Raised With Love. Ready For Yours.

Every kit born in our back room is handled from three weeks, raised alongside our children and house cats, and loved long before they ever meet you.

Between Litters

The next litter is already being planned.

Families on the waiting list get first notice — often before kits are even announced publicly. No commitment required, just your name and a note about what you're looking for.

We were terrified he'd nip our toddler. Six months later, they nap together on the couch — Pepper curled right under Maisie's chin like he's always been there.

Three weeks old. Already learning what love feels like.

From the moment kits can hear, they're handled. By the time they're eight weeks old, they've been held by every person in this house — including the six-year-old who insists on carrying them like a football. That's not a bug. That's the feature.

Daily handling from 3 weeks

We start gentle handling before their eyes open. By week five, they're used to hands, voices, movement, and the occasional dog nose investigating from a safe distance.

Raised underfoot, not in a cage

Our kits grow up in the living room. They hear the TV, the kids arguing over cartoons, the kettle boiling. Nothing spooks them because nothing is unfamiliar.

Introduced to cats & children

Every kit meets our house cats before they leave. They also meet children of different ages — gentle toddler hands and confident eight-year-old energy both.

When we lost Cleo, I wasn't sure I was ready. But Jill remembered exactly which litter she came from. Luna arrived knowing how to be part of a family — she just slotted right in with our two older girls.

A health promise written on paper — and kept in practice.

Every kit leaves with a written health guarantee, vet records, and Jill's personal number. If something goes wrong in the first year, you call me directly. Not a form. Not a policy page. Me.

1-year health guarantee

Genetic conditions within the first year are covered. We stand behind every kit we place — because we've already fallen in love with them first.

Documented lineage

We track bloodlines carefully. If you want a second kit from the same litter — or the same parents — we can make that happen. We've placed siblings three years apart.

Lifetime breeder support

Questions about diet, behavior, vet recommendations in your area — text or email anytime. Families who adopted five years ago still check in. That's how we like it.

Our daughter had been asking for a ferret for two years. We drove from Lexington. The moment Jill put Hazel in Rosie's arms, she looked at us like — *this one*. No hesitation. She slept the whole drive home.
