About Us
About Joan kittens home
Joan Kitten’s home had been in the Foss family for 22 years on our ranch. Eventually, the ranch was divided between Sam and Alice Foss’s heirs. Sam’s youngest son Lee and wife Suzy Foss began their share of the ranching business in 1982.
Our kittens are ranch-raised and well-socialized and we run full-panel genetic testing on all of our cats (all our kittens are 100% clear on full-panel genetic testing). We ship our kittens after appropriate training and all will be current for age-appropriate shots and worming. We want all of our kittens placed in happy, healthy homes and guarantee them or we will take them back. References are available upon request.
Our goal is to ensure every life we bring into being, be it Colt or kittens, that these precious lives be prepared for the world beyond our ranch. The kittens from birth to six weeks are handled daily and stimulated by a series of gentle movements that build up stress response to the point that by six weeks the kittens can handle changes in environment, noise levels, sudden moves, and the activity of ranch life with total aplomb. The kittens are exposed to the noise and constant activity of ranch life, visitors, and family. Our grandchildren are major helpers in the desensitizing of the kittens, their socialization, and of course, being showered with love and gentle handling. Our ranch has regular visits by elk, deer, bears, coyotes nightly, Sand Hill cranes, and eagles, and the cattle and horses are pastured within 20 feet of the kittens play yard.
Our buyers have all been raving about how calm and happy the kittens are when they first come out of the crate they have been shipped in across the country. They assimilate into new homes effortlessly. We try to keep a relationship with our new members of the Charming Kittens family, asking for progress reports, photos, and success stories. We guarantee our kittens to be healthy and sound and should a pup not work out we will either credit for another kitten or refund the purchase price if the issue is due to genetic fault. If a kitten needs rehoming due to unexpected life issues we will do all we can to assist to accomplish it and to ensure a quality home. In the event your kitten or dog needs rehoming, it is required that we have the first option on the cat or kitten.
