the pedigree cat in general, is a cat that has a certain cost. His adoption must be thoughtful, it should not be done on a whim, neither for you, nor for the kitten. Besides the purchase which represents a consequent budget, the food, the maintenance, the unforeseen veterinary expenses, the various accessories and the guard if need be, are posts of expenditure which should not be neglected and it is necessary to be ready and able to assume them.

My babies are mainly for company and their prices are between 1800 and 2500 euros. The reservation deposit amounts to 500 euros and will of course be deducted from the price of the kitten. Please note that these deposits are non-refundable if you change your mind.

As previously mentioned, some of my kittens can be sold for breeding to professional and declared people (SIRET number required for France). I will take the time to know more about your cattery before giving you a baby, so it will take a few months, I know how complicated the life of a "breeding cat" can be in a bad cattery and I don't want to make a mistake.

Babies sold for breeding will leave the house with their PKD, blood type and coat tests. They will remain under observation until their 8th week, no reservation will be possible before this age. 
They will be able to leave us after 13 weeks in France and 15 weeks abroad.
Price from 3500 euros TTC depending on the characteristics of the kitten.

As mentioned before, I can bring your little treasure to you but of course this will entail an additional cost. Wherever you are in the world (or almost) I can travel and thus ensure a safe transport for your new kitten. Whether by car, train or plane, he will travel with me and will never be alone. Do not hesitate to contact me so that I can send you an estimate according to your location.

A little piece of me leaves with each baby, I never stop loving them when they leave home. For these reasons, I would be very grateful if you would send me regular news and photos or videos of your little wonders, it is always a moment of happiness for me to see them grow and flourish in their new life.
