Kittens For Adoption
November 5, 2011
Kittens are running around here at Sweet Afton. We had a slow start to our year because of a change in "mancat" leadership. Our new male, Cooper, has finally settled in and all the girls appear to be "OK" with him now. There are 14 little kittens, from Aspen,Sonora and Sierra, running around and discovering their new world. Kittens are so much fun! Our first litter of the year from Mariah has left us but one of her kittens stayed behind to become one of our future mamma cats. She is a Seal Mitted named Porsche. Jewel, Cheyenne and Mercedes are still eligible to become pregnant this year. We also have two new female kittens that will be added to our breeding program next year. They are a Blue Mitted and a Seal Bicolor from Sierras current litter. We are still working on names for them. Many of the current kittens have been reserved, but a few are still left. They are patiently waiting and wondering who will choose them to be a part of a loving family.
We are planing to make some changes to our website in 2011. All of our current breeders will be added and the retired breeders will be taken off the site. There are about 2000 past email messages we need to go back through to find stories and pictures from our past adoptive families. Approximately 150 kittens, in 10 states, have been adopted out since we began our cattery in the fall of 2004. We always strive to improve our facility. The ventilation system that was installed has greatly improved the presence of dust and odor from the litter pan areas. Separated breeding and birthing areas are now in place. Cleanliness and comfortable resting areas are a priority for our fuzzy ones.
Interested in adopting a Ragdoll for your family? We are getting a great response from our Colorado cat families and our normal waiting list is standing room only. A $100 deposit will hold a kitten and also determine where you are placed on our waiting list. All kittens are ready to move in with their new families 12 weeks after their birth date. We may also have an older kitten or ready to be retired breeder available from time to time. Shipping is an option; contact us for details. Airline availability and pricing can vary greatly for many reasons.
Meanwhile, check out our kitten pictures. I generally email available pictures out as needed. Please call (864) 884-3743, (719) 355-9773 or e-mail us if you would like more information. We have additional pictures that can be sent immediately. Adding a Ragdoll to your family is a great decision and we can help you accomplish bringing a Raggie into your home.
Thanks for checking us out!
