Where
does Puppy Paradise get it's Kittens?
Puppy
Paradise kittens come from a select group of private
breeders that must meet or exceed our high expectations
. Our standards are the toughest in the industry
with regards to animal husbandry, cleanliness and
health protocols. Our home office personnel
frequently visit our local breeders facilities to
ensure full compliance with our requirements.
We do not support or do any business with any "puppy
mills". Our private breeders are inspected and
licensed humane agencies and the U.S.D.A.
Why
Choose a Puppy Paradise Kitten?
Puppy Paradise
goes to great lengths to ensure that every kitten
we sell is a healthy happy kitten. and is a good representation
of the breed. It is also important for kittens
to be properly socialized, and you will find that
our kittens are among the most social around.
It is also important to us that our kittens are good
quality kittens. By this we mean many
of our kittens are pretty or handsome kittens.
Many of our kittens are from Champion or show breeding
lines, but all are extremely cute. About 95% of our
kittens are registered with CFA. However there
are some breeds we sell that are simply not recognized
yet by the CFA. Typically these kittens will
be registered with another kennel club such as NCRA
(National Cat Registry of America). There are
still kittens that aren't registered with any kennel
whatsoever. You will be informed at the store
which registry your kitten is registered with.
The registration forms are provided at the time of
purchase or shortly thereafter. When deciding whether
to buy or adopt a kitten there are a few things that
need to be considered. First are the physical
characteristics you are looking for. With a
purebred kitten you will know the full-grown size
and weight of your cat. When you adopt a mixed
breed it is difficult to approximate full-grown size.
To some people whether or not a cat sheds and the
length of the hair is an important factor. These
traits are easily identified with a purebred kitten
and this is not the case with a mixed breed.
It is almost impossible to tell with a mixed breed
kitten. When deciding to purchase a kitten, there
are many advantages of visiting Puppy Paradise than
finding a breeder. First we have an enormous
selection of kittens. We can offer a variety
of breeds, price ranges, and temperaments. A
breeder will typically have only 1 litter of kittens
and your selection will be limited to the particular
breed of kittens they have. Second, Puppy Paradise
has an incredible unmatched health
guarantee . A breeder, though they
may offer some sort of health policy, would not be
able to afford you the same guarantee as Puppy Paradise.
Most important, the experienced staff at Puppy Paradise
is there to help you decide on a kitten that is right
for you and we are here for you 7 days a week to answer
any questions you may have after you take your new
kitten home. Our staff members include experts
in the areas of training, grooming, and kitten health
care.
Bring
Home a Kitten
When you bring
your new kitten home, at first she may miss her cat
family. She may wake up and meow during the
night. Pick her up and comfort her by speaking
soothingly and stroking her gently. Spend as
much time as possible with your kitten the first few
days in it's new home. Give her understanding,
affection and reassurance as she becomes familiar
and comfortable with you and her new surroundings.
Introduce
your kitten to your home gradually by following these
helpful hints.
For the first
day or two, keep your cat confined to one room when
you aren't able to be with her. Keep inside
her litter box, food and water. Let the kitten
become comfortable in this room before introducing
her to the rest of the house.
After your
new kitten is relaxed and acclimated, allow her to
explore the rest of the new home.
After the initial adjustment period your kitten should
be allowed to roam freely about the house or apartment.
Keep a watchful eye on her to make sure she doesn't
get into any trouble.
You
should provide your kitten with items specifically
designed for climbing and scratching. This will
keep it from using furniture for this purpose.
Kittens have an innate desire to sharpen their front
claws regularly. Rather than trying to suppress
this natural urge, you should encourage your kitten
to use things that belong to it exclusively.
Rubbing catnip or a favorite treat on a preferred
surface will encourage your kitten to use it rather
than furniture or carpeting.
Kittens
also need lots of sleep which helps them develop into
healthy and strong adult cats. The kitten should
be free to choose its own sleep and play areas.
However, it should be sleeping in a bed, equipped
with a soft pillow and a blanket and placed in a quiet
spot. The bedding should be washed once a week
or so.
Litter
Box Training
Training
kittens to use a litter box is not difficult. In fact
their mother trains many kittens by the time they
come to you. Proper training at home begins
with the proper equipment.
