By the way it is not correct that a longer or darker fur means certain characteristics. All of these 5 subbreeds show their close attachments to humans and may all fall in one litter. This rumor has only been started by magazines to fill their pages and is an old wives' tale just like the saying spring kittens are stronger. Of course each kitten shows loving features of its own and has its very own character, but coat or being a Siamese does not have anything to do with it, as all belong to the same family - the oriental breed /cats.
Please reserve in time!
If you are interested in our kittens, please study the boxes below, as they will answer many
of your questions and introduce our cattery philosophy.
Two kittens are twice the joy, but not twice the trouble!
Orientals are active cats, that miss their favourite person. This is why people working out of the house all day long should always take two kittens, for them to enjoy each others company. Two kittens mean twice the joy, but not twice the trouble.
Rearing
Until our kittens are 12 weeks old , they are raised in our living-room receiving lots of love and care. Then they are allowed to move around the house freely like all our other cats. At a minimum age of 12 weeks, they are allowed to move into their new home, on the provisor they are independent enough to leave their family. Some youngsters prefer to still suck on mommy when they are 16 weeks old. The longer they remain with mommy, the easier it is for them to accept new surroundings.
For our kittens we are looking for permanent loving homes with lots of time for playing and loving!
Visits and Pickup
Written by Administrator
We strive to raise active, playful, loving, pert, and, above all healthy kittens and to have them ready for pick-up as arranged. For this reason conscientious breeders avoid too many visitors, resp. do not allow visitors before the kittens have had their first vaccination, which normally takes place, when they are 8 weeks old. Our cuddlers dispose of a good immune system, but at the tender baby age a cold of a visitor may suffice and the second vaccination resp., the soooooo longed for pick-up will be delayed. That's why prospective owners should not visit catteries, if they have pets with contagious diseases at home, have just taken up a new animal or have just been at another cattery. Our sweethearts and cat family (and we) will welcome you with open paws, meows and purrs. By the way the wisdom to take the first kitten which comes to you, does not apply to our animals, as principally all of our cuties will come to you.
Vaccinations and pickup
Written by Administrator
Vaccinations
Our sweethearts receive two booster shots against FPL, cat flu and rabies, are dewormed four times and chipped. If desired we will vaccinate them against leukemia. Their parents are additionally vaccinated against leukemia and FIP. We ususally give our babies away as pets, only in special cases for breeding (but please not for breeding Thais) and exhibiting.
Our kittens are ready for pickup after their last vaccination. Not sooner! Because in the 8.-12. week of life the kittens learn socialising just like humans in kindergarden, e.g. sneaking up, hunting, playing with other cats. Never take a cat younger than 13 weeks in your house. Your kitten hast the right to grow up peacefully with its family. It will be yours for another 18 years. Hands off ads, advertising kittens under 13 weeks. These are black market dealers, eager for easy money. The kittens and their parents suffer the consequences as corresponding cutbacks in food, health, environment are made. See our reports in the cat corner.
Male or female cat
Written by Administrator
A female cat cannot be compared to a female dog. Just like a tom cannot be compared to a male dog. The first ones are loners while a dog raises its puppieswith the pack. A queen does this by herself. Not only does she provide daily for her kittens, but she also passes down all her knowledge in socialising and hunting. Her experience with humans, litter-boxes, vacuum-cleaners etc. She does this with utmost skill, distinct self-will and resourcefulness. Sterilisation does not change this. The task of a tom is to breed kittens in his territory. This is his only interest, if he is not neutered. Castration changes his way of life. Other things become more important like TLC, playing and his human. Often toms meet for tom meetings, which also happens in households where there are several neuters. Already in their first weeks of life, one can see that female kittens are the better hunters. While at that time they prefer to watch and wait, some of them are already real personalities when 3-4 months of age.
Whether your first cat is male or female does not matter. But it is advisable that the second cat will be from the opposite sex. By the way it is always a female who has the say. Nothing wrong with taking two males, too but two ladies might mean trouble in the long run, as only one of them will rule.
Neutering is a must. An unneutered male is a loner and aggressive. The siring only takes seconds and ends with the queen turning around and soundly smacking the male. The life of an unneutered male is not as wonderful, as some people imagine.
An unneutered female will soon get an uterine infection, and giving her the pill will make her aggressive as well.
Whether the animals will like each other depends mainly on the future owner. If he prefers the newcomer trouble cannot be prevented. A 18 year-old female may take to the new kitten just like two senior males accept a male kitten. But the fact remains that a tom is the softer of the two. A lady can also be a cuddler but with a portion of self-will. Of course, each animal has its very own characteristic, and no other breed beats the orientals.
Bargains, special offers

Bargains
you are not going to find here, as all our purrers are raised in an appropriate environment and receive lots of tender loving care. Vaccinations, food, litter and veterinary costs have their price, the same goes for cat furniture and respective paraphernalia. We strive to breed healthy animals with no defects and are here for our neuters. If necessary, we will get up in the middle of the night for feeding. Of course, each of our animals has its own pedigree, the guarantee for the new owner to receive a loving cat that was kept just like its parents in an appropriate environment and whose health, welfare and happiness has been dear to us.
John Ruskin, an English social reformer (1819-1900) once said:
Hardly anything in this world exists, that not someone can do a little worse and sell a little cheaper - and people looking just at the price will be perfect subjects for such manipulations.
It is unwise, to pay too much, but it is even worse to pay not enough. If they pay too much they lose a little bit more money, that's all. But if they pay not enough, they sometimes stand to lose everything, as the purchased object cannot fulfil the task it was meant to do.
The principle of economy does not permit to receive more value for less money.
If you accept the lowest offer, you must also count in some money for the risk that you are taking. But if you do that, you have enough money to pay for something better.
Hands off ads, which offer kittens younder than 12 weeks of age. These are black market dealers who are eager to make fast money. To sell cheaply strong cutbacks in raising kittens and their parents are made. Sometimes they are imports from east countries, where animals are kept in cages, raise their kittens there and as soon as the kittens are a few weeks of age their mother is bred again.
