Piupaws kittens

For every kitten we hope to find best home possible. Most of our kittens go to pet homes and were are happy with that. Off course it is nice for a breeder to see own cats in shows and specially when they do succeed. Year 2005 over 50 FIN*Piupaws cats entered cat shows.

Cornish rexes are well know for their super social temperament. Most cats love children, dogs and other cats. We have four dogs and Heli has two children helping to socialise kittens. Cornish rex is also suitable as an only pet but then the owner must be able to spent lots of time with the cat. Sometimes best option is to have two kittens so they always have cat company when the owner is not at home. Kittens don't need to be the same age. Many families allready have three or even four Piupaws rexes.

We do export our cats. There are some FIN*Piupaws rexes in Sweden, England, Poland, Czech Republic and Russia. Some of our own imported cats have restrictions by their breeders. We do respect these restrictions and then we will not sell these kittens for breeding. Minimum age to have a kitten is 12 weeks. We are happy to keep kittens also few weeks longer.

All our breeding cats are FIV and Felv negative, blood typed and ringworm negative. Most cats are also heart ultrasound tested. We occasionally test our cats also against herpes, calici and clamydia. This information is not mentioned on the website on each cat but if you ask - we love to talk about healt issues.

We count inbreeding-% for every litter so if you are interested about these, just ask! We try to keep IB% close to 0.

Price

Pet quality kittens are 600 euros. Show and breed quality kittens are from 700 euros. All FIN*Piupaws kittens are registered, also pet quality kittens. Every kitten will have:

"Level"

Pet quality kitten is healthy and nice companion just as a show quality kitten. There are just some beaty faults or we are not certain will the kitten to develop to be as close to Fife standard as possible. Most kittens are sold as pets. You can show your pet quality kitten, but you should not have high hopes for the success. most probably there is some more beatifull cat in the show that will win. Sometimes ugly duggling will become truly beatifull adult...

Sometimes there are kittens that have some kind of clear fault. This can be hernia, false bite, tail kink, male does not have both testicles or some other kind of fault. Mostly these kind of faults don't harm the cat at all. The cat itself does not know if there is small kink in the end of the tail.

If the faul is bigger one and it will need medical treatment (for example operating missing testicle) it will be compensated in the price of the kitten. Lukily this kind of kittens are very rarely born.

Pet quality kittens are registered as "not for breeding".

Show quality kitten is the one we hope to have success in shows. We try to choose the best ones for showing but it is not always easy. More we breed, higher our own standards go and and it gets harder and harder to deside wich kitten will have show potential. We cannot give any qurantee the show quality kitten will also be show quality adult - but we try our best and we don't sell kittens as show cats if we feel they will not be that good. Also show quality kittens are registered as "not for breeding".

Breed quality kittens are for future breeding. The kitten needs to be fautless and also pedigree has to be usefull for breeding. We don't sell breeding cats very often, we keep most breeding cats ourselfs.

"Leasing"

Some of our breeding cats live in other families. We try to keep our own number of cats reasonable but we also keep most of the "oldies" and retired ex-breeding or show cats at home. They are our family members and they will never leave. To be able to continue breeding and to have new cats in breeding program the best solution for the cats are that they live in leasing families. The cats are mostly placed there as kittens and they will live there all their lives. Some leasing cats are shown a lot if the owner is interested in showing. The leasing cats are used in breeding usually once or twice and then they are neutred.
