Important Adoption Information

How to Adopt a Kitten from Nacoonzi

1. Submit an Application
   Complete the application form on our website to get started. We personally review each submission and follow up once you're pre-approved.

2. Waitlist & Matching
   Approved applicants are placed on a waitlist and notified when a suitable litter becomes available.

3. Zoom Call
   When kittens are 5 to 6 weeks old, we host a Zoom call so you can meet your kitten virtually and see the environment where they were raised.

4. Select Your Kitten
   After the call, you’ll choose your kitten and confirm by placing a deposit.

5. Place a Deposit
   A $300 non-refundable deposit secures your kitten. We accept PayPal (Friends & Family only), personal checks, or cashier’s checks. Final payment is due at pickup and must be made via cash or cashier’s check.

6. Pickup at 12 Weeks
   Kittens are ready to go home at around 12 weeks of age. This gives them time to socialize, nurse, and learn from mom and their siblings.

What’s Included With Each Kitten

Each kitten goes home with:

• Vet check and signed health certificate

• First vaccination (with printed documentation)

• Dewormed twice, recorded in your health folder

• Blanket

• Toys

• Matching harness and leash

• Personalized Nacoonzi bag

• Grooming tool

We also offer continuing support via email or phone throughout the life of your kitten. You're always welcome to reach out.

Health Guarantee & Testing

Health is our top priority. All breeding cats are tested for HCM, PKD, and FeLV, and we perform echocardiograms to screen for heart issues — a step many breeders skip.

We offer a 1-year guarantee against genetic conditions resulting in death from HCM, provided that a licensed necropsy confirms the cause. In that case, we will provide a replacement kitten.

To maintain the guarantee, we ask that you continue your kitten on NuVet supplements, which support long-term wellness.

Kitten Socialization & Care Schedule

We follow a structured care and socialization plan from birth:

• 1 week before delivery: queens are moved into a handmade birthing box in our bedroom

• We observe every birth and assist if needed

• Weeks 0–3: kittens stay in the bedroom with mom

• Weeks 3–5: move to a dedicated nursery

• Week 5: kittens explore upstairs during the day and return to the nursery at night

• Week 7: expanded play area opens downstairs

• Week 6: flea bath and deworming

• Week 8: first vaccinations

• Pictures are taken around week 5 and added to our website

• Kittens remain with mom until naturally weaned

All kittens are raised underfoot, ensuring proper socialization. They are confident, affectionate, and ready to blend into family life.

Our Policies

• We do not offer in-home visits, but all matched families receive a Zoom call

• Kittens are sold as indoor-only pets

• We do not sell to breeders

• We reserve the right to cancel an adoption if the match does not feel right

• Deposits are non-refundable but apply to the total adoption price

Exact pricing is shared once you're matched with a litter.

Breeding Lines & Nutrition

Our cats come from top show catteries in Europe, and our program emphasizes health, temperament, and size.

All cats are fed a high-quality diet, including Purina Pro Plan and additional supplements that support growth and immunity.
