The kittens and retired cats on this page are reserved and awaiting their new homes. Pictures will be taken periodically and loaded into this page to keep future kitten owners updated on the level of cuteness they can look forward to ;). If you have a kitten on the way, please visit this page to see if I have updated pictures before requesting them. I take pictures as often as possible and will sometimes take videos and pictures at your request, but my photo sessions take planning, time, and the mama cats' patience, so please be understanding if I can't get to it right away or if I request that you wait to see your kitten until you can hold him/her in your arms. I call it cuteness torture to make you wait, especially at the end of your wait.
If you are awaiting the arrival of your kitten, please be sure to prepare for him or her. See the bottom of this page for ways to prepare, how to order Life's Abundance food to lengthen your Nevada Rain Health Guarantee, and more.
Nora is a black golden dwarf, 75% British Shorthair English Muffin female. She is from genetically clear parents for all disorders. She has a splendid eye shape and is so adorable and sweet I can't even handle it. She had a 50% chance of being DBE but I don't think she is. Her eyes will likely be green.

Pallini, now renamed MORTis a blue silver, spotted, dwarf, 50% British Shorthair English Muffin male. He is from genetically clear parents for all disorders. His parents are both social butterflies who love love. He is a real lover too. We have collected this little fellow's dna and sent it off to see if he carries glitter. He does carry glitter, but we've decided to keep his non-dwarf brother, Cliff, due to the fact that dwarf breeding males take longer to begin breeding. Pallini is genetically tested and is clear for all disorders tested upon. He is adorable too! He's got magnificent, big spots. He's going to be such a handsome cat when he grows up.

Morris is a non-dwarf, possibly DBE or OE black golden spotted, English Muffin. Morris and his siblings are 75% British Shorthair and will grow up to have a gorgeous and adorable round face and a perfectly plush coat. British Shorthairs males tend to have magnificent coats and wonderfully full, round faces. Males also tend to be bigger than females. Morris will be such a gorgeous gentlecat his whole life. I do not believe him to be DBE or OE at this time, so he will likely have either gold or green eyes.

We haven't had a red golden kitten in a long time and Pumpkin and his brothers and sisters sure do make this fall truly special. Pumpkin doesn't appear to be DBE and his price has been to reduced due to this. He's gorgeous and unique and a little fall punkin.

