Payments received after scheduled fly date are not accepted.
If you still willing to pay and take the kitten the late fee plus extra changes will be applied to the amount (such as doctor's visit and additional vaccinations fees).
2. We using Airlines Pet Cargo services for the kitten shipments.
In some areas, like New Mexico this service unavailable and we might use other airlines.
Shipping price may vary from airline to airline. This payment also need to be received before scheduled flying date.
3. Flying schedule will be mailed to you few days before kitten fly date (reservation at most airlines needs to be done 24 hours prior fly)
as well as pickup location and air company phone numbers. You will be able to choose from some flying times before and date if they are available.
You also can contact airline directly to see what flights are available from Denver(DEN) to destination airport.

Step 4: What to expect after
1. You will receive vaccination record by mail or e-mail.
We usually doing the first round of FCRPV vaccinations and you will need to do another round within 4 weeks from date of first vaccination.
2. If the kitten was sold as PET you will need to spray/neuter him/her at age 7 month or later.
After this procedure, please mail us the proof from the vet and we will send you registration papers for the kitten (blue slip - we registered in TICA cat organization).
If kitten sold as show or breeding you will receive registration papers from the TICA by email.
3. It takes about 2 day to 2 weeks for kitten to adjust to a new home.
Be patient and try to give him/her as much time as needed, but also try to communicate with him/her as much as possible.
4. It is a good idea to put him/her first at some place that you can close when you are not at home for the first days, kittens can find very tiny places in house,
that you not aware of, and hide there sleeping for hours.
5. Kittens usually are not recognizing their names at that age, you can start calling her/his (new) name as soon as possible and
it could take about couple weeks or even month to kitten to recognize it.
If there is other pets or cats in the house, it might take longer then usual.
6. Most kittens become social and start to came out and not hide more often after 2-3 days.
For some it could took little longer. Also most likely if you keeping him/her in the bedroom they will come to sleep with you at night.
Each kitten has different personality and cattery can't really predict how kitten will behave in a new home.
We guarantee that our kittens will be social, will have very good stable nervous system.
It is a lot depends on your home environment and many other factors.
The best prediction that we can give is that kitten will have same personality as his/her parents.
7. Kitten may not eat for first day or even two, or you will not seen him/her eating.
Most likely kitten will eat when you are sleeping. You can check the litter box to be sure if she/he is eating and drinking.
If you don't see kitten drinking water for more then 2 days and her/his litter box is empty, please consider to take him/her to the vet.
He/She might not eat little longer.
8. If you see any unusual unhealthy conditions to the kitten after fly, like sneezing, eye or nose discharge,
please first contact cattery and wait about 2 days before going to the doctor. K
kittens can get a flu on a flight and it might be caused by stress during the flight.
If symptoms are not over within 2-3 days, please go to the vet.
9. Kitten might like the food that he/she ate at the cattery, we are feeding the kittens Royal Canin Kitten (4-8 month) and Royal Canin Indoor.
They might like Indoor even more then kitten's one.
10. It is very important to maintain good diet for a cat. Actually it is most important thing in cat health. Please, buy only premium dry food.
If you not sure about specific brand you can contact the cattery for advise.
Please do not buy any food at general supermarkets like King Soopers , Wallmart, Target etc., they don't carry premium brands.
Check you closest pet specializing store.
11. We almost never giving kittens canned food, it is not a good source of nutrition for the kittens. You can give it as a snack.
12. Here the list of food you could give to the kitten or cat together with dry food: rare beef meet, cooked chicken without bones, rare eggs yellows,
5% half and half, canned tuna in water. Cats might like other strange things, you can always try.
They most likely will not like fruits, vegetables, pork and other fatty meet. They might like milk and cooked seafood, maybe bacon or pastrami.
Fish is not good food for cats.
13. Some kittens not like anything except dry food and it is ok to feed the cat only dry food.
14. We never limit cat on food, cat should always have access to the water and dry food.
