what is a kitten experience?

• Absolutely! First tip is… they are nothing like puppies.

• Kittens can be easily spooked so avoid yelling, running, quick sudden movements or other disruptive behavior.

• Approach the kittens in a calm and relaxed manner.

• Keep your voice at a normal volume

• The toys in the klubhouse are kitten tested and approved.

• Be aware, bare legs are fair game to kittens

• We have artwork inside the klubhouse that illustrates kitten moods and cues to help you understand what they may be feeling.

• If you have any other questions, our klubhouse kounselor is there to assist

For the health and safety of our fosters, outside cats are not permitted in the kitten klubhouse. We understand you may be wanting to see how your cat reacts to a kitten before bringing one home, but this is not the right time or place. We can connect you with our partner rescue for help.

There are dozens of visitors to the kitten klubhouse each day and being picked up multiple times by multiple people can cause the kittens stress. Stressed kittens will hide and not benefit or develop from their klubhouse experience. Now if one hops into your lap, enjoy it! If one is acting like it wants to be picked up, ask the klubhouse kounselor for assistance.

We have partnered with Killer Kitties Rescue of Stanly County to provide foster care for their rescues. They ensure all our kittens are healthy and ready for the kitten klubhouse experience. They have had full medical exams, have been spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated.

We are experienced kitten owners (actually, our cats own us!) and have created what we believe is a safe and comfortable space for our fosters to thrive and interact on their terms. It is way better than a cage at a pet store. If our klubhouse kounselors, or our partner rescue volunteers, see a kitten that appears unhappy, stressed or not adapting well, we will make alternate foster arrangements for the kitten.

Let the klubhouse kounselor know which kitten you would like to adopt and we will work with Killer Kitties Rescue to arrange a private meeting for your entire family.

By booking more kitten experiences! Visiting and playing with our fosters is a tremendous help! Inside the kitten klubhouse you will see a QR code in which you can make monetary donations directly to Killer Kitties Rescue. 10% of proceeds from premade candle sales will be donated to our partner, so buy a candle on your way out.

We can accept in-kind donations of food, litter, supplies and toys that are unopened. What we are not able to use will be donated to Killer Kitties Rescue.