Preparing for your Kitten(s)
- Order Life's Abundance at least a week before your kitten is due to arrive by clicking on the "Order Life's Abundance" button on our homepage. Your kitten is currently eating All Life Stages cat food (regular, not grain free) in an orange and white bag, I also hear that Life's Abundance is going to get back their Instinctive Choice wet canned food, and he/she is also eating supplements from Life's Abundance. Please order your kitten's food from my homepage so I can easily ensure that your kitty is getting Life's Abundance. Your health guarantee is extended from one to five years if you keep him/her on Life's Abundance food but you MUST order it from my homepage and then I can check my customers' list to see that you have been ordering food. I truly believe this to be the best food out there.
- Get a litter box and litter. Kittens/Cats are very smart and can truly figure out any litter box or litter robot (just remember that litter robots require that kittens are a certain weight before they can be safely used). We have open top litter boxes and a litter robot here at NV Rain. If you are worried about a munchkin being able to get in a taller sided litter box, they are completely capable of getting into a tall litter box and even jumping into a litter robot even if the steps are not on it. We use wood pellet litter and completely remove all pellets and replace with fresh pellets rather than scoop litter boxes. When you get your kitten home, set him/her in the litter box and make him/her feel comfortable in it for a few seconds. You can even dig next to the front legs which could encourage your kitty to use the bathroom. Our tiny kittens first use a litter box with pine pellets as if they ingest the pine, their little digestive system's can digest it, but once they leave Nevada Rain, they are fully aware that they should not eat litter, so our weaned kittens and adults all have Douglas fir pellets in their litter boxes.
- Have a room prepared for your kitten in your home. Put all of the necessities, the litter box, food and water dishes and a soft bed in one room of your house until your kitten is using the litter box regularly, eating and drinking and has grown comfortable with their new family and new home. Once they seem to get bored in their room AND they are using the litter box regularly and eating and drinking, you can let them roam about the house or an additional room or two, while attending to them for a bit and then you should be fine to let them have the run of the house. ;) This is especially important in order to accomplish good litter box habits. Your home is a completely new environment, so knowledge of where the litter box is, is extremely important.
- Are you introducing your Nevada Rain Kitten to another pet in the home? If so, if this is done delicately, they should get along well. I suggest doing some research of your own before you get your new Nevada Rain Kitten, but I suggest that you get them used to each other's smells first. Take your new kitty's blanket that smells like them and swap that blanket with your established pet's blanket. If they don't have one, a towel will work and you can really just rub it on them or pet them with it just so it smells like them, but ideally you should leave it in their bed so the smell of them is thoroughly on the towel or blanket. The first thing that is alarming to your pets is that they don't know how to feel about this new smell in the house. Is this new smell a nice pet or a mean pet? Should I be nervous? Will I need to defend myself? Once you've swapped blankets and they begin to smell each other's scents, give both of them some gentle affection. If there is any hissing or bristling of hair, just leave the blanket in their bed. Your pets will also learn of each other's scents under the door. They will go nose to nose with each other without your knowledge. Once they don't seem to even notice there is a new smell, move their food dishes right next to the door on each side. They will learn that they can eat near each other and everything is just fine. They can smell and hear better than we can, so they will know what's going on on the other side of that door. When you think they are both ready, you can bring the new kitten out and place him/her on your lap. You can play with him/her and maybe your other pet will join in. NEVER FORCE AN INTERACTION BETWEEN YOUR PETS. My daughters used to do this when they were little. They would introduce kitties by placing them nose to nose and talking for the kitties. These interactions are forced and if there is ever any hissing, a forced interaction could result in negativity toward each other and you or your kitten could get hurt. You want to be there 100% of the time for the first few interactions between your older pet and your new kitten. If your other pet goes and hides, just let him or her go. Cats are most active at night, so your cats will probably get to know each other the most at night. Make all of it positive. Play with both pets, love on both pets, and allow them to interact naturally as long as all is going well. If there is a negative interaction, like hissing, put your new kitten back in her small room and give them some space for a bit and start again tomorrow. Things might be a little tense for a day or even a week or so, but eventually your pets will figure out how to co-exist. Some pets will absolutely fall in love with each other, while others keep their distance. Younger pets seem to acclimate to a newby in the house more quickly than older pets. If you're just now getting your first kitty, but you know that you'll eventually get another one, consider getting two now. If you get two Nevada Rain Kittens at once, the price of the second kitten is decreased. Getting two siblings or two kittens raised together will already be bonded when you get them.
- Show your new kitten a lot of love, playtime and attention. If your kitten is a little shy or skittish, that's normal, but it's okay to scoop up your kitty and just sit and love on him/her many times a day or give them a good play session. Sometimes it takes a kitten some time to settle into a new home and sometimes they make themselves at home immediately. Adult cats and older kittens usually take extra time to adapt to a new home and bond with their new family, but your love, attention, and patience will pay off. Please plan on devoting weeks or even months to making your new older kitten or adult cat settled in. You won't regret putting in the time. Some kittens are extremely affectionate and others would rather come curl up on your lap without your petting them at all.
- Your kitten will come with a basket of goodies which includes a toy or two, a soft blanket, a sample of LA food, paperwork and possibly some supplements and/or treats, depending on what I have on hand. I usually include a packet or two of Fortiflora, which is my favorite probiotic. I always have some on hand and I recommend that you do too, especially right after you bring your kitty home. Their immune systems will benefit from the boost in their tummy's health during this transition. It also smells great which will attract your kitty to his food, when he/she might be pretty scared and avoiding their food. I recommend sprinkling half of the packet on their food once a day for the first few days after you get them. If you are worried that your kitty isn't hydrated, feel free to soak the Life's Abundance kibble I send with them in warm, not hot, water and then sprinkling the fortiflora on top.
