EVERMORE MUNCHKIN KITTENS

HOME OF THE FINEST MUNCHKIN KITTENS

Welcome to Munchkin Kitten Cattery

Our kittens are much more regarded as part of the family or fur kids! We are not in support of back yard breeding. We breed and raise our kittens in a home environment with lots of care, love and attention and cages/kennels are not used. Moms and babies upstairs with us and our kennel is sited in the basement. We also have 6 large separated rooms which gives our kittens a lot of space to run around, feel free and play with each other likewise, in the back of the house is an enclosed deck for the dogs.

About the Breed

Munchkin cats are ordinary domestic cats that have extraordinarily short legs due to a natural genetic mutation. Discovered in the UK in the 1940s, the short-legged lineage was perpetuated by breeding, but it wasn't until 2003 that munchkins were accepted as an official breed by The International Cat Association

Despite their controversial breed status, munchkin cats make loving pets that delight their owners with humorous antics like scurrying after toys in a "ferret-like" fashion and sitting upright like rabbits. Munchkin cats are cute, short-legged felines that look and act like the breed(s) in their family history. There is a controversy involving the ethics of breeding cats with abnormally short legs, but the breed appears to be healthy and free of skeletal issues such as those that affect the Scottish fold. If you have no qualms about perpetuating the anatomical abnormality of the munchkin breed, then you will enjoy the playful and friendly companionship of this unique cat.

Munchkins are sometimes compared to ferrets in the way that they run and play on their short legs, but they are bona fide felines. Because munchkins may be bred to a wide variety of domestic cats, an individual cat's personality will depend on its inheritance. All-in-all, munchkins have been described as loving, sociable, and playful by their devoted fans.

Care

Grooming the munchkin's short coat sheds minimally. Weekly brushing with a medium-bristle brush, a rubber grooming mitt or tool, or a hound glove will help to remove shed hair and keep him looking his best. Brushing promotes new hair growth and distributes skin oils throughout the coat to help keep it healthy. A munchkin's facial folds should be kept clean and dry. The Munchkin's nails should be trimmed regularly, as overly long nails can cause him pain.

Training

Shorthaired cats should be brushed weekly and long-haired cats should be brushed a couple of times per week. Regular brushing helps prevent hairballs and matting. You should also trim your cat's nails, help your cat maintain oral hygiene by brushing its teeth a couple of times per week, and get regular cleanings at the veterinarian

Nutrition

Your munchkin cat should be fed the same diet as any other cat. A munchkin is a medium-sized cat with a weight and body mass that is not significantly affected by having short legs. A wet food diet is often considered best, but you can leave out dry food for your cat to snack on as well. Discuss your cat's needs with your veterinarian, especially if your cat has diabetes, is obese, or is older. Provide fresh, clean water for your cat at all times.

All of our breeding Munchkin cats undergo a series of health tests to screen for various possible hereditary diseases, including HCM (heart) by a specialized cardiologist. These measures avoid many problems for our cats, our Munchkin kittens for sale and their future owners.

• HCM (heart condition)
