TO AVOID THE POTENTIAL OUTBREAK OF CERTAIN DISEASES/PARASITES (SUCH AS POTENTIALLY DEADLY UPPER RESPIRATORY VIRUSES, RINGWORM, FLEAS…TO NAME JUST A FEW), WE’VE FOUND IT NECESSARY TO HAVE A VISITATION POLICY IN AN ATTEMPT TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM POTENTIALLY TRAVELING FROM ANOTHER BREEDING FACILITY AND THEN COMING TO OUR HOME TO VISIT OUR BABIES, AND THEREBY CARRYING ILLNESSES/PARASITES IN WITH THEM. PROTECTING OUR KITTENS/CATS FROM ILLNESS IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT TO US THAN JUST “MAKING A SALE”! KITTENS ARE VERY FRAGILE WHEN THEY’RE YOUNG, ESPECIALLY BEFORE THEY’VE HAD ALL OF THEIR VACCINATIONS.
IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE REASONS, IN THIS DAY AND AGE, INVITING PEOPLE INTO OUR HOME WHERE WE LIVE WITH OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILD HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING QUITE A DANGEROUS SITUATION, SO WE ATTEMPT TO LIMIT VISITS TO FAMILIES WHO ARE SERIOUS ABOUT ADOPTING ONE OF OUR BABIES. WE ALSO WORK FULL-TIME AND OUR TIME OFF WITH OUR FAMILY IS VERY VALUABLE TO US…WE DO NOT RUN A BUSINESS WHERE WE ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC…WE ARE SMALL HOBBY BREEDERS, AND IT IS OUR HOME, AND OUR CATS RESIDE IN OUR HOME WITH US AS OUR BELOVED PETS. WE DO NOT RUN A KITTEN MILL, AND WE’VE NOTHING TO HIDE…WE SIMPLY VALUE OUR KITTENS/CATS AND NEED TO PROTECT THEM FROM DISEASES, ETC., WHILE PROTECTING OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILY AS WELL!
WITH THAT BEING SAID, IF/WHEN WE HAVE AN AVAILABLE LITTER AND/OR A RETIRED ADULT AVAILABLE, VISITS TO OUR HOME ARE WELCOME BY THOSE WITH DEPOSITS ONLY. SAID DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE, BUT IS TRANSFERRABLE TO A KITTEN FROM A DIFFERENT LITTER SHOULD YOU SO CHOOSE. SAID DEPOSIT MUST BE APPLIED TO THE PURCHASE OF A LUVLEEDOLLS KITTEN WITHIN SIX MONTHS FROM THE DATE SAID DEPOSIT WAS RECEIVED BY US, OR SAID DEPOSIT WILL BE FORFEITED, AND A NEW DEPOSIT WILL BE REQUIRED SHOULD YOU WISH TO ADOPT A FUTURE LUVLEEDOLLS KITTEN. THE DEPOSIT SHOWS THAT YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT ADOPTING A KITTEN, AND HELPS TO ASSURE US THAT NO ONE IS FIRST VISITING ANOTHER BREEDING FACILITY PRIOR TO COMING INTO OUR HOME AND POSSIBLY PASSING ILLNESS ONTO OUR BABIES.
WE ARE ABSOLUTELY HONORED TO SAY THAT OUR RAGDOLLS COME FROM SOME OF THE BEST AND MOST HIGHLY REPUTABLE BREEDERS AROUND, AND WE CANNOT THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM ENOUGH FOR ALLOWING US THE ABSOLUTE PRIVILEGE OF OWNING AND CARING FOR THEIR BABIES!!!! WE CONTINUALLY STRIVE TO PRODUCE QUALITY, HEALTHY AND WELL SOCIALIZED KITTENS TO SHARE WITH YOU.
WE HOPE THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT OUR REASONS FOR HAVING THIS POLICY. WE KNOW THAT FAMILIES WHOM ALREADY HAVE A RESERVED KITTEN WITH US ARE THANKFUL FOR US HAVING SUCH A POLICY, AS THEY CERTAINLY WOULD NOT WANT THEIR PRECIOUS BABY TO UNNECESSARILY GET SICK.
