We are doing the best we can in placing our kittens in homes that they will enjoy for the life of the kitten. This means responsible adopting families will be able to love and care for their new kitten for many years. The average age of a cat is between 15 and 20 years. There are many things involved with bringing a new life into your home; all of this needs to be part of the decision process you as an adopting family need to take into consideration.
