KITTENS DUE SOON:
Dancer (chocolate) is up next to have kittens (her last litter)

Meanwhile, if you are interested in a particular color of kitten sooner or want one now, we can point you to several reputable Abyssinian breeders, many of whom we work with directly. For example: Our friend and co-breeder Blue River Abys will not be taking a break on having kittens since their queens are young.

If you want us to provide a "kitten back" replacement guarantee in addition to the other breeder's written health guarantee, you can start the process through us by requesting and filling out a Buyer Questionnaire. It won't cost you any extra to do so.
However, we ONLY work with and refer people to reputable breeders who we trust to provide you with a well socialized, beautiful, healthy kitten!

The people on the Priority Waiting List who sent in a deposit (after completing a Buyer Questionnaire and being approved) get first pick of the available kittens in the order the deposit is received. The people on the Priority Waiting List can also choose to pass on the kittens available and be first in line for the next litter of kittens.

Our kittens are descended from National Winners (NW) and Regional Winners (RW). Many of our kittens are descended from a National Winner, the highest CFA title. This beautiful ruddy Abyssinian is in all of the Alexy cats we have.

We show our Abyssinians to make sure we keep to the standard as the judges and other breeders interpret it. We also enjoy seeing friends that we only get to see during a show. And it also lets us interact with the public and show everybody in person how beautiful and wonderful cats Abyssinians are.

We are breeding for show quality Abyssinians from show or breeder quality cats so most of our kittens are also show quality although none are guaranteed to be.

Our kittens are usually sold as soon as they are available and often well in advance of their birth (we will refund the deposit if you want it back and haven't gotten your kitten within six months. Sometimes a kitten is available immediately, and most of the time within 3-4 months).

Our kittens are picked up and petted and played with several times a day from the first minute they are born, and when they are big enough and have had their first vaccinations, are integrated into the group of cats in our bedroom and sleep with us and are socialized to live with people in harmony with them.

We are looking for breeders to help show the sex-linked red Abys to advance them to Championship in TICA. Breeders need to show at least one sex-linked red Aby in a TICA show at least one time in the New Traits class - for example, Mikey (cream male), Sky (blue torbie female), Sacrebleu (blue torbie female), Linc (red male), and Fire (ruddy torbie female) - and also actively breed the sex-linked red Abys in order to help. Please contact us if you are interested. We might have a deal for you!

Like most responsible breeders, we do require that you fill out a prospective owner questionnaire via email. The questionnaire and deposit are required to be put on the waiting list for the next available kitten (in the order the deposit is received).

Aksum kittens may go to their new homes starting at 12 weeks old. We insist on indoor-only homes and no declawing in our written contract. The kittens come with their first two vaccinations (the last vaccination as a kitten needs to be at 16 weeks old), registration papers, and a five-generation pedigree. They will be already pediatrically spayed or neutered at our risk and expense if they are sold as a pet.

Our written contract has a health guarantee. Our kittens are guaranteed free of FeLV, FIP, ringworm, T. foetus, and other major diseases for seven days (requires vet diagnosis and test results), and from genetic diseases (requires UC Davis DNA testing results & vet and lab diagnosis) and FIP (requires formal necropsy and no FIP vaccine) for one year.

Transport of your kitten to you is extra and is usually about $300 within the continental U.S. We ask that you pay the kitten handler directly or pay us in advance if we are transporting for you. We will transport for the cost of the airplane ticket plus pet fee or gas money if we are driving to meet you. We encourage you to come pick up your kitten here at our home and even visit your kitten before he/she is ready to go. :-) Visitors are *always* welcome here after the Buyer Questionnaire is filled out.

We are available for advice for the lifetime of the kitten and we take this commitment very seriously. We also will take the kitten back if the new owner is no longer able to care for them at any time during their life, no questions asked, no blame. We really do mean this! We rescue Abyssinians too, and have a large network to help re-home into just the right home for them. Let us help you and them!!

The current number of people on the Priority Waiting List is: 4
This number does NOT include breeders (they *always* get first pick before the kittens are available to pet owners). We don't have the colors these breeders are looking for yet. We announce the available kittens as soon as we can after they are born, and after breeders have had their pick, if any, including us.

The current kittens are now all reserved. The next litters of kittens will be from Dancer and Jaxx, then Sunrise and Cobra, then Soul Sister and Jaxx. These kittens will all be available in the late fall to late winter of 2012. We are taking a break while the new queens grow up. Dancer is the only one of the older queens who will have one more litter, then she will be retired too.

Meanwhile, if you want to reserve your spot early for a kitten from Dancer, Sunrise, or Soul Sister, make sure to get your deposit in soon. Or if you want to put a deposit down and be referred to another breeder for a kitten from them with Aksum backing their guarantee so you can get a kitten sooner, I have done that and will be happy to do it again, with the breeders I have worked with and trust.

Dancer will stay here as a beloved pet (in case anyone had any doubts! LOL!) and we will go into the Pet Therapy program together (pets visiting elderly and young people to cheer them up).
