Ida Red's First Kittens

Ida Red had her first litter of kittens early this morning. She is doing very well. We are excited to see what our first litter from a tortie girl has as far as colors. She has a wide variety of possibilities, including red males, tortie females, and all the other colors.

Dakota Gold is retiring

Dakota our beautiful red point male is retiring. He has had some wonderful kittens for us throughout the years and we are so glad to have had him as one of our foundation studs. Unfortunately he could not produce any blue babies, so we are needing to move to a new boy that can do that for us. He is wonderfully gentle and loves nothing more than to cuddle up next to us and purr - that is unless you count rolling over to have his tummy rubbed! He is a total lap cat and will sit on your lap through a whole movie without getting down. He has gorgeous blue eyes and he gets along with everyone he meets. We think he is the best! He will fit in well with any family, but would probably prefer a quiet home with another cat or two to socialize with. He has not had very much experience with children and no experience with dogs, but his personality is such that we are sure he would adjust eventually if you are willing to be patient with him. For more pictures and adoption information see our retiring breeder page.

Ready, set - going home!

Bailey's kittens are heading to their new homes next week. They are so cuddly. I've had all 5 of them wanting to sit on my lap at once...and they all are begging for kisses lately. It's very sweet. We will miss them when they go, but are so excited for their new families to finally meet them.

Dora's kittens are almost litter trained, so hopefully they will start running the house soon. They are super sweet and floppy kittens. They run up to me when I go into their room and they beg me to sit down so they can climb on my lap and snuggle. We have 6 little girls and one boy in the litter and we hope to introduce them with pictures and descriptions on our kitten page in a couple of weeks.

Nova's kittens are just starting to crawl out of the nest. They are already wanting to be involved in everything I'm doing, whether it's sweeping or filling the food bowl. It's funny to see them moving around so fast, since their legs seem barely long enough to keep their bellies off the floor :-). We have some super social and cuddly kittens in this bunch.

Full house

We have a full house here at Little Apple this October! It's fun to have a bunch of little ones all at different stages.

Bailey's kittens are about 12 weeks old and in full kitten play mode. We are enjoying their funny ways! Everything is a game to them - even picture taking time. They want to play with the camera, play with the afghan (they bite the little balls - see below), and play with anything that comes their way (a tail passing by perhaps!). It is a lot of fun.

Dora's kittens are about 3 weeks old now and so sweet! They are running around their room now and exploring everything. They are already playing with the broom when I sweep and begging me to sit down so they can climb on my lap. They just started to eat solid food and soon will start litter training!

Nova's kittens are about 1 week old now and so tiny compared to our other kittens (even though they are big for their age). Their eyes are not yet open, but they are already interacting with me. When I lay down with my head in their nest they come up to me and they purr when I pet them. Several of them love to lay on their back with their stomachs fully exposed while they are sleeping...it is so adorable!
