Our family...
We are a typical (ish—haha) family, which includes myself, my husband, our three boys (12, 15, & 17), the furballs, and a cockatiel named 'Bandit'. The bird is probably the most opinionated member of the family, but I digress. We live about 30 minutes outside of Seattle in a large home on nearly an acre of land. Both my husband and I work as Real Estate Brokers, which means we largely work from home and spend a lot of quality time together as a family, and with the floofs.
Our cats (usually) roam our house freely, just like any other pet. They hang out with the family during the day, and often sleep with the kids at night. These cats love being around their people. Gus has a special bond with my youngest son, often seeking him out. I frequently find them snuggled up 'playing video games' or watching movies together—like two little peas in a pod. Meanwhile, Ivy loves to nap on me and enjoys watching us cook from her favorite kitchen stool. Sounds weird, but that’s her thing- She's judgy about it too! Mia has a special connection with Jason; if he sits on the couch, she’s usually on his lap in about 30 seconds.
The point is, these cats aren’t just beautiful; they’re exceedingly friendly. Sometimes a bit overly so—that’s by design. We firmly believe that cats should be affectionate and seek out attention from their humans, rather than hiding when kids enter the room or guests show up.
You may have encountered breeders who refuse to sell kittens to families with young kids. They claim that kids are too rowdy or that a kitten might get hurt. We think that’s BS. Of course, it’s crucial to teach children to respect animals, especially tiny kittens. But cats have six ends, five of which are pointy. If your kid is too rough, they’ll likely receive a swift correction in the form of a scratch. Most kids are smart enough to figure that one out.
That being said, our kittens will be handled by our entire family from birth and will go to their new homes already accustomed to the chaos of a normal household. With our three boys, including one who is severely autistic and thinks zooming through the kitchen on his hoverboard is 100% reasonable, our home is anything but quiet. Kids (and sometimes parents) yell, doors slam, vacuums are a thing, etc.
Our babies will come to your home ready to be part of your family.
