Buying a ChrisCrash Cat

 We are a small cattery and we pride ourselves on the health and temperament of our kittens.

It is a delicate balancing act to keep the kittens in isolation away from the other cats in order to reduce the risk of cross infection and the need to introduce them to people and socialise them in their early weeks.

We believe we have achieved this balance by allowing a limited number of handlers to be with the kittens for the first 6 weeks. These handlers all understand and practise the very necessary infection control protocol of this Cattery. For this reason You can only see photos of the kittens until they are at least 6 weeks old.

You can see from our Health page that we are working hard to ensure that our cats and kittens are in the best health but unfortunately as hard as you try there are no 100% guarantees.

It is very stressful for the kitten when it goes to a new home , stress  suppresses the immune system and this is the time when they are most vulnerable to infections.
