Registration papers
Registration papers for your kitten can be obtained from TICA upon your request and can be sent to you after breeder receives a proof (copy of vet records) of altering.
Once you get home
Set limited space for your new kitten in your house. Let kitty get use to the new smells, noises, and people. When you get home with your new furry friend, place kitten in the litter box and leave it there so they can become accustomed to where it will be. Make sure kitten is drinking, eating, and using litter box while in the new room. Slowly let kitten explore other areas after 3-4 days in limited space. I would recommend a litter box on each floor of your house. When it is comfortable with you, start slowly introducing your kitten to your other animals (dogs, cats) if your kitten is over 90 days old and already has had their rabies shot. Always remember that stressless environment is the key to strong immune system and longer, healthier life.
Our kittens and cats are raised on a mixed dietthis includes raw meat, quail and chickens eggs from our backyard chickens, meat, and processed food. Our our kittens get a healthy mixture of turkey added to their can food with brown rise and canned pumpkin as a source of fiber. We recommend keeping your kitten on the same diet. Changing diet may cause diarrhea in your kitten until digesting system get used to new food.
Non-refundable deposit
Deposit for kitten is not refundable if you decide to pass on kitten you reserved. If a breeder agrees to apply your deposit to another kitten due to your personal circumstances you can use it on a different kitten with equal value from presently available till the end of the calendar year in which you submitted deposit.
Late Pick-up
If you are unable to pick up your cat/kitten due to vacation or any other circumstances and kittens would have to stay longer in our house an additional boarding fee will be charged for each day of delay may apply. So please, plan accordingly.
More Expectations
Your kitten will be prepared to go home when it is around 3 to 4 months old due to 2 mandatory vaccinations. No exceptions.
Our contract is universal for any cases so please ignore statements which do not apply to your situation, please.
We can screen your kitten for HCM per your request, but in this case kitten's tummy will be shaved. Remember, HCM test reflects only current condition and a better time to run such test is around 1.5 years old. Don't hesitate to ask about any further tests you would like ran, some may be at the expense of the requestor but our priority is getting you a happy healthy kitten in your home.
We will microchip a kitten at your request at no additional fee. Your kitten will be dewormed several different ways, vaccinated with at least 2 shots against 3 upper respiratory viruses, vet checked, tested for FeLV, and FIV viruses.
We are ringworm free, all cats have their genetic tests or, if a parent kitten from our cattery, the parents of this kitten was tested. We are taking health seriously and using a lot of gentle treatment if necessary rather than antibiotic therapy in any occasions.
We are providing each kitten with the opportunity to get insurance with no waiting period within the US. Your paperwork would have certificate from Insurance company and all information on how to purchase insurance with the contact number.
All of our kittens leave our cattery litter box and scratching post trained.
Due to the fact that British Shorthair is a slow matured breed your kitten is not going to be altered and this would be your responsibility according to the signed contract not earlier than 6 months for girls and at least 8-9 months for boys.
Your kitten is considered "reserved" when breeder has signed contract and deposit is in hand.
Please make sure that you bring cash, money order or cashier check to your pickup meeting.
We are not practicing visits, so we have VIBER and WHATSAPP available for better contact with our customers.
WE are trying to do our best to socialize your kitten but we cannot predict any possible situation in their life like get them used to vacuum cleaners, or dogs, or small kids, or any other sorts of animals. Our priority is health, proper care, socialization and preservation and development of the breed characteristics. We very carefully select the parents for our kittens, recognizing many behavorial or health related issues are inherited.
As a complementary to your purchase, we can arrange shipping with professional services available around. Shipping cost consists of health certificate ($230-$250), carrier $60-80, transportation ($380-450) if we are able to use Alaska Airlines. Some other carriers’ prices may vary. You will need to bring your ID or Driver's License with you when picking up kitten at cargo. The name on the health certificate and paperwork must be as on your ID or Driver's License so make sure you provide us with the correct information of the person who is picking up your kitten. Pets flying in the cargo will not be accepted by most airlines when the current or forecasted temperature at the arrival, layover or departure airport is above 80-85°F (28°C) at any location on the itinerary.
Many airports in areas with historical high temperatures in the summer such as Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, or Florida will be banned by many airlines for all summer months. Transportation is still available, but normally with other companies like car ride but the cost is more often than not around twice as much as the airlines.

Please, do not make strange requests like take pictures with kitten and fork, or kitten and paper with written your name on it, etc... This does not prove anything! We understand that you afraid to be scammed but we are not carrying camera with us all day long to take pictures for you and we are trying to send you the best picture we can of the kitten you are interested in. This process takes quite some time and we have a life as well as you are... If you afraid that we are no a real breeder - find our add on the TICA web site (there is no scammers there but all are real breeders) or research SOS, IP address, etc. there are a lot of ways to do your search rather than making us doing weird things. Please, respect our rights. Again, video calls are available for you to view your kitten.
Please note that being a photographer is a completely separate business and my pictures are not perfect, I am trying to get you the best pictures that I can. So please, be patient and understand that we are not professional photographers, and we are doing our best to get you the pictures that you need to see your new furry friend.
