Waiting for Kittens

Once I've received your application form I will email back to acknowledge it, and to discuss any points needed.

When a litter is born, I will wait until they are about 10 days old to be certain of their sex. I generally plan to keep two does and two bucks myself. Once I know how many I have of each sex I will contact each person on the waiting list in turn to make sure they haven't found their babies elsewhere. This may take a couple of weeks as not everyone checks their emails regularly, or replies when they do. When the babies are all spoken for I contact anyone who is still left over on the list to let them know, and to check if they're still happy to keep waiting.

I'm usually not sure which ones I'll be keeping until they're about four weeks old. Also if there are a lot of a similar colours it helps if the kittens can each be paired with a different colour for homing, so there's a bit of juggling there. Once I know which I'm keeping I work down the list asking each person if they have a preference on which of the remaining kittens they would like.

If you are on my list and see that I have a new litter, it's worth getting in touch just to make sure I have your latest contact details and know that you're still interested. If I've not got in touch for a while, please feel free to check in as I suffer from brain fade and do make stoopid mistakes fairly often - I assure you it's nothing personal, just idiocy at work.
