All breeding ASH will be screened for congenital abnormalities such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Pedigrees will also be fully evaluated to prevent over hybridization with breeds such as the Persian, Exotic, and Burmese cat.
Kittens are raised in a home environment with dogs and will be well socialized to handling and common household encounters before being placed in their new home.
Kittens are kept until the age of 16 weeks which is not only optimal for their socialization but also necessary to fully determine pet or show quality status.
Kittens are healthy and guaranteed to be free of infectious disease at time of purchase. This includes feline leukemia virus negative (FeLV), feline infectious virus negative (FIV), and treated for common parasites. Kittens will be veterinary examined and have at least the first two sets of vaccinations before leaving the cattery.
Pet quality kittens will be sold with a spay/neuter clause and be registered with a not for breeding status. Registration papers and pedigree may be withheld at my discretion until proof of spay/neuter is provided. Spay/neuter status may vary with breeding or show quality kittens and will be determined at time of purchase.
I strongly support a no declaw position and kittens will be trained to scratch on appropriate surfaces before leaving the cattery. This does not guarantee they won't attempt to scratch a desirable object, however if provided proper outlets it is much less likely. I can help you find the right solutions for your new kitten.
I will stand behind any kitten/cat I place fully as a responsible breeder and strive to be a great steward to the standards and requirements set forth regarding the ASH breed by the CFA and TICA registries.
If a show quality kitten is desired I will assist and mentor as necessary to the best of my ability. New exhibitors are always welcome and are crucial to the survival of the cat showing world! Showing cats can be a fun activity for the entire family as well as for your ASH. It offers the opportunity to educate others on the unique traits of the ASH, a chance to travel, learn about other feline breeds and to forge new and lasting friendships with other cat lovers.
No guarantee of show wins can or will be provided. Success in the show ring relies on many factors in addition to owning a cat that meets or exceeds the breed standard.
