FurryDance is a small cattery, located in Northern Virgina just outside of Washington, D.C. We have been breeding Cornish Rex exclusively since 1988, and share our home with two breeding females, one stud male, our special retired showcats and a Sphynx cat, Disco NoFurNo, to keep the Rexes entertained.
We breed with health and temperament foremost in mind to produce
strong, stable and loving kittens. We screen our breeding cats annually
for heart soundness, and they all get annual wellness exams and
lab work including tests for contagious diseases and internal parasites. We
do not give our own vaccinations, but prefer for our veterinarian to see them
for their physicals and vaccinations when needed.
We have two to three litters a year, and usually we wait until there are kittens reserved before we breed
our cats. That way, we know we have good homes for the kittens before
they are born. This also gives us the chance to become familiar with a
prospective pet owner and what they want and desire in a new kitten. Then
we can work with them to pick a kitten whose looks and personality will enable it to fit perfectly into its new owner's lifestyle.
We choose homes for our cats very carefully. We are also available for any questions or problems that may arise after a new owner takes home one of our cats. Maintaining this ongoing relationship is very important to us.
We ask $1350 for a pet quality kitten, which includes the cost of spaying/neutering and microchipping, all performed before you adopt your kitten. This may be a show quality kitten, but already spayed or neutered, or may be a kitten that isn't show quality due to smaller ears, less coat or bigger boning, but still a very nice Cornish Rex. Occasionally, we have an older kitten or an adult cat for which we will negotiate the price, accordingly.
We keep our kittens until they are 4 months old, are completely
weaned, vaccinated, neutered or spayed, micro chipped, and old enough to be shipped by air safely.
We would be happy to give you references from all the people who have
cats bred by Furry Dance, and please feel free to call or e-mail
us if you have any further questions or are interested in learning
what cats we may currently have available.
