Somalis make wonderful
pets as they are intelligent, playful companions who love human
company. The boys, particularly, love fuss and cuddles and keeping
your knee warm. Girls love to keep you company around the house
but can be more independent. They are also fun to show as most revel
in the attention they receive. We would be delighted to sell you a
kitten to show, but are equally delighted to sell you a wonderful
pet. A permanent loving home is our main concern.
Our kittens are
born in a specially made kittening box in our bedroom where the
queen can have privacy from other cats and we can keep an eye on
proceedings. When they are regularly using the litter tray in their
pen they are given the free run of the bedroom, then landing and
when we feel they are ready we gradually integrate them with our
older cats downstairs. By the time they are ready to go to new homes
they should be well socialised and handled, confident and bold.
Many of our kittens new
owners contact us to let us know how they have settled in and they
tell us that whilst the journey may have been rather noisy, the home
coming was fine. Having taken a quick look round, located food,
water and litter trays they are instantly at home. Just what we like
to hear!
According to GCCF regulations they can go to their new homes at 13
weeks of age by which time they will be registered, weaned, litter
trained, wormed and inoculated against feline enteritis and flu. We
do not inoculate against leukaemia as we believe it is too much
vaccine to put into little bodies at one time. It is perfectly safe
(and advisable) to inoculate against this at any age after purchase
and we start the course for kittens we are keeping a week after
finishing their other vaccinations.
All our kittens go to
their new homes with a Baranchri kitten pack (Litter, food, toys, a
set of "instructions"), GCCF registration
papers, a 5 generation pedigree certificate, inoculation
certificate, 4 weeks free insurance from Petplan and Royal Canin
food vouchers.
Unless sold as a stud
cat all male kittens are
registered on the inactive register and must be neutered as soon as
recommended by your vet.
Female Somali kittens may be bred from, but if you do not want kittens
they should also be neutered as soon as recommended by your veterinarian.
We are always happy
to advise new owners of the suitability of their kitten for showing
and are always available for follow up advice should this be
required.
Our current price for
pet/show Somali male kittens kittens is £350. We charge £400 for
female kittens. We do not sell male cats for breeding.
The price reflects
the fact that we do not inoculate against Leukaemia.
If you think you would like to adopt
one of our kittens now or at some time
in the future please do not
hesitate to
contact us for a chat. |
