Kittens Buying Process

Kitten pricing is based on how much it conforms to the breed standards. Our kittens are usually priced when they are 4 weeks old. It isn’t until that time that we get a good idea of their final pattern, structure, and colors. As they grow, their features and coats develop beautifully. It usually takes a kitten up to 2 years to achieve their full adult coat and color. In the first few months of life, they may go through a camouflage or fuzzy stage, which can temporarily distort their actual color and pattern. After they lose this stage, their gorgeous, true premium coat is revealed! Rarely do we have kittens that are sold after six months. When this happens, the price may be reduced. Kittens are priced individually. The price depends not just on the color, patterns, and gender, but also on behavior, temperament, and development.
• Pet Price: $1,200 – $1,500 (each kitten is priced individually)
• Show Quality: $1,500 – $1,700
• Breed Quality: $1,700 – $1,900 (Depends on the color, patterns, size, and gender)

Breeder & Show Rights

Buying a kitten with Breeder/Show Rights places you on a separate list from the Pet Buyers. This separate list offers the First Pick of particular litters. This common practice among top breeders ensures you get the exact selection and breeder quality you are looking for. Unfortunately, this option is only available to up to 33% of any litter. The cost to buy breeder rights is currently $1,700 – $1,900, with an upfront deposit of $500.00. The kittens sold as pets without Breeding Rights will be neutered/spayed. In addition, these kittens will have the TICA Registration Number with specifications: “not for breeding.” The kittens sold as a pet can have the show quality, and the kittens sold for breeding and show CANNOT have pet quality. We guarantee the kittens’ health and guarantee no FeLV or FIV.

Deposit & Reservation Policy

We require a $350 deposit to be placed on the waiting list, and a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the kitten’s price to reserve a specific kitten (for kittens sold with Breeding Rights, the deposit is $500). The deposit is applied towards the total Purchase Price of the kitten. Deposits must be received within 24 hours of a Purchaser’s verbal or written acceptance of a kitten. Once a deposit is received, that specific kitten will be held exclusively for you and will not be offered to anyone else.
