Russian Blue

Every once in a while kittens will be available from cattery Alyona.
My kittens will only move from the age of 14-16 weeks and exclusively to loving, permanent homes.
Don’t be scared by the amount of questions I have for you, as I just care a lot about where my kittens end up.
I’ll also answer any questions you might have!
An absolute condition is that kittens of my breeding are not to be let outside to roam freely.
If you even just consider letting your Russian Blue roam outside freely, do not enquire with me for a kitten!
Unless the owner is home often, I also prefer not to place kittens by themselves, which doesn’t mean the second cat should be a Russian Blue.
As cats are very social animals, people who intend to keep more than one cat are always considered before those who intend to keep only one.
I work with contracts that guarantee certain things for the owner as well as the cat. This contract is available for reading a good period before signing, even as all the available data on the parents of the litter.
Before the kitten can move you may visit it as often as you like, starting at age 3 weeks. These first 3 weeks are meant to give new moms a chance to come to their senses and get a hang of mothering. Of course you’re welcome to come meet her and her friends and family before the delivery!

Kittens will go to their new owners after they have received all necessary inoculations and deworming treatments. They will also be micro chipped. Next to the kitten’s passport and its official NRKV pedigree you will also receive copies of the parents’ most recent HCM- and PKD- test results and a CD with a slideshow of all the pictures I made of the kitten while still here. The kitten will have been declared healthy by a vet and be free of any parasites.
If at all possible I will come bring the kittens to their new homes so I can see the environment my baby will spend its life in.
Maybe I could even help the kitten through this transition and give some last-minute advice. To help the introduction along even more, all new owners will receive a package containing information and the nutrition and the litter the kittens are most accustomed to. Even though I prefer to feed my cats a raw diet, the kittens will also have learnt to eat kibble and canned and they will be familiar with different types of cat litter.
Kittens that are staying in Holland will also come with one month's free insurance with Petplan.
