Because it's getting so hard to secure spay/neuter appointments at 10-12 weeks of age,
we have decided to offer special consideration to kitten buyers who want to take their kittens home with them at 10-12 weeks of age.

Colette and Handy. (Full names are Collete de la Curl and Curl Essence The Right Hand of the Lord... or just 'Handy'). Colette gave us 2 pretty little red boys on 7/23. Colette is a gorgeous red silver... mostly silver but with this light red color to make her look more marbled than red. Colette is another girl who has great ears and has always passed those ears on to her babies. Colette's babies will be ready to go to their new homes the first week of November.
Silver Belle and 'Glory' (full name is In Light of His Glory. We call him just "Glory"). Belle's 3 babies were born on 7/26. Belle is a silver patched tabby. She has just a faint spot of cream which makes her a red patched, but unless you're looking for it, you would never notice it. Glory is a red and white bicolor. Belle's babies are: Lucas, a black & white boy, Lance, a seal and white bicolor boy, and Katrina a seal and white bicolor girl. Lance is SOLD. Belle has crazy good ears and has always, ALWAYS passed on those nicely curled ears to her babies. Click any photo below or buttons to see more photos of each of Belle's babies.
Shelly & Timmy (full name Curl Essence Help in Time of Need, or just "Timmy"). Babies born 8/5. Shelly is a blue lynx point. Timmy is a red silver. Shelly had 2 CP girls and 1 chocolate boy. Shelly's family convinced us that they needed more room to romp and play so when we brought Belle and her fam into the bedroom, Shelly and her crew graduated to the 8ft run in the nursery. They are thrilled with the new space.

Brittany and Handy. Brittany had 4 little color point babies on 8/24... 3 girls and 1 boy. Brittany is such a great mom. We've opened up the area for them to walk around and wrestle with each other. I replaced their "birthing kennel" with a small fabric house that's open on 3 sides. Mom likes to lay up above the kittens on one of the carpeted shelves where she can keep an eye on everything below so they can play by themselves. But at the slightest whimper, she jumps down to take care of her new fam.

Socializing our kittens. |
Over the past 20+ 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 room we call "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 eating solid food and using the litter box. We bring the babies and their mom into the master bedroom between 5-6 weeks of age to socialize them to humans. We close them in with us so not only does their world get bigger, but they get used to living with their humans. We have a large enclosed playpen in the bedroom for them to strengthen their legs and muscles without danger of getting hurt. (Keep in mind, they are still just learning about gravity at this age). We keep them in the play area for a couple of days while where we can watch them to make sure they won't get hurt once we let loose into the bedroom & bathroom. 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 an 8' long cage with different levels of carpeted condos and platforms to strengthen their legs and balance. We've learned over our 20+ years of raising Curl kittens to monitor every step in their growth so they don't overestimate their abilities and hurt themselves. Once we bring them into the bedroom with us, 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 babies. 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 will do this to some extent anyway, but not all. Without this special time with us, and only us, you'll could still end up with those few kittens that are more independent and don't have that special, social Curl personality our kittens are known for. 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 SO-O SO-O-O critical to being able to guarantee that every kitten we place in a new home becomes that "special loving pet" people are looking or in our Curls. (BTW, I don't know of any other breeders that do this to the extent that we do.... and it shows.)
I create a separate a page for each American Curl kitten at around 2-3 weeks of age. This is where I can add more individual photos, videos and short descriptions of their personalities. You can go directly to the individual pages from the menu bar or from the links on this page. 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 my phone shown below. We can talk and I can take more pictures and/or videos to help you with your decision.

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. Click the link below to go to the Basic Kitten Care page.
We believe we provide the best American Curl pets available
based on the compliments we receive from our new family of 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.
