Russian Blue Adoption Process

Your Russian Blue kitten adoption journey begins through our contact form, phone number, or email. Tell us where you live, which kitten or litter interests you, whether you prefer a male or female, and what kind of personality may suit your household.

We will discuss your family, schedule, children, current pets, previous cat experience, indoor living plans, and expectations for a companion. This is also your opportunity to ask about our breeding program, health care, available Russian Blue kittens, and the characteristics of the breed.

Russian Blues are intelligent, loyal, sensitive cats that appreciate steady routines and thoughtful introductions. We want each family to understand their temperament and care needs before moving forward.

Once we agree that a Russian Blue may be suitable for your family, we share current availability or information about an upcoming litter. Families receive updated photos, videos, and personality notes for kittens that may match their preferences.

Every kitten develops an individual personality. Some are energetic and curious, while others are calm, observant, or especially affectionate. We encourage families to consider temperament and household compatibility rather than choosing only by gender or appearance.

Approved families near Austin may request an appointment to meet us and see the home environment. When distance makes a visit impractical, we can arrange a live video introduction and continue sending updates. Families waiting for a future litter may join our waiting list.

The adoption application helps us understand your home, experience with animals, veterinary plans, other pets, household members, and preparation for kitten care. The questions are designed to support a safe and lasting placement, not to intimidate prospective families.

We look for families who understand that adopting a cat is a long term commitment and who are prepared to provide secure indoor living, appropriate nutrition, veterinary care, enrichment, and patient adjustment time.

First time cat owners are welcome. We provide education about food, grooming, litter boxes, scratching, play, home safety, and introductions to children or animals. We may follow up by phone when an answer needs clarification.

After approval, a $400 deposit reserves a specific available kitten and is applied to the final price. When no current kitten is the right match, a $200 waiting list deposit may hold your position for a future litter.

Before payment, you receive written information covering the kitten, remaining balance, pickup terms, and our 2 year genetic health guarantee. Once the reservation is confirmed, we share photos and videos so you can follow the kitten's development.

We also provide a preparation guide covering supplies, home safety, feeding, litter, scratching posts, a secure carrier, and the first adjustment period. Kittens go home at 13 weeks old after age appropriate veterinary care and important time with their mother and littermates.

As homecoming approaches, we coordinate a specific pickup or transportation plan. Personal pickup in Austin allows time to review feeding, litter habits, personality, records, the transition home, and any final questions.

Families receive the kitten's health examination information, vaccination and deworming records, microchip details, pedigree paperwork, care instructions, familiar food, and a nursery blanket. We explain what care is still due and when to contact your veterinarian.

For approved families elsewhere in Texas or another state, we can help arrange a flight nanny or licensed pet transporter. Safety, weather, distance, kitten comfort, and current travel requirements determine the appropriate option. See our pickup and delivery guide for more information.

Our relationship with adopting families continues after pickup. We check in during the adjustment period and remain available for practical questions about feeding, behavior, grooming, litter habits, scratching, and introductions to family members or pets.

Families often share photos and updates as their Russian Blues mature, and we enjoy seeing kittens thrive in their permanent homes. Regular veterinary care remains essential, and medical concerns should always be discussed with a licensed veterinarian.

If a concern may relate to the written health guarantee, contact us promptly and provide the relevant veterinary information. We will review the situation according to the guarantee terms and communicate with you about the next steps.
