Your Kitten's First 12 Weeks

The first twelve weeks of a kitten's life are full of growth and development. At Lil Darlynn Cattery, we strive to make these first twelve weeks a safe, healthy, and happy time for our kittens as possible. So much of their emotional and physical development during this critical time will follow them throughout their lifetime.

​During the first four weeks of a baby kitten's life at the Cattery, the babies and their mother are kept in a separate Nursery away from the other cats and older kittens of the cattery. They learn to walk and get their feet in this nursery. They then start potty training and start weaning, and when we feel they have accomplished the potty training pretty well and the weaning process, usually at the end of the six-week period, they are slowly introduced to our cats and the rest of our home.

The kittens are all raised underfoot and are playing and climbing. The kittens are introduced to our Pomeranian dogs, and they seem to always come to cuddle with the dogs. They also start to have trips to my office for socialization before they are old enough to leave.

Our Adoptive Families will testify to our kitten's keen intelligence. We believe our babies are so smart that we encourage our parents to try toilet training their babies. Our babies also have a funny fascination with water, or maybe we should say ... playing in the water.

One common thread in conversations with our adoptive parents is that our kittens are very fearless and, of course, love children.

Available Kittens

AS MY KITTENS BECOME AVAILABLE, THEY ARE FIRST OFFERED TO THE "PRIORITY LIST" WHO HAVE PAID ADVANCED DEPOSITS FOR FIRST PICK.

THEN, IF STILL AVAILABLE, THE PICTURES WILL BE POSTED HERE ON MY AVAILABLE PAGE. All kittens will be picked up or seen by the owner as stated on their Florida health certificate. No kitten will be shipped in cargo.....no exceptions!

The owner will be flying to the USA to judge a TICA show and will take them back to her country.

So glad they can go in the plane under the seat with her. I DO NOT ship cargo.
