1 . Patches
Patches is a brown patched girl. She is 4 months old, but much like Star, she is a small girl. For more photos of Patches, click the photos below. Patches could be a show/breed cat or just the sweetest family pet ever.

These photos were taken when Patches was just 4-1/2 months old. She weighs 3.2 lbs. With the weight limits being added to the scoring criteria for the body in CFA, smaller size REALLY matters! Both Sara (mom) and Opie (dad) are small cats. Patches would help bring down size in any breeding program.

4 - "MO"
Mo is a flame point boy. He was born on 3/16. We are considering taking Mo into the show halls as a kitten now, but as an alter when he is 8 months old. He has great ears, long body, silky coat and beautiful blue eyes. 
We will have Mo at the CFA show in Glendale on Saturday, 8/24 if you want to see him in person and handle him. We would love to see you at the show.

3 - Jewel (full name is Curl Essence Jewel of the Nile. We call her Jewel.)
|
Jewel is living with Belle's two silver babies. They are close to the same age and we didn't want her to grow up without other kitties to interact with. Sometimes, these single lits are harder to socialize when they don't have other babies to interact with at this young age.
|
I had a hard time getting pictures of the babies in this Belle. They wouldn't hold still and if they did, they were looking away from the camera. Jewel is 4 wks old in these photos.

6 - Silver patched girl with Belle. Born 6/15.
I don't have names for Belle's 2 silver babies yet. The little girl is directly below. The boy is beneath that. The boy's color is much more dominate.... dark black with lots of silver. The little girl has got lots of light silver all over her face and marbling on her sides and back. She has just the faintest little cream on one toe which qualifies her as a silver "patched".

Colette's Babies...
Colette has 5 babies: 4 of them are available. She had 1 red girl, and 2 red boys. Of the 3 reds, 2 are basically twins except one is a girl and one is a boy. She also has 2 color points. Cosmos is the boy, the cream lynx point below. The girl CP is sold.
I call Rose (to the right) and Crimson Star (upper right) "the twins" They are almost identical twins. We're just starting to see some differences in their face, but it's so slight that we still have to double check to see which is the boy and which is the girl. Both are breed/show quality.

And lastly... Sophie's babies.
I wasn't going to post these photos because the lighting is so bad. The one on top of this little carpeted tunnel is the seal girl She's moving in the pic to the right. The one standing and holding onto the tunnel is the CP girl. The other CP is inside the tunnel.
|
She has 3 color points... a seal CP girl, a cream lynx CP girl and a cream lynx CP boy. These babies were born on 7/5.
I'll take some new pics this afternoon when I have more light in that room.

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.

Reserving a kitten from a future litter....
You can reserve a "kitten of your choice" with a "Reserved Kitten Sales Agreement". Basically, this sales agreement guarantees you a "pick of the litter" from an future litter. I ask for a very small deposit to confirm your intention when you return this reserved kitten sales agreement. After the babies are born and you have selected a specific kitten, I will replace this agreement with a sales agreement for the specific kitten of your choice at which time a full deposit is requested. We request a deposit of 50% of the purchase price of the kitten with you return a signed sales agreement for your new kitten. The balance of the purchase price + any other costs (i.e., spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, shipping fees, etc.) are due 15 days before delivery.
If you are interested in a Reserved Kitten Sales Agreement, please contact me at the email address below.

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.
