Genetics
The dwarf gene in the munchkin cat is dominant, however ~ not all kittens in the same litter will get the dwarf gene and therefore not all kittens in the same litter will have the short legs. Short legged kittens are denoted as "Standard"
Napoleon/Minuet Kittens that do not receive the dwarf gene are long legged and denoted as "Non-standard" The long legged kittens are still fully registered as Minuet Cats with TICA. These Kittens have the same wonderful personalities as their more diminutive brothers and sisters but are sold at half the price.
If a Napoleon/Minuet kitten is born with long legs it looks similar to a doll faced Persian. The Napoleon will have the customary silky or plush coat of the Napoleon breed.
The curled ear gene of the Highlander is also dominant, however ~not all kittens in a litter will get the curled ear gene and therefore not all kittens in the same litter will have curled ears.
The Short Tail gene is also a dominant gene, however ~ not all kittens in the same Highlander litter will get the Natural Short tailed gene.
Pointed Kittens are born all white and do not show what color their points will be until they are approximately 6-8 weeks old. An all white kitten that stays all white can only be produced by having one or more all white parents.
I know it can be very confusing, therefore I pay careful attention to the details listed next to each kitten. All kittens listed will have the correct information next to them (unless the gender fairies visit! ~ sometimes that little "girl" kitten turns out to be a BOY kitten as they mature and we can "see things more clearly.) You, as the potential buyer are fully informed as to weather or not the kitten that you are viewing has the short legs and/or curled ears or a short tail, as well as what breed you are viewing.
Napoleon Standard= short legs, rounded head, large eyes, baby doll face
Non Standard = long legs
Highlander = Long legs, curled ears, natural short tail (sometimes poly-toed)
Non Standard Highlander = straight ears, or long tail or both.
Reserving a Kitten =A $300.00 reservation fee is required to reserve a cat or kitten
Reserved = A Forever Kittens lover has chosen the kitten or cat of their dreams and has placed the required non-refundable reservation fee upon that kitten, and reservation fee has been received by Forever Kittens Cattery. That kitten will not be available to any one else. Non-Refundable Reservation fee is applied towards total cost of cat or kitten.
Reservation Fee The $300 reservation fee *helps to defray first vet visit costs, this includes: A wellness exam by a state licensed veterinarian, deworming, and first kitten shots.
Spay/neuter contract must be signed before pet kitten will be sold.
Kittens will have to be paid in full by 11 weeks of age (before shipping). Kittens will be shipped by 12 to 14 weeks of age. $20.00 Discount* ~ if you are one of the rare few that have read this very important information page, this is your $20.00 discount! Just mention it to me:) * $20.00 discount does not count if you mention it after you have paid in full or put down a deposit on the kitten already. Do your research first before purchasing a pet for your family.
Purchase Price The purchase price of any Cat/Kitten helps to defray upkeep of the animal while it is still in our care. This includes, litter, supplements, vitamins, kitten food, toys, crate for travel of each individual kitten, veterinary exams for both mother and kittens, shots, deworming and grooming.
Any monies applied to purchase price of a reserved kitten or cat are non-refundable. Only replacement kitten(s) will be offered when available. Kittens/Cats that are listed as ours are not considered available, kittens/cats that are reserved for someone else are not considered available.
If you reserve a kitten and kitten is found to be "defective" during his or her vet check, monies may be transferred to another kitten of your choice.
Any person that is interested in a kitten will need to go over my pet or breeder agreement, you will need to email or call me and we will go over the next steps of adopting your new family member. In the delicate process of interviewing potential owners, I feel it is best to talk person to person, to get to know each person and if they are good candidate for a Forever Kitten.
Kitten Travel Kittens will be able travel to their new home between 12 - 14 weeks of age. Kittens can not travel any younger in order to ensure their continued good health.
USA It is greatly preferred that you pick up your new pet in person in order to provide you the opportunity meet the kitten in person before taking him or her home. Be sure to bring something from home that smells like any other pets you have so that kitty has time to get used to the new smells he or she will encounter in the new environment. Please contact us in regards to pick-up and delivery of your new pet.
International International shipping is no longer offered. We can put you in touch with a breeder that does do international shipping.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS It has come to our attention that some people are just not comfortable with their baby traveling with a shipper or all alone on a plane. As per popular request, we now offer you the option to have your kitten hand delivered to your door by Forever Kittens Cattery. We will book a flight with your kitten(s) as carry on and the kitten will ride with myself in cabin under my seat. If you choose to utilize this option, I will be using homeopathic remedies that I have used with much success in the past to alleviate any stress your kitten may have experienced during his or her travels. These remedies may include: bach flower remedies, aromatic oils and pet message. Of course your kitten will also be accompanied by a friendly, loving face from home as well as a toy, a blanket and all the food and water he or she could want. Especially the water part! Very important. The kitten also travels with a litter box and an airline approved carrier. Your kitten will be hand delivered to your door safe and happy. This option is offered for flight only. Kitten will come with the above mentioned kitten information packet via email, as well as a personal carrier, and food and water dish. In addition this option again provides you the opportunity to meet your kitten in person before taking him or her home to a new environment.
TRAVEL COSTS: All travel costs for your new pet are your responsibility, including the Health certificate, carrier, veterinarian exam and gasoline. *Where applicable* The average cost of kitten Travel is $300.00.
