KITTENS
7th Heaven Oriental kittens are raised with all the love, consideration and care possible from the day they are born. I don't have any children so I consider my kittens and cats my "substitute children." Besides being lovely to look at, my kittens are well known for their outgoing, affectionate and gentle personalities.
To me, health, temperament and looks are all equally important and I strive to breed for these qualities.
-
Kittens are generally ready to go to their new homes around four months of age -- a perfect time for them to adjust to new families without undue stress on their immune systems and yet, young enough for their new families to enjoy that adorable kitten phase.
-
Kittens come with a health guarantee and all necessary vaccinations. It is recommended that kittens be taken to the veterinarian for a well-kitten exam within the first 72 hours.

SHIPPING: PLEASE NOTE: Since United Airlines is no longer shipping pets, in the US at least, and because I am now living just below the US border in MEXICO ( just south of Rosarito, 28 miles south of San Diego), I am no longer shipping my cats and kittens, period. Pick up for one of my kittens or cats is in San Diego or slightly south of that. (NOTE: As per COVID restrictions, there is currently no Pet Shipping in the US - hopefully soon!)
Show kittens or cats available occasionally and VERY SELECTIVELY to thoroughly screened individuals.
Contract Terms: Kittens are sold with a spay/neuter agreement or are spayed/neutered if they are a bit older.
*Kittens or cats may NOT be "de-toed" (de-clawed) as this is a mutilation -- our kittens are easily trained to use appropriate scratching posts.
*Kittens must be indoor-only for their safety and welfare.
***I look forward to hearing from you! Write to me! marva@kittykouch.com
* Loving and healthy retired young show or breeding cats are sometimes available.
Please take a look at our Retired Adults page if you are interested!
PLEASE READ : HOW TO ADOPT A 7TH HEAVEN KITTEN
I generally have a litter or two of kittens either on the way or in some stage of development. I start photographing them at around one month of age. At about 8-9 weeks of age, after they are firmly eating solid food, they will be posted to this site, with AVAILABLE kittens noted - and then they can be OPTIONED (putting a verbal hold on the baby).
I DO NOT HAVE A WAIT LIST - SORRY!!
If you are interested, please email me! Adoption prices are never listed here.
Include the following information:
-
Where you live
-
Your family and any other pets
-
Your lifestyle
-
Any other information you think is important or useful
This information is very much welcome and necessary and will be used to determine if yours is a good home for one of our babies - and vice versa.
THIS KITTEN PAGE IS UPDATED WITH INFORMATION AND PHOTOS OFTEN!
PLEASE CHECK BACK! SCROLL DOWN...
AVAILABLE: Means that this kitten is currently available for adoption. Available kitten photos and information are posted at about 8 weeks of age.
OPTION: Means that there is a verbal hold (only) on this kitten, but nothing has been finalized. Feel free to contact me about the kitten in case this does not go through - ALTHOUGH THAT IS QUITE RARE.
RESERVED: The kitten has a home waiting for it. Kittens are RESERVED (with a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit) once they have had their first vaccinations (10 weeks) and have come through that in good health (11 weeks).
DEPOSITS: Reserving a kitten requires a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit. If you have reserved a kitten and you change your mind about taking the kitten, you will lose your deposit. If because of unforeseen circumstances I cannot give you the kitten, your deposit will be refunded.
KITTEN NEWS: March 31, 2023
Life is a moving target!
Taking a deep breath... One day at a time : Life in 2022 was full of challenges and the totally unexpected... a BIG MOVE from the SoCAL High Desert - to where I am now living - JUST BELOW the San Diego border - IN BAJA MEXICO! YES! Me and the cats... We have a little fixer upper home - that I OWN - three moves in the past year and, for now, we are staying put. The cats love this quiet, calm space, end of an unpaved road - and the occasional wandering un-owned horses, right out the front door! We moved in this new (to us) house, July 1st, 2022. Where we are living in a little friendly mix and match town, called Primo Tapia. Looking down from our home, on a spectacular panorama, and refreshed by a gentle ocean breeze, sparkling clean and cool air.
I have some kitten photos below. There is a WAIT for kittens. Be patient! Although I do not have a formal WAIT LIST, my kittens go to new homes in chronological order - WRITING the DATE from when I start a dialog/conversation with someone interested. I DO want to always "get to know" people who will be welcoming my kittens into their families. So it is important that we have this ongoing conversation. I know that some people want to just buy a kitten, like buying something from a store. But this is my longtime serious hobby - and I do not do things like that.
Get in touch and I will send you more information about these amazing and surprising little creatures
that are part of my life - until they become part of yours.
Feel free to ask information now about upcoming kittens.
Kittens will be ready to go to new homes SUMMER of 2023 at the earliest. I have litters due in April & May and we will see after that...
Please email me for more information.
**What's New?
March 31, 2022: I have a mix of new photos of the current new babies. These babies are a
from Neema. Father of these 2 baby boys is El Rey. And they are already promised. They are now running all over the house, eating very well. playing and checking out the whole house, often sleeping with me! I had bad advice and lost several kittens due to WATER. Now everyone, including me, gets only BOTTLED water and things seems to be under control. These babies are so very cute! See what you think as they have grown.
