What do you feed your cats and kittens?

Another option for feeding raw is to use TCFeline PLUS Beef Liver Raw Cat Food Premix. It is a Premix / Supplement that you mix with your own ground or cubes meat to make a Homemade Raw Cat Food Diet. You can use Any meat appropriate for cat consumption can be used with this premix, such as Chicken, Beef, Buffalo, Turkey, pork rabbit and more. Our favorite protein to use is pork as we have found that none of our cats or kittens are sensitive to it.

To make your cats nutritious raw food take two pounds of raw meat that you have freshly ground or cubed yourself. Then take the meat and mix it with two egg yolks, 1/4 cups of TCFeline mix and 1/2 cup cold water. After mixing portion into 1/4 cup balls and freeze. The day before the food will be consumed move to the fridge to thaw until serving. Feed one ball per Persian every morning and every night.

Are your kittens vaccinated?

Our kittens are vaccinated at 8, 12 and 16 weeks, with PureVax FeLV vaccines. These vaccines are designed for kittens to provide immunity support against Feline Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia. 

Why can’t my kitten come home at 8 weeks?

It is a common misconception that kittens can be separated from their mothers as early as 8 weeks old. However, kittens separated at this time are still at risk for developmental, social, and health issues. Instead, kittens should remain with their mothers until they are 12-16 weeks old. By this age (and with proper human interaction and training), kittens should be able to go to the bathroom in an appropriate place (i.e. the litter box), play on their own instead of needing other littermates, they will have a fully developed immune system, should be fully vaccinated, and will not be a victim of unnecessary stress that comes from weaning too early.

Are you a PKD/FELV/FIV Negative cattery?

Yes, we are a PKD/FELV/FIV and parasite free cattery. All of breeding cats are also genetically screened using Optimal Selection and are 100% genetically clear.

Are your kittens well socialized ?

All kittens are raised underfoot and are spoiled members of our family. All kittens will go home well socialized. They will experience all the sights and sounds of a normal home environment: people, music, TV, the vacuum, the sound of pots and pans, the toilet flushing, and other pets (under supervision).

Our kittens will be introduced to grooming and given weekly baths and blow-dryed starting at 6 weeks to ensure that they are easy to groom when they go to their forever homes.

Can I declaw my Nautilus Persian?

Here at Nautilus Persians, we do not allow declawing of our cats or kittens. Our contractual agreement on no declawing is enforceable. We recommend monthly nail trims on the kittens and as needed on adults, or nail caps to be applied.  

Declawing is the amputation of the last bone of each toe. It would be like cutting off your fingers at the last knuckle. 

Declawing can cause paw pain, back pain, infection, tissue necrosis (tissue death) and lameness. Removing claws changes the way a cat's foot meets the ground and can cause pain. Improperly removed claws can regrow, causing nerve damage and bone spurs.  Declawing also can cause behavioral issues such as litter box aversion.

How can I reserve a kitten?

If you would like to purchase an available kitten a non-refundable deposit of 30% of your kitten’s total price is required to hold your kitten until he or she is ready for their forever home (Typically between 12 to 16 weeks depending on individual development).

We also offer a free waitlist for future litters. To get on our waitlist you must fill out our application. Once on our waitlist you will be notified when a new litter is born and you will have your pick according to your placement on our waitlist. Please note that we do not assign kittens until they are 5 weeks of age. This gives time for the kitten to develop so that we can access their confirmation and personalities before offering them to those on our waitlist.

Once you choose your kitten a non-refundable deposit of 30% of your chosen kitten’s total price is required before your kitten will be marked as reserved for you.
