We vet prospective pet purchasers at Somali Olympus to ensure that the kitten and its new owner are a suitable fit. We work hard to make sure that our kittens are put in loving, appropriate homes since we think responsible pet ownership is important. We evaluate a prospective owner's lifestyle, prior pet ownership history, and capacity to give our kittens with a loving and secure home as part of our screening process.
All pet kittens are spayed or neutered before delivery to the new owner.  This is an advantage to you as the future owner, as I take the risk of any problems, and is good for the kitten, as he or she recovers at home in familiar surroundings.  Kittens are sold at 16 weeks of age at the earliest.  At this age they have had all their kitten vaccinations and have been fully socialized.  Sometimes we may keep kittens longer - Somalis are notoriously slow to mature, and sometimes it takes a few extra months to determine whether a kitten will be suitable for showing.
Sometimes buyers want to get their kitten at a younger age, feeling that a younger kitten will "bond" better with the new owner.  This theory may apply to puppies, but does not apply to kittens.  Kittens need to be properly trained and socialized by the adult cats and humans before they are ready to go to new homes.  And since we give their final kitten vaccinations at 14 weeks, the new owner doesn't have to worry about vaccinations again until the cat is a year old.  For more information, see the article entitled
If, at some future time, you feel the pet cannot continue to be a part of your home, please contact the seller before making any other arrangements. The pet should never be put into a rescue situation or humane society but should be returned to the seller to be re-homed if necessary without any refund.
