Our kittens must usually be 12 weeks old before they
leave
us. **All pet kittens must be neutered or spayed before they go to their
new
homes (females are an additional $75 for spaying - prices for boys
include
neutering). Please let us know when you write whether you are looking for just a pet or want a kitten for breeding purposes..
Our preferred method of parting with a kitten is for the new owner
to
pick it up here. We are located midway between Knoxville and
Chattanooga
in Tennessee. We are about 3 hours from Atlanta, Georgia; 2 hours from
Nashville, Tennessee, and about 3 hours from Asheville, North
Carolina. If you contact us about getting a
Selkirk Rex kitten, please be
sure
to let us know where you are located and how you would be effecting
delivery
of the kitten.
If you need a kitten to be shipped, our charges are $100 for
carrier,
vet certificate, travel (rabies shots, if required, are about $15 more)
- you can contact the airline directly to find out if delivery to you
is
practical (from TYS - Knoxville, TN) and to get the costs for the air
flight
- via Northwest (800) 692-2746 or Delta (888) 736-3738 or Comair (877)
528-4961. (The kittens are sent in a small carrier and the total
weight is under 15 pounds.) You can then later book and pay for the
flight
directly after arrangements are made. If temperatures are inclement,
your
kitten may need to arrive at an inconvenient hour in order to arrive
safely.
Many people want to correspond by telephone. We are on a working
farm and always seem to have a chore that needs doing, which doesn't
make
for relaxed chats, and, frankly, I am uncomfortable talking to
strangers
on the phone (all right, maybe this is a personality problem - but it's
MY personality problem and perhaps you have some of your own?)
After
we have answered your questions by email and arrived at a decision
point,
we can provide the phone number and a time to call. Thanks!
