DivaKits Kitten Application
I try to be as minimally invasive to my buyers as possible while still obtaining enough information to ensure that my kittens go to the best possible furr-ever homes. If I choose you as the new Mom of Dad for one of my kittens, you will be required to sign a contract which includes these and a few more stipulations:
About the Kitten
Please specify which traits you are seeking in a kitten., ie, short legs/folded ears.
Are you inquiring about a specific kitten? If so, what is the kitten's name?
Are you interest in a male or female?
About Your Home
Please email the answer to the application questions to connie_starr@aol.com.
We reserve the right to deny any sale.
Shipping:
We do NOT ship our kittens as cargo.
We once purchased a cat from Iowa. It was a one year old male. The breeder had to drop the cat at the airport 2 hours before the flight. They left him in a large warehouse for that time, then transferred him to the plane into cargo with a bunch of others animals and crates. I cringe at putting one of my tiny kittens through that. Then I had to wait until someone unloaded the cargos and brought him to another warehouse where I picked him up. I promised myself I would never ship cargo. It was too crude. The service we hired is very different. They provide door to door service, but we opted to drive to the airport to avoid rental car fees for the buyer. We hand delivered our kitten to the man. He flew on the airplane with the kitten on coach, not in cargo. Then the buyer picked up her kitten right from the person. This is a MUCH safer way for our tiny kittens to travel. Shipping cargo costs about $300 plus $50 for the carrier. Using this service can costs $400. We will discount the difference between the price to help, but it must all be approved by us first.
Courier fess have increased drastically. Luckily, my father in now retired and is willing to transport kittens as long as the fees are covered.

If for any reason, you cannot keep your kitten for the entirety of its life, you will contact me immediately. I will never turn my back on any of my cats regardless of age. I will either find them a new home or keep them.- You will never declaw the kitten. Cat claws are NOT nails. De-clawing is an amputation. No reputable veterinarian will ever perform this procedure. There are many other options. Contact me for information.
- You will keep the new kitten indoor at all times unless they're supervised. Munchkins cannot protect themselves from predatory attacks. What they lack in leg length, they make up for in courage. They do not understand that they are at a huge disadvantage.
