How we raise our kittens

GudrunSplace is a small, home-based Norwegian Forest Cat cattery on Vancouver Island.

Each litter is carefully planned with attention to health, temperament, and correct breed type. Kittens are raised in our home with steady routines and daily handling so they leave confident and well adjusted.

Our breeding cats are health tested according to current breed recommendations.

Kittens are placed as indoor companions, and we remain available to our families throughout the cat’s life.

If at any point a family cannot keep their cat, we ask to be contacted first. Every cat we bring into the world remains our responsibility.

Kitten Application

A Litter Full of Surprises!

Joy, a black smoke tortie, and Aslan, a cream male, produced a rare cream-dominant litter, including 4 cream females. While colour is never the primary goal of a responsible breeding program, this litter represents an unusually beautiful expression of the breed and of Aslan's genetics.

FOOD – Prioritize Moisture

Cats do best on moisture-rich diets (canned or fully rehydrated raw).

Dry food can be used occasionally, but hydration supports urinary and kidney health.

Wet Food Examples:

· • Weruva

· • Tiki Cat (After Dark formulas are excellent for kittens)

· • Ziwi Peak (canned)

· • Feline Natural (canned)

· • RAWZ 96%

· • Fancy Feast (accessible option)

Freeze-Dried / Air-Dried (Rehydrate before feeding):

· • Feline Natural

· • Stella & Chewy’s

· • Open Farm

· • Ziwi Peak (air-dried)

Add warm water and serve soft (stew consistency).

LITTER SETUP

Our cats use EasyClean Unscented litter.

Keeping the same litter initially makes transition easier.

· • Unscented clumping litter

· • Large litter box (one per floor is ideal)
