8First day in a new home
It is always a huge change. Remember, it is a first day in his/her live without mom and siblings. New home, perhaps other animals in the house, new people… Considering all these it is not unusual, if your new friend is hiding from you before he/she begin to trust you. Food and toys are your best friends in the first couple of days.
Before you bring your new kitten home, put his food, water, toys, scratching post, and litter pan in a quiet room you can close off, such as a spare bedroom. It is very important to keep your new kitten away from other household pets during the quarantine time. Once your kitten has been examined by your vet you can slowly introduce them to other pets and the rest of the household. This should be done very slowly and with as little stress on the kitten as possible. You can expect that existing cats and the new kitten may hiss at each other. This should subside quickly once they get to know each other.
9On your way home in the car
A cat carrier should be used every time your kitten/cat is riding in the car. An unrestrained cat can be a driving hazard, especially if he climbs down by the pedals, or jumps onto your shoulder. We suggest purchasing a carrier that is large enough for your kitten to use when it’s an adult.
10When I need to take the kitten to see the vet?
We recommend to do that ASAP to confirm that you got healthy kitten. However, we require that your vet examine the kitten within 3 business days - as per our health guarantee. Your kitten will need his second vaccination shot at around 16 weeks old or at the advice of your vet. Be sure to take the vaccination records that we provide - so that your vet has a complete record on your new kitten More information is in the contract.
11May I change the food for the kitten?
Your new kitten will go home with the food that the kitten has been eating since being weaned. It is very important to continue to use the same food - as a sudden diet change can cause diarrhea (which can be devastating to a young kitten). If you choose to change the brand of food when they are older, you must slowly transition 25% / 50% / 75%, etc...
12Where to keep the kitten at night?
You are free to choose where to allow you kitten. We don’t recommend sleeping with kittens. First, they sleep like babies. You can bring them from place to place without waking them up. You can easily kill the kitten covering with pillow of pressing with your body.
Don’t be surprised if you or your kids feel sick after kissing your new friend or allow him/her to go into your bed. Remember, they don’t wash their hands with soup :o)
Our cats don’t go into the bedroom even if the doors are open. Your new friend will soon follow you everywhere, Leave something only for yourself.

14I want 2 kittens
We have a nice discount prepared for you.
15My friend/neighbor… wants Siberian Hunter kitten
We will send you “thank you card” ( $200 gift card) 2 months after adoption day.
16I want to have a discipline cat in the future
Siberians a doglike cat. They enjoy feeling that they have a n owner. They enjoy to be trained. But in the beginning you need to teach your new friend to good. Your kitten will try new things to see your reaction. If you allow everything it will be where hard to change if you decide that “it too much”. Better to begin with your rules after 3 months of age. Clap twice if something is not OK, and you want kitten’s attention. Say: NO! raise you voice a little. If you have no response, spray him/her with water. You know, cats love water… After 20 times, clapping will be enough. It works! We promise!
17Can I travel without my kitten?
Yes! You can go away for a few days. But make sure you have backup plan. Ask somebody to be available just in case. Buy a cheap IP video camera. Connect it when you are not at home to see if your kitten has food and water. Cats will survive without food for a few days, but without water…
18I love my kitten. I will give him only the best can food.
Not the best idea! Balance is the key. Believe us, you will appreciate the time when your cat can stay at home without daily care. That is why you are getting Siberian Cat. Siberians are still REAL cats.
19How often can I see the pictures of my future kitten?
We will update the pictures on our Facebook page at 4 and 6 weeks of age. Sometimes more often.
