General
health
- all our kittens are fully vet checked before going to new homes |
 |
Temperament
- we guarantee our kittens are well-socialised and have excellent
temperaments. All our kittens are house-reared. |
 |
Kitten's
Parentage
- all our kittens are bred from pedigreed cats registered with
the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy, Victoria & Australia (GCCFV). |
 |
Ocicat
generations
- all our Ocicat kittens are fully pedigreed Ocicat kittens.
The
rare exceptions to this will be when the kitten is part of the "Oz Catz
Supplementary Breeding Program", in which case, the kitten will be
clearly identifiable by its title - for instance, OZSPOTS MARY (Gen 3).
The postscript, Gen 3, identifies this kitten as a third generation
Ocicat. The reason is that as Ocicats are a relatively new breed and the
gene pool is small world-wide, established breeders may obtain special
permission from their registration body (in our case, the GCCFV) to breed
Ocicats back to pedigreed Abyssinians, one of the foundation cats of the
Ocicat breed. In this way, we can widen the gene pool and maintain the
health, strength and vitality of the Ocicat breed. Kittens which are Gen
2 or Gen 3 Ocicats are not different by sight to a full generation Ocicat
(that is a Gen 4 or more) and possess all the personality, character and
temperament of the regular Ocicat.

Kitten
Starter Pack
- we provide an excellent assortment of kitten products and services to
help new kitten owners. We
are very passionate about responsible pet ownership and assist new kitten
owners to continue the care and love we have given the kitten in its first
months of life. |
 |
Vaccinations
- our kittens receive at least their first kitten vaccination at 9 to 10
weeks old. Kitten
usually require
a course of Fevac F3 vaccinations, at 9-10 weeks, at 13-14 weeks and at 17-18
weeks old after which they require boosters yearly for life. If kittens
are travelling overseas, we ensure the kittens have the correct vaccinations
(either Fevac F3 or Fevac F4) depending on their destination, as well as
rabies vaccinations if required. |
 | Worming -
our kittens are wormed with Amex Two all-wormer tablets every 2 weeks from 6
weeks of age until they leave us or are 12 weeks old. Then, the
kittens need worming every month until 6 months old, then every 3 months for
life.
For kittens destined for overseas, we follow the requirements for the
destination country. |
 | Flea -
we do not flea our kittens and we guarantee they do not have fleas when they
leave us. Once
the kitten is 12 weeks of age, it needs flea treatment regularly in
conjunction with the worming treatment - the frequency of this depends on the
product used. |
