Steve McCurl...Stevie is a beautiful silver tabby pet quality kitten. We originally held Stevie for breed/show. He's got great ears, eyes, coat, etc.... everything except profile. Well, judges care about profile. "Profile" is the curvature (or lack thereof) from the top of the nose to the forehead. A good show quality cat should have sort of an "S" curvature.... Stevie's profile doesn't have enough curvature. On the flip side, he's got more personality than you could ever ask for.

Bandit & Opie babies...Bandit is a seal and white bicolor. Opie is a chocolate smoke. Bandit gave us 2 little girls on 1/27/19... one is a chocolate just like dad. The other is a colorpoint.

Priscilla & Po babies....Born 2/5/19. Priscilla gave us 4 little babies... one red and 3 color points.

We haven't look for sexes on these yet... there's a 50:50 chance whatever we said right now would be wrong anyway. They are just too small. We have noticed, however, that the 2 colorpoints in the center are a little darker than the one in the back right. In the past, these turned out to be seal lynx points like Handy (the boy on our home page banner). The lighter one will probably end up a chocolate point.

I had trouble deciding which was the least bad picture of these two girls. This one won. I have them in a little popup gazebo where mom can feel comfortable, but it's so dark in there that I had to bring them out on this little sheet. (I keep an old crib sheet rolled in the doorway so they won't crawl out.) They weren't happy being outside their little home... plus, mom keeps them soaked with her constant licking. We'll get better pictures in a week or so when they are a little bigger. They are just opening their eyes.
Colette and Opie babiesBorn 2/7/19, Colette gave us a little red silver (just like her), a brown patched (which will be a girl for sure), and a color point.

To see photos of Autumn & Kingsley, click on the New Litters link to the right. I made individual pages for Bandit & Opie, Colette & Opie, and Priscilla & Po with pictures of kittens from previous litters that are the same colors as these new babies so you can get an idea of what to expect these new babies to look like when they are older. Either click on their pages from the dropdown menu at the top of this page or on the photo of the kittens on this page.

Other Litters... |
We are still waiting for Autumn... she's a big as a football and getting bigger by the day, but so far no babies. We are also expecting kittens from Hope mid March.

Socializing our kittens. |
Over the past 16 years, we've identified what we can do for our new kittens to develop those great personalities you read about on our testimonial page. Part is the breed, but it goes farther than that. It's the special handling and care they get from use from birth to when they go to their new homes.

Our new babies are kept in the nursery with mom until they are about 6 weeks old. They will start eating solid food at 4-5 weeks old By the time they are about 8 weeks old, they are still nursing, but they are also eating solid food and using the litter box. Around this time, we bring them and the moms into the master bedroom to socializing them to humans. We close them in with us so not only does their world get bigger, but they get used to living with the humans. We have a couple large cages in the bedroom so we usually put them up at nights with mom at first so we can sleep without worrying about the babies getting hurt while we're sleeping. This is when we start really getting a good picture of their personalities, i.e., who's dominate, who needs more reinforcement and encouragement.... which kittens are the play-mysters, and which are the snugglers. This is a very important time in their growth. We don't want to push them into a scary world before they are ready for it. Plus, we need to be sure they won't be afraid of the other adult cats. Remember, until then, they've been in a very protected room in a cage (actually 2-48" cages connected to make a long run) with their mom. They see us and the adult cats all the time, and we're handling them all the time, but they have been completely protected. Once we let them into the bedroom, we only allow certain cats into the room with them... only the quieter, more gentle cats that mom won't object to being around her babies. The moms are still VERY PROTECTIVE of their family. If we have more than one litter loose in the room, we may have to alternate moms. Some of the moms will share parenting responsibilities. Some won't. This is where we "socialize" them to humans, Eventually, we kick mom out of the room so the babies identify us with their source of attention, play, food, etc. We're creating that special bond to humans that our new Curl owners expect from our kittens.. Some with do this to some extent anyway, but not all. Without this special time with us, and only us, you'll still end up with those few kittens that are more independent and not that social Curl personality. This is not a casual thing for us. We are very focused on which cats need to drawn out of their shells and the attention they need from us to create those special personalities. . This last month with us is SOO SOO critical to being able to be sure that every kitten we place in a new home becomes that "special loving pet" people are looking or in Curls. (BTW, I don't know of any other breeders that do this to the extent that we do.... and it shows.)
I usually create a separate a page for each litter where I can include short descriptions of their personalities and include some videos. You can go directly to the individual pages from the navigational bar at the top of the page or from the links on this page to see more photos of the kittens. If you are interested in specific kittens and need more information to decide which would be the best fit for your home, please email me at Psalm0512@yahoo.com or call on one of the phone numbers shown below. We can talk and I can take more pictures and/or videos to help you with your decision.
We require a 50% deposit (paid through Paypal) to hold a kitten. Once the kitten is contracted, we will move all information on your kitten to a "kittens sold" page so the you can watch his/her development photos and videos. This avoids the confusion as to which kittens are available.

Considering adding an American Curl to your family? I found this website about American Curls. You might find it interesting. I thought it was as accurate as any of the websites about our breed. http://www.metaphoricalplatypus.com/articles/animals/cats/cat-breeds/american-curl-cat-breed-profile. (This is not a link to the page. You will have to copy/paste the URL into your web browser.)

"We are asked all the time for the price of our kittens. I don't publish that on this website because we don't feel it's right to encourage people to "price shop" for their next family member... and that's what our babies are. We state that our kittens become "part of our family before they become part of yours" because that's the absolute truth. We treat them like part of the family and we expect their new owners to do the same. In all our years of breeding this unique breed, we've found that to be absolutely true. You've probably already done your research on the breed. One of the better sites to research that talks about the breed accurately and will give you an expectation of what you can expect to pay for a purebred American Curl is:
http://www.metaphoricalplatypus.com/articles/animals/cats/cat-breeds/american-curl-cat-breed-profile.
Here's what it says: "Adopting an American Curl Kitten or Cat: Prices for American Curl kittens are quite variable. Purebred American Curls cost approximately $1,000-$2,000 or more when obtained from legitimate breeders, with pet quality kittens at the lower end of the price spectrum and show quality at the upper end. Some pet quality American Curls actually have completely straight ears, but still have the appealing Curl personality, body style, and coat type."

Basic Kitten Care...

I spend a lot of time telling my new kitten owners what food, litter, etc they should plan on when they have one of our babies. I thought it might just be easier to create a whole page with products and care information. Even if you don't have one of our babies, you might find this information helpful.

We believe we provide the best American Curl pets available
based on the compliments we receive from our new Curl owners.

We had one new owner call us on her cell phone on her way home from the airport to tell us she couldn't believe that her new American Curl kitten was kissing her daughter's nose and laying on a small towel on her daughter's lap in the car on the way home after a coast to coast flight. Other comments from new owners tell us our babies are sleeping on their pillow next to them.... their first night in their new homes. For personal testimonials from owners of our babies, please enjoy some of the humorous comments and cute photos from the new owners of our kitties on our Testimonial Page.

We believe this is a result of the love and attention they get from us before they find their new homes...
Our kitties love, love, love us... they love their new owners too.
Below is a little slide show of one of the kitties that went to Hong Kong. She's snuggling in with Mike. Who gets to snuggle with the people at night is like taking a number at the DMV. This so perfectly depicts our relationship with our kitties, we decided to leave it up. You HAVE to smile at the last picture.
