Caring For Your New Kitten

The first weeks with your kitten are key for building good habits, bonding, and setting them up for a great life. With some planning, like feeding them well, gentle training, grooming, and regular vet visits, you can help your kitten grow into a happy, healthy friend.

Adoption Process

Our Guarantee

We have spent over 20 years caring for Russian Blues, and we promise that every kitten comes to you healthy, happy, well-cared for, and free of known genetic disorders. You can feel confident as you welcome your new family member home.

First Veterinary Visit

Timeline: Present your kitten to your veterinarian within 3 business days for a health check.
Guarantee: If your vet believes the kitten is unfit, have them contact us directly for consultation.
Note: We do not cover vet bills unless pre-approved and confirmed by our veterinary staff.
Tip: If you don't already have a veterinarian, look for one with a good reputation, fair pricing, and strong community references. Always ask for total costs up front.

Health Precautions

A kitten's immune system isn't fully developed until after their 12-week vaccination. Follow these precautions:

Never place your kitten on unsanitized floors, furniture, or vet exam tables.
Avoid exposing your kitten to unfamiliar animals or public pet areas like pet stores and grooming salons until vaccinations are complete.
Important: Keep your kitten inside its carrier in public spaces such as airports or veterinary waiting rooms — these areas can carry germs from many traveling animals.

Lifetime Support

We provide lifetime consultation on health, diet, training, grooming, or emergencies. If you don't have a vet, we can recommend trusted professionals. Our veterinary team is available for urgent consultation if your local vet cannot be reached.

Kitten Safety Net

Life can change: marriage, housing, finances, or health may affect your ability to keep a kitten.

If you are ever unable to care for your cat:

Contact us, and we will either provide a home here or help place your kitten in a safe, loving home.
We stay in touch with our kitten families to ensure none of our cats ever end up in shelters.

Diet & Nutrition

Recommended food: a quality kitten-formula food appropriate for growth (avoid excess fillers like corn and soy).
Supplements: keep your kitten on a joint and immune supplement (required for guarantee). Order before your kitten arrives.
Extra nutrition: we encourage adding fresh cooked chicken, bone broth, and vet-approved treats for a healthy diet.

Health Treatment Disclaimer

To protect your kitten's health, certain treatments are not covered under our guarantee:

FeLV (feline leukemia) vaccine before 1 year of age.
Heartworm prevention other than monthly topical or oral treatments.
Emergency 24-hour clinics (our experience has shown frequent misdiagnosis and overmedication).

Administering any of the above will void guarantees.
