The Last Dance
Litter
We decided to retire our first girl, Ms. Skadi, and allow her a life
of leisure. However, at the same time, we were building a house, so we weren’t
as attentive to her cycles as we should have been. Without our permission, she
and Bozi took their Last Dance around the dance floor. We heard their dance
tune in the still of the night and realized that she had other plans.
Knowing the delivery date, we made a decision to have her kittens
delivered c-section and have her spayed at the same time – thus minimizing the
trauma to her body, and hopefully allowing all of the kittens a better chance at
life.
Up until about an hour before we walked out the door to go to the
vet’s office, Ms. Skadi was sashaying around, swishing her lovely white tail as
if to say, “Aren’t I beautiful?” But during that last hour, it was as if the
light bulb came on, and she settled into delivery mode. How could she have
known that her babies were to be delivered at 10 a.m. on August 31st?
I don’t know, but the timing was perfect.
Dr. Earl came out with the amazing Last Dance Litter who are all
learning the latest dance steps!

Adopting a Kitten
These babies are brought into
the world by no choice of their own, so it is my responsibility as a breeder to
do my best by them to find a home where they will have the best care and love
possible, forever and ever. It is also important, however, to try to find the
right match for a potential adoptive family, too. If you are looking for a
quiet, lap cat for example, I would be doing you and the kitten a disservice by
providing you with a high energy alpha cat! On the other hand, if you have
children who are looking for an indoor-only play mate, that type of cat would be
a great fit! So, if you are interested in possibly adopting one of my babies, I
ask that you complete a Kitten Questionnaire. If any of the questions offend
you, we apologize, but we will not place one of our kittens before we know more
about where they are going and to whom. Possible
kitten colors include brown tabby (mackerel or classic) and silver tabby
(mackerel or classic) with and without white, and solid white, and sometime
(rarely) some blues!
If I don’t have what fits you right
now, I will gladly put you on my list to see if another kitten from an upcoming
litter might be just the one for you. Please email me after you have
completed the Questionnaire to let me know of your interest:
wegiegirl@sassafraskat.com
SassafrasKat kittens are
hand-raised, underfoot, and go only to approved homes willing to sign a
contract stating principally that:
1)
The cat must never be
declawed, and
2)
The cat must never be
allowed outside without close supervision.
All of our cats are
registered with
TICA and
CFA.
We
provide a written health guarantee for known congenital and hereditary defects,
age appropriate vaccinations ( feline upper respiratory complex and leukemia), and pedigree. We maintain a closed cattery and all
adults have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. White kittens come with a BAER
test of their hearing.
Cost:
Our pet kitten prices start at $700 plus shipping
costs, if applicable. Should you decide to fly your baby, your expenses would
include airfare & insurance, airline required health certificate and shipping
carrier. We require a non-refundable deposit of $200.00 to hold a kitten until
it is ready to leave at 16 weeks old. All remaining moneys due must be
received at least two weeks prior to placement unless prior arrangements are
made.
Age:
Kittens will not be allowed to go home until they are 16 weeks of age, no
exceptions.
Collecting your Baby:
My preference is for you to pick up your baby in person so I can meet you face
to face! I understand that sometimes that is not practical, so we can arrange
to fly your baby to you at your expense. Be aware that there are certain times
of the year that are detrimental to flying babies across the world because of
temperatures. We do ship both domestically and internationally.
Availability:
Please understand that all kittens
are available unless marked otherwise. Once we receive a deposit, we will
change their status on our website to reflect that they have been Reserved.
Payment in full will be designated by Sold. All kittens are
sold as pets, but some kittens hold the promise of developing into a quality of
cat good enough to breed. These kittens are listed as On Hold,
and may become available in the future. If you are interested in a
particular kitten, but they are not available, please contact me anyway.
Sometimes the best laid plans fall through, and the kitten becomes available.
