Silver F4 female needs an experienced home. She is a bit more wild than a typical
F4. Came here as a young adult, for my program but has never really settled in. May
do better in a small in-home breeding program or in a mellow pet home experienced
with early generation hybrids or Servals. Inquire if you have the knowledge, experience
and you're up for a challenge. I'm not posting price on this one, but it is very a
"reasonable" nominal adoption fee to cover check up and spay before leaving. OR I
will work out easy "breeder terms" for the breeding rights to the right person/program.
Serious inquiries only please. kittens@razielreign.com
I call her "Squeak "
No other adults available at this time
Check back spring-fall 2012
as I will be retiring a few of my girls. I LOVE my kittens so much I always end up
keeping more than I need. It's time I share! As we shift into spring, I will be making
some tough choices in deciding who to breed, and who gets to go be a spoiled pet.
All of these adults are nice breeding quality. Awesome, outgoing personalities, all
brown to gold and all spotted. Most still have all the energy of a kitten. Most will be
available as pets, some may be offered for breeding program option too.
If everything goes as planned I'll be offering a proven C level stud this summer or fall.
He is already proven fertile but he has more work to do here before he can leave. I am
open to serious breeder inquiries now, and if the right program is not found for him, he
will stay and work here a bit longer and maybe be available as a pet next year.
When adopting an adult, retired breeding cat, keep in mind they will need more time to
settle in and adjust to the big change in their world than kittens need. A little patience
pays off in many ways. Let them set the pace on building your relationship and you will
be rewarded.
Often times, retired breeding cats have spent much of their adult life in the cat house
(aka "cattery") where they have been able to run and play all they want.In this case, they
are used to having multi level shelves, climbing toys, cat trees, exercise wheels,
etc and don't have human imposed house rules to stay off of or out of anything, so will
need patience there too in learning your expectations, much like a kitten learns as he
grows up in your home. Retired cattery cats have had to follow the feline house rules
rather than human house rules, so now have to relearn.
"What do you mean the kitchen is not a jungle gym?" All of mine do get some house
time, but mine is "cat proof". The kitchen is a no cat zone (hey I hate hair in my food just
as much as anyone else). I don't have knick knacks anymore, and they are used to the
shelves being for them, you may want to pack away any breakables while we learn the
new house rules.
Savannahs are very busy cats. Kind of like furry tornados always blowing through. They
love and adore their family, but they are not mellow lapcats.
This breed is extremely intelligent, and also emotional. You cannot be harsh with them
on their mistakes because they take it much harder than most cats. Positive, loving
training methods work wonders.
Many cats prefer to sleep in high places - the top of the fridge is a popular spot, that
once discovered you may not be able to break a one from staking claim to. It's high and
warm!
I'm just trying to give some examples, and making the point to keep in mind, when you
adopt a retired 'working' cat, they have had a different lifestyle than a typical house pet
so you both have some adjustments and they need patience to adjust as well. In return
you get an awesome cat that's higher quality than pet and a lower purchase price.
Nothing said here is about any particular cat, just generalized examples.
All the cats I put up here are litter trained! Stress can contribute to an accident if they
have too much area too soon. Maybe get scared, and/or lost before they have taken
over. They should have a small room with all their needs right there to settle in for the
first few days after arrival - I'll get into that with you if you do bring one of my kids home.
When adopting a retiring stud cat, there are a few things that must be understood. One
thing I do have to point out first, generally. most stud cats spray (urine)!! to mark their
territory. Neutering is the only cure for this. Neutering alone does not always work. We
hope that will stop when he is neutered but there is no way to guarantee this will work.
Most retired studs do stop spraying in time, but may mark their new home a little before
stopping completely ... Then very rarely one may not stop :-/
THIS is why retired studs are usually so much less expensive than retiring females
and of course less than kittens. Also the reason you may see the same cat for sale for
such a long time. It's difficult to find just the right home with the patience and
understanding to take the risk getting a stud turned into a pet.
I have developed a routine that has been successful with many previous retired studs.
It is an effort on my part, but I feel I owe it to my boys to help them learn to be pets when
it's their turn to become a pet.
With all that in mind, I welcome serious inquiries on my retiring boys and will be happy
to discuss my process with you that I have been successful in preventing continued
marking. You will still be expected to be prepared for follow up steps, and possibly
products to help - just in case.
