Silkysiam is a
CFA
(Cat Fanciers Association) chosen cattery name.
The name "silky" was derived from
their silky like body
texture
and
history shows the earlier
Siamese originated
from Thailand, formerly known as Siam.
I have been exclusively breeding and
showing Siamese since 2007. I
do not accept outside stud service for health
purposes. I stay small breeding only a couple
litters a year. My primary goal is to focus on
health and temperament. I breed for show to
closely match the CFA show standard. Pets are
placed if they resemble a show fault which has
no effect on their health whatsoever, other than
they can not be shown. I keep show quality to
use in my breeding program and offer
breeder/show quality to catteries on occasion. I specialize in
mainly chocolate and seal points of the
wedge variety but lilacs and blues are available on
occasions.
Kittens are typically available for placement in
the Spring and Fall to select homes between the
ages of 16-18 weeks of age. Kittens will be
placed after they have been fully vaccinated,
vet checked and altered. Kittens will be placed
with the new owner after they have
recovered from surgery to ensure safe travel and
proper healing per my veterinarian's
recommendations typically 1-2 weeks after
surgery. Kittens are fed a high quality
dry and wet food diet once they have been weaned
and are litter trained by 6 weeks old. A kitten
care pack consisting of trial size food and
litter and care instructions, toy, pedigree and
cfa registration form will accompany the kitten.
Reservations can be made by securing a deposit.
Kittens are hand raised out of cages once they have been
weaned between 6-8 weeks of age to ensure they
become sociable by the time they are ready to go
to their new homes.
The placement of kittens
are offered to pre-selected individuals who can
provide a forever loving home and a safe environment. I
will contact those on my
*waiting list via email
when kittens become available to see if they are
still interested and if so, then arrange for a
follow-up phone interview to determine certain
factors which is required to determine
placement. If contact by email is not desired,
interested individuals should indicate this in
comments when completing thje waiting list form and provide an alternate source of
contact. A written
contract
is required for all placements.
Prospective owners should
only consider a kitten if they can provide a
forever loving and safe home environment for
the kitten which is a life long commitment.
There are occasions when
an adult will be offered for placement once they
are retired from showing or breeding. Please
inquire if interested.
