Our Cattery
Our studs and altered room is 560 sq. feet. This room is used for our breeding boys and if any altered kitties. The breeder boys have 8 ft. long 6 ft. tall cages. They have their own central heat and air condition (their own private unit from the main house). We feel this is a must to keep our boys conformable. Our boys are let out daily, as we do not believe in caging an animal. Their cages are use for their breeding purposes, “time out”, and at nighttime. This gives me the chance to monitor their well-being. In this room there is a cement cat sitting bench for the males to court the Queens and for people to sit on.
Music is played 24 hours /7 days a week to hopefully “set the mood” with the Kings and Mistress. There is also an air purifier in this room to keep the air clean. An island was put in the middle of the room to use for their grooming.
The Queens are kept in the main house. They are the Heart and Soul of Sweetheaven. We strongly feel that our Queens need more one on one personal attention. They have free run of our home. They also have their own central air and heat unit as well as an air purifier. They have their own water fountains .. Our Queens and kittens (when of age) are raised with our dogs.
This room is 500 sq feet. This room is used to isolate a cat when they come home from the show as not to expose any germs to the rest of the household. It is also used for newly arrived cats/kittens. It has central air and heat as well. They also have their own private TV and housekeeper and housecleaner. It has the view of our horses and goats from a large siding glass door. The picture window, which brings great sunlight, has a beautiful view of the mountains.
This room is a 9x11 room where the Queen gives birth. We strongly believe this is a very stressful time for the Queen and deserves quiet. We feel at this time dogs should not be allowed, as we do not want to stress our girls. This room is my office where I can keep an eye on the Queen as well as this room has a birthing monitor, which allows me to see what is going on in this room through a camera from another room. I prefer to only have one Queen give birth at a time. This allows me to give all my attention to this Queen as well as the new babies. A Veterinarian is always on stand by if we should ever need one.
This room is continually changing. It is a nursery where we move the Queen to after 3-4 weeks depending on how well mom and babies are doing. This room has everything the kitten needs to learn their manners. This is the beginning of their socialization. The dogs are allowed in this room. We teach the kittens everything they need to know before leaving in this room. They are used to the vacuum, running water whether it is to be the shower or toilet flushing, blow dyers, etc. When they are 8 weeks, again depending how they are developing, they are added now to the main household following their first vaccine shot. They are now raised underfoot with the whole family.
The sick room is our bedroom where they can have free run of the room. I can monitor them in this room. This keeps all sick cats/kittens in one room and not to expose any other cats or kittens.
We have arranged to have these wonderful professionals available if we should ever need them for questioning or help. If you interested in one of Sweetheaven Kittens, please contact us by phone or e-mail us. Robert/Connie Walter
