The Dangers from Outside I have lost count of the number of times I have heard: "Compared to a dog, a cat is independent, it is autonomous, only the territory counts", "to be happy, a cat must go out", "cats that don't go out, get bored and become aggressive" ​ These received ideas unfortunately die hard and are false!!​ ​ Cats that go outside have a shortened life expectancy. Indeed, indoor cats live on average between 12 and 15 years while cats that go outside have an average longevity of 5 years. The last argument is the cost in the veterinary clinic which is 66% lower for an indoor cat. So what is the solution? How do you make sure your cat is happy, stimulated and safe? By improving its living environment, of course! And there, it's up to you! Cat tree, wall course, anything that can stimulate its activity. ​ Contrary to popular thought, no, a cat is not meant to go out freely and roam around your home. ​ As you will have understood, at Les Géants d'Hyades, we strongly advise against free access to the outside for your cat. The dangers of the road ​ The road is the number 1 danger for cats ​ Cats found run over on the side of the road are unfortunately very common. ​ Poisoning ​ Poisoning is also a common cause of hospitalization and death for our furry friends. Many outdoor plants are toxic, such as lily of the valley, tulips or oleander. ​ (see the list of poisonous plants) Dogs ​ Always keep in mind that a cat alone facing a dog walking without a leash can be its target. No cat can win against the mighty jaws of a big dog. ​ ​ The other cats ​ The cat is a particularly territorial animal. Thus, fights between cats, especially at night, are commonplace, whether in town or in the countryside._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ ​ Thefts and disappearances​ ​ Always keep in mind that your beautiful purebred cat may be the object of envy. The maine coon being a peaceful cat can easily be stolen during an unsupervised walk Diseases ​ The street is an infinite source of viruses and bacteria for your cat (some more deadly than others) Coryza, typhus, cat AIDS etc. Not to mention parasites like ticks and fleas. Your cat can also die by chasing a simple mouse that would have ingested rat poison in a neighboring house. What the law says ​ Article 622-2 of the Penal Code, "the fact, by the guardian of an animal likely to present a danger to people, of letting this animal wander is punished by the fine provided for 2nd class fines" The insects ​ Bees and wasps represent a real danger for our cats because their buzzing attracts them and they risk being stung. Even more serious, they can ingest them and be stung in the throat. The area will swell and the cat may choke. It's a veterinary emergency! The hunters ​ Every year, between September and April, veterinary emergency services in rural and peri-urban areas are faced with hunting accidents involving cats. ​

Survey ​ ​ ​ Thank you for your interest in my breeding. Know that we are located in the Bouches du Rhône near Aix en Provence All our kittens are sold castrated and sterilized. Our mission as a breeder is to bring healthy kittens into the world in order to be well in their paws, which is why the temperament of my cats is extremely important to me. We look for in our breeders an exemplary temperament, a physique that respects the standard of the breed and of course, who are in good health. Any family wishing to adopt from us must complete a pre-selection form which will help us to determine first of all whether the breed and character of the kitten chosen may be suitable for you. See you soon at the Giants of Hyades * Please note that completing this form does not guarantee you an option on one of our kittens and we reserve the right to refuse your request if we consider that the breed is not suitable for you.

Team Dedication. Expertise. Passion. You will find on this page all the reasons why all our kittens without exception leave castrated / sterilized I also invite you to read our 2nd article on the dangers of the exterior ​ Intervention duration On kittens the duration of the intervention is shorter and the recovery is better Disappearance of behaviors sexual (noise nuisance) ​ Subject to the stress of their hormones, cats in heat meow in a very pronounced, strong and constant way because they try to attract a male to mate with them. Dirtiness/marking So-called early castration/sterilization prevents the appearance of marking in cats (male and female) Note that marking urine is particularly urine with a very strong smell. The Zen attitude Less disturbed by his hormones, the cat will be more peaceful, his development more harmonious. In the end, he will be calmer and more cuddly with you. Cancers ​ 7 times fewer mammary tumors in females and testicular tumors in males for those who have undergone castration/sterilization The Runaways ​ Uncastrated cats tend to run away to meet females. Castration therefore makes it possible to limit the risk of accidents linked to running away and fights by cats to conquer the female.

loof / NO LOOF What the LOOF (Official Book of Feline Origins) says ​ excerpt from the official website: “Without a LOOF pedigree, a cat born in France is considered " alley Cat " even if his parents have a LOOF pedigree (Ioi from 6 ja January 1999, decree of August 28, 2008 ). ​ He can only claim the appellation of “type” cat or “appearance” cat. This name does not provide any guarantee, neither morphological nor behavioral, but only means that the cat looks like a cat of Persian or Siamese breed, for example. ​ Today, the use of the term "purebred cat" for a cat without a LOOF pedigree is considered a deception by the courts and the breeder can be condemned The LOOF pedigree is an official document. Requested by the breeder, and by him alone, its overall cost is 35 €. » ​ You will have understood that buying a cat of a non-LOOF breed is contradictory! and in the end a form of scam for you adopting !! ​ Traceability and guarantee ​ "Choosing a cat of the LOOF breed means choosing the guarantee of a cat which, as it grows, will meet your expectations. To select his breeding stock, the breeder bases himself on morphological and behavioral criteria, but also uses a very important document: the pedigree. A veritable "family book" for the cat, this official document retraces the entire genealogy of the kitten over four generations. There are inscribed the names of his ancestors, their race, their color and, where applicable, the titles of champions. ​ No breeder worth their salt sells their kittens without LOOF Those who do so avoid declaring their income for taxes and defraud you by selling you a cat that will never officially be a purebred cat. At the price of 900€ on average for a non LOOF cat, it is excessively expensive for a gutter! Generally, these same breeders do not test their cats for all diseases of the breed and this therefore exposes you to worries in the long term. Think about it!! The Commitments nts from a LOOF breeder: ​ ​ Promote the breed he raises ​ Perform all DNA and ultrasound health tests ​ Give the adopter the certificate of commitment in accordance with the law of November 18, 2021 ​ Possess his ACACED (Certificate of Knowledge for Pets of Domestic Species) + SIRET number for professionals. ​ Have a mediator in the event of a dispute ​ Give you, on the day of departure of your kitten, a certificate of good health established by his veterinarian ​ Kittens leave sterilized/castrated, identified, dewormed and up to date with their vaccines
