Let's talk about the cost of a kitten
Maynetree Blog

Our kittens are $3000 each. This is based on the following factors that can be quantified with a dollar value: - Vet work > kittens come desexed ($140-200 depending on gender), vaccinated x 3 ($90) microchipped ($25), worming (2 tabs x $11 and they are wormed every fortnight from 2 weeks old) they all come with a physical health record. This doesn’t include routine vet work of all adult breeding cats (routine = vaccinations, dentals, pregnancy stuff). - Food costs:   - 25kg meat ..read more

I’m still learning and evolving, so please be kind if I haven’t got everything just right. I welcome any comments/opinions as long as they’re KIND ? So this is still a whole new world for me. I’ve been reading up on this since I chose Henley the day he was born, and he is now just over 2 years old. That’s a decent chunk of time and research, and I feel like I’ve only just begun to understand the tip of the iceberg. It’s pretty overwhelming and complex. We also did a little on Me ..read more

Okay, I know I bang on about this. Why though? Surely it doesn't matter that much? How many of you reading this have a dog or a cat, or want to get one (or more) in the future?

Where do rescues come from? They exist because of BYB and kitten/puppy mills. Why? Because a BYB doesn't take responsibility for the offsp ..read more

Nico's difficult birth and some more rambling about reputable breeding
Maynetree Blog

Welcome to the worldThe C-Litter It wasn't a smooth ride this time around. Nico required some extra help after secondary uterine inertia. She had two on her own... then everything stopped. So after some oxytocin only partially got things moving, and she had two more... it stopped progressing again, and she required a c-section to deliver the last little one. One of the babies took a long time to start spontaneously breathing on it's own. Nico had a rough wake up. We were tired but we kept going ..read more

Henley x Nico

Don't you love how Henley looks constantly perplexed ?? I would be too if it was my first time in the sack with a strange woman who spoke a different language ? I wonder if Henley can understand Nico's Danish accent ? Only 6 days post arrival and in true Nico style, she's kicked into a full heat ? This girl is bomb proof and just takes everything in her stride! However, It seems Nico is a silent caller, apart from a few quiet vocalisations... nothing! And her mama is that way too ..read more
