"They become part of our family before they become part of yours."
__________________________________________
For Peanut's litter you can look to "Glory" and for Sandra's litter
look to "Breezy" on our "Shows Attending" page to get an idea of what the kittens will look like. We will post pictures
in about three or four weeks.

Introducing New Lines
Together
these two litters are our first introduction of the two new bloodlines we have spent the last two years incorporating into
our lines. Patches (100% ProcurlHarem bloodlines) was bred to Curl Essence Saved by Grace, a seal point. His dam is from Curlniques
(breed founders) original bloodlines.
Saved is
a smaller male, than we have had, with a dynamite profile! We’ve reduced our size and boning and improved our
profiles, with these Curlniques introductions, which is improving our overall conformation to the American Curl Breed Standard
requirements.
BTW, Saved
By Grace got his name because Grace literally SAVED HIS LIFE. He was an emergency C-section and the only
kitten born alive out of the litter. Grace came to our house in response to our call for help. She and her daughter set up
a shift rotation to be with Mom (Grace’s queen) and the kitten, after surgery, to bottle feed the kitten and assist
Mom as she came off the drugs,(and had some unusual reactions to them!) It didn’t look hopeful at first, but with
everyone taking turns so that he had care 24 hours a day, we were successful in getting him to the point he could nurse on
his own and Mom was back to normal and taking care of him. It took a year to get this one cat from this particular bloodline.
But it was important to both of us to preserve this line since his dam is closer in her pedigree to Shulamith, the first American
Curl, than most living Curls today.

Curl Essence Light of My Life, "Lily"
Female Blue Mac Tabby
Dam: Curl Essence Mae Westcurl, "Mae"
Sire: Curl Essence Saved By Grace
|
New picture taken 12/6/09.
Lily is a little younger than the other kittens but she holds her own. Someone forgot to tell her she's smaller
than the others.
Picture above taken 12/6/09. Lily is a lighter blue than Hope. She will be called a "blue cream"
which means that she is light blue with a light undercoat. In the light, there is the slightest hint of red on her back.
It could fade or get darker. If it gets more prominate, she will be a "blue cream patched".

Picture below taken 12/6/2009.
The picture above as taken almost exactly one month before the 3 new ones taken on 12/6/09. Notice the difference
that 4 weeks makes in development.

Introducing Gaelicurls Earrelavant's, "Peanut", New Litter - Arrived 10/01/2008

Curl Essence Heaven's Trumpet, "Trump"
Male Color Point
[likely Seal Lnyx Point, or Choc. Lynx Point]
Dam: Gaelicurls Earrelavant
Sire: CH Curl Essence Cimarron
|
The picture above was taken on 12/6/09. On the left is Trump. To the right of Trump is Ruffy.
This picture was taken on 12/6/09. The babies had just gotten their morning canned food which is almost like an
adrelin high for them. They are sooo happy after we feed them, they rough-house with each other for the next half an
hour. They move so fast that by the time we click the picture, they've moved.
This is a picture of Trump and Dean. Dean is on top and Trump is on the bottom.

The picture above was taken on 12/6/09. We had to correct the red eye. He really has blue eyes.

Curl Essence Redeemed, "Dean"
Male Color Point
[Likely Seal Point or Choc. Point, and may show Lynx Point]
R E S E R V E D
|
The picture above was taken on 12/6/09. We'll try to post more of Dean and Trump this weekend. These two
were so busy this morning, it was hard to get a decent shot that was not a blur. Dean and Trump are both going to be
petite kitties. Their mom is no more than 5&1/2 lb full grown and very small boned, so any Peanut babies are also
going to be smaller when they are full grown and have finer boning.
Again, we had to adjust for the red eye. Both boys are seal points with blue eyes.

-
Viewing at 10 weeks old
-
Pick up in person at the house at 12-14 weeks old
-
Shipped at 14-16 weeks old
-
All shipping and vet costs are actual cost. If we have to ship, plan on $55
for the carrier. (I use a medium size carrier ($45) so I can include a plush pad ($11). The pad takes 1/2
the carrier so there is a portion available outside the pad for shredded paper (in lieu of litter... airlines don't
let me include litterboxes anymore). This is for the kitten's comfort and so kitten doesn't arrive dirty. Having to
give your new baby a bath on his/her first night home is not a great way to start your relationship.
-
Cost for health certs is $116.
-
$25 for rabies if required for shipping (Calif requires if shipping over 4 mo
of age. We will ship at 15 wks to avoid if possible).
-
For pet quality, we neuter for you for $56... again, neutering right after arrival is
not the best way to tell your new baby how much you love him. This charge includes a mild antibiotic after the surgery
to make sure baby doesn't have any problems. They can ship 3 days after neutering... 7 days after spay as
long as they don't have any complications from the surgeries. Spaying is more... but between $155-$200.... sometimes,
I can get a better price from the vet with plenty of notice, I can arrange for spaying at $115.