The Litter Box
Choose a box that's large enough for the kitten to
fit comfortably inside. An 18 by 14 inch box
with 4 inch sides is the right size for most average
size adults. Kittens may need a smaller box
that they can easily get into and out of.
- Make
sure there is ample room to dig and turn around.
- Consider
using a box with a top. This will help contain
odor and give your kitten a bit of privacy
and security while going to the bathroom.
- Eliminate
odor by cleaning the box each week with warm soapy
water (avoid scented disinfectants)
- Remove
solid waste daily and change litter regularly.
How often you change the litter also depends on
how many cats you have, how many boxes they use
and the kind of litter.
- Locate
the box in a relatively quite spot that gives your
kitten some privacy. The spot should be easy
for your kitten to access and far away from sleeping
and eating areas.
Urinating
outside the litter box
Even
well trained kittens may occasionally use areas outside
the litter box to go to the bathroom...If this happens
don't punish your kitten. Determine the reason
why she missed the box, which is usually territorial,
medical, or environmental.
- Environmental
- Is your kitten squatting as usual when eliminating,
but not in the litter box, or teying to use the
box without touching the litter by straddling the
box? The problem often in cleanliness, a change
in the type of litter, the litter box itself,
its location or another cat. To solve this
problem, add a litter box for the other cat, clean
and change the litter more frequently or move the
box to a new location.
Medical
- Your kitten may suffer from feline lower urinary
tract disease (FLUTD), a urinary tract infection
or constipation. Talk to our veterinarians.
They will most likely want you to being your cat
in for an examination and a urinalysis test.
Territorial
- If your kitten is urinating while standing up
and directing the urine toward a vertical surface
or wall, he is marking his territory. This
usually occurs with unneutered males, and neutering
helps solve the problem. In a neutered male
or spayed female, the case may be a change in routine
or change in the household, such as introduction
of a new cat. If this is the case, show your
cat more attention to reassure her that her relationship
is unchanged.
Some
common behavioral problems can be stopped before they
start with proper training. The key is patience.
Kittens can be trained if you use positive reinforcement
instead of punishment.
Feeding
Carnivores
by nature, they need a diet rich in meat proteins
to maintain good health. Kittens also need taurine-an
amino acid essential to them, that's not found in
meats. Cats cannot produce enough taurine in
their bodies so it is important to feed your kitten
a high quality diet. When your kitten comes
home feed her a high quality, premium kitten food.
Feed your
kitten 3 to 4 times a day, morning and night.
Take cups of Iams or Nutro Kitten
Food. The dry food should be the mainstay of
your kitten's diet. Then give the kitten a small
can of kitten food, like Iams , Nutro , or Sheba.
Leave out a
dish of dry Iams or Nutro Kitten Food for your kitten
at all times of day.
Always leave
your kitten a heavy weighted dish filled with water.
DO NOT GIVE THE KITTEN MILK!
Supplements
are not necessary if you are feeding your
new kitten a premium, high quality, 100% complete
and balanced kitten food. In fact, supplementing
a well balanced diet with costly vitamins and minerals
are likely to be more harmful than beneficial.
If your kitten gets
diarrhea, you can treat it easily. Feed the
kitten equal amounts of boiled rice and chopped meat
for 3 to 4 days.
Tip's
and Care
Jumping
on counters and furniture
Kittens
enjoy resting in elevated places especially window
sills and ledges where they can see outside.
Use these tips to prevent unwanted behaviors:
Establish
acceptable elevated sites your kitten can inhabit.
When she begins to choose her own resting places,
give positive reinforcement for using the ones you've
chosen.
If
your kitten uses an unacceptable area, place her in
one of the chosen spots.
Fill
an empty soda can with 10 pennies and tape the top
completely to contain the coins and cover any sharp
edges. When you see your kitten engaged in inappropriate
behavior, shake or toss the can near the kitten..
not at her. The noise will startle her and distract
her from the unwanted behavior. Follow up by
giving your kitten one of her favorite toys.
With consistent repetition, she'll learn that certain
behaviors produce loud disturbing noises.
Scratching
Furniture
Kittens
scratch with their claws as part of grooming and also
to mark territory. Train your kitten right from
the beginning to sharpen her claws on a scratching
post. Hold her near the post and show her how
to scratch her claws on the surface. Give praise
when she uses the post.
