We’re delighted that you’re interested in welcoming one of our Turkish Angora cat or kitten into your home! To be added to our waiting list, please complete the questionnaire below. This helps us get to know you, your home environment, and what you’re hoping for in your future companion.

Before moving forward, please take a moment to review our adoption policies:

A non-refundable deposit and signed deposit agreement are required to reserve a kitten. The deposit will be credited toward the final purchase price. Should scheduling or placement timing need to be postponed, the deposit may be applied to a future litter one time only.
A purchase contract must be signed and returned before your kitten leaves our care. This ensures that each kitten is placed responsibly and helps protect the integrity of the Turkish Angora breed.
The purchase price for our kittens ranges from $2,000 to $3,000, depending on type and quality of the cat/kitten.
Full payment must be received in full prior to departure for cat/kittens leaving from our location.

If transportation assistance is needed, flight nanny services are available for an additional fee of approximately $700–$1,000, depending on travel arrangements. All transportation and travel-related expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.

We also offer hand-delivery options at the buyer’s expense. Any associated travel costs will be discussed in advance. Airfare must be paid at the time of booking along with the pet fee, balance is due upon arrival of the delivery. This can be a wonderful option for reducing stress during travel, as your cat or kitten will be accompanied by someone familiar and trusted throughout the journey.

Bringing Your New Kitten Home: The First 72 Hours

Bringing home a new kitten is an exciting experience, but it can also be overwhelming for your new family member. Everything they have known—their mother, littermates, familiar smells, and routines—has suddenly changed.

During the first 72 hours, your primary goal should be helping your kitten feel safe and secure.

What to Expect

Many kittens will:

Explore cautiously
Sleep more than usual
Eat less for the first day or two
Cry or call for littermates
Hide periodically
Follow their new owner closely

What You Should Do

Keep your kitten in a designated safe room initially.
Offer food, water, and a clean litter box.
Allow your kitten to approach you at their own pace.
Maintain a calm, quiet environment.
Provide plenty of rest opportunities.

What to Avoid

Introducing the entire house immediately.
Inviting many visitors.
Forcing interactions.
Allowing unsupervised access to other pets.

Remember, your kitten is not being shy or unfriendly—they are learning that their new home is safe.

Setting Up a Safe Room for Your New Kitten

A safe room gives your kitten a secure place to adjust before exploring the rest of the home.

Ideal Safe Room Setup

Essentials

Litter box
Food dish
Water bowl or fountain
Comfortable bed
Scratching post
Toys
Hiding spots

Good Room Choices

Spare bedroom
Home office
Guest room

Avoid high-traffic areas if possible.

Why Safe Rooms Work

A smaller space helps kittens:

Learn where their resources are located
Feel secure
Build confidence gradually
Prevent accidents or injuries

Many kittens gain confidence much faster when given a manageable space first.

How Long Does It Take a Kitten to Adjust?

Every kitten is different.

Some kittens settle in within hours, while others may need several weeks.

A commonly used guideline is:

The 3-3-3 Rule

First 3 Days

Your kitten may:

Be cautious
Hide frequently
Sleep more
Eat less

First 3 Weeks

Your kitten begins:

Learning routines
Exploring more confidently
Building trust
Showing their personality

First 3 Months

Your kitten usually:

Feels fully at home
Establishes relationships with family members
Adapts to household routines

Confident kittens may adjust quickly, while sensitive kittens may require additional time and patience.

Introducing a New Kitten to Resident Cats

Proper introductions greatly increase the likelihood of long-term success.

Step 1: Separate Initially

Keep the new kitten in a safe room for several days while resident cats adjust to their scent.

Step 2: Scent Exchange

Exchange:

Blankets
Beds
Toys

This allows cats to become familiar with each other without direct contact.

Step 3: Controlled Visual Introductions

Use:

Baby gates
Screen barriers
Cracked doors

Reward calm behavior with treats and praise.

Step 4: Supervised Meetings

Allow short, positive interactions while supervising closely.

Normal Reactions

You may see:

Hissing
Growling
Staring
Mild avoidance

These are normal communication behaviors and do not necessarily indicate future problems.

Signs to Slow Down

Chasing
Cornering
Swatting with intent to harm
Persistent fear

Successful introductions often take days to weeks, not hours.

Introducing a Kitten to Dogs

Many kittens and dogs become wonderful companions when introductions are handled carefully.

Before the Introduction

Ensure your dog:

Understands basic commands
Can remain calm around distractions
Has appropriate impulse control

First Meetings

Keep your dog:

Leashed
Calm
Rewarded for appropriate behavior

Allow the kitten to choose whether to approach.

Provide Escape Routes

Kittens should always have access to:

Cat trees
Shelves
Baby-gated areas
Separate rooms

The kitten should never feel trapped.

Watch Body Language

Positive signs:

Curiosity
Relaxed posture
Gentle sniffing

Concerning signs:

Stiff body language
Fixated staring
Lunging
Chasing

Patience is critical. Relationships develop over time.

Common First-Week Behaviors and What They Mean

Hiding

Meaning: Your kitten is adjusting and seeking security.

Sleeping Frequently

Meaning: Growing kittens require significant rest, often 16–20 hours per day.

Following You Everywhere

Meaning: Your kitten is bonding and views you as a source of safety.

Vocalizing at Night

Meaning: Your kitten may miss littermates and familiar surroundings.

Zoomies

Meaning: Normal bursts of energy and play behavior.

Kneading

Meaning: Comfort and contentment.

Exploring Everything

Meaning: Healthy curiosity and confidence-building.

Most first-week behaviors are normal and temporary as your kitten learns about their new environment.

Why Your New Kitten May Hide

One of the most common concerns new owners have is that their kitten hides.

In most cases, hiding is completely normal.

Why Kittens Hide

Hiding helps kittens:

Feel safe
Reduce stress
Observe their surroundings
Adjust at their own pace

From a kitten’s perspective, a new home contains:

New people
New smells
New sounds
New routines

Hiding allows them to process all of this information safely.

How to Help

Sit quietly in the room.
Speak softly.
Offer treats nearby.
Use toys to encourage interaction.
Let the kitten approach you.

What Not to Do

Pull the kitten from hiding spots.
Force physical contact.
Chase the kitten.

Trust develops through positive experiences and patience.

When to Contact Your Breeder or Veterinarian

Seek advice if your kitten:

Refuses food for more than 24 hours
Shows signs of illness
Has diarrhea lasting more than a day
Appears lethargic
Remains extremely fearful for an extended period

Most kittens simply need time, patience, and reassurance to discover that their new home is a safe and loving place.
