Crowson CatteryPersian Kittens

 

Our Home

Crowson Cattery is a cageless home where all of our babies are raised underfoot...Literally.

Before any of our babies leave our home they are very well adjusted to fit into just about any environment. They are all kid friendly, dog friendly, and even bath friendly...well for the most part, but who likes baths anyway?

About Us

I am Jennifer Crowson, and my husband James (aka the litter box cleaner) have 2 wonderful children, 5 cats, and a very large dog, which are an extremely huge help in making sure our kittens are ready to take on the world.

I have worked in the pet industry for over 10 years and have extensive knowledge in nutrition and care of anything from mice to horses...but my specialty is cats!

Cats Everywhere! How it all works

So how in the world do we keep 5 cats getting along, not to even mention all the babies in order? Lots of practice!!

In our home we have 3 rooms dedicated to the cattery. We have the kitten room, the maternity ward, and the daddy hide-away.

For the most part all the Queens have free range of the entire house to do as they please. When it comes time to breed they take a short vacation to the 'Daddy Hide-Away' with the King of our choice for a few short days.

 The Daddy Hide-Away is actually a 26x30 ft room that has been completely 'pee-proofed' and designed for easy cleaning (since we all know how dirty boys can be). It has a privacy room where we can seperate one male away from the others so that the King and Queen have privacy.

 About 2 weeks before they are due to have their kittens they are moved into our 'Maternity Ward', which is a large room with all the peace and quiet (and comfy hiding places) that a new mom-to-be craves.

Once the new babies begin to get around on their own, and have started to eat solid food, they are then moved into the kitten room where they will stay until they are completely independent. That usually happens around 6 weeks, at which time they gain free range of the entire house...woohoo!

We always try to have no more than 2 litters at any time so that every kitten gets the special care and attention they all deserve!
