Azreal Russian's for Re-homing

Why retire breeding cats?

This was always some thing I have struggled with... parting with my beloved pets but as a breeder one has to look on constantly improving the breed. 

For health reasons we are required to put new blood lines into our breeding, often these "outcrosses" as we call them are not quite to our Standard of Points here in South Africa.  Perhaps we are breeding for a specific "look" or to change the slightest of qualities.  Perhaps a kitten kept for breeding does not quite turn out to be all we are looking for or un-able to be bred from. 

One of the biggest reasons for me is having a stud boy that is just such a love bug I cannot bare to have him live in a stud run, although I spend a huge amount of time with my boys, stud runs are just simply a fact of breeding.  I have also set a limit to the amount of cats I am willing to have in my house hold for health and happiness of the cats.  I can simply only give love to so many cats and I know that a Russian has so much love to give that rather than ending up with more and more cats myself they would in fact be happier in a home with a smaller cat population. 

What ever the reason for the need to re-home it does happen from time to time and one of the hardest parts to me of being a breeder.

Why take on an adult?
Russian adults are a wonderful addition to a house hold with their very laid back easy going temperament they fit in rather easy.  A re-homed adult can be taken on with a kitten especially to a home for first kitten owners.  Not only does the adult offer security and comfort in a new environment but would also offer companionship where two kittens cannot be taken together.

Perhaps you are retired or do not have the time available to raise a young kitten, raising a kitten takes patience and a lot of energy.  An adult is already all grown up.

The cost of a re-homed adult is simply the cost of covering the spay or neuter and up to date inoculations.  Most retired breeding cats come out of a breeding program fairly young and still have many years ahead to give Russian love.

Available:

Depending on what nature gives me this breeding season (2010) I will be retiring breeding cats after babies are born and weaned. Adults will be spay/neutered and have a month or two to recover and settle down to being Neuters before they will be available.
If you are interested in an adult Russian please contact me. I would prefer retire adults to remain in the Cape Town area and prefer homes where they can be single cat's or homed with a Russian kitten.
