FAQ

Do you have a Waiting List?

Yes, we maintain an exclusive waiting list for future Maine Coon kittens. To reserve a spot, a $500 deposit is required. This deposit will be applied toward the final sale price of the kitten you choose.

Once a new litter is born, we will contact all waiting list members in the order deposits were received. If you choose not to select a kitten from the current litter, your deposit will be transferred to the next available one. You may remain on the list for as long as needed and pass on as many litters as you wish.

Your position on the waiting list remains secure and can only move up. If, within 12 months, you do not choose a kitten and decide to leave the list, we will refund 50% of your deposit ($250). The other half is retained as a service fee.

We accept Zelle, Cash App, Venmo (friends & family only), and cash. PayPal is accepted as donation only.

To learn more about how our waiting list works, please visit our Waiting List Policy page.

If you're ready to apply, please complete our Application Form to get started.

Can I visit your cattery and see all the cats and kittens?

Yes, you're welcome to visit our cattery and meet our Maine Coon kittens, provided they are at least 8 weeks old. You’ll also have the opportunity to see some of our stunning breeding adults in person.

Please note that a $150 visiting fee applies. If you move forward with the adoption, this fee will be credited toward the deposit or purchase price of your kitten.

This policy allows us to protect the peaceful home environment of our cats and ensure that visits are limited to serious, committed families who are genuinely interested in adoption.

Why do you charge a $150 visiting fee?

At Royal Maine Coon Cattery, we charge a $150 visiting fee to ensure a safe, personalized, and high-quality experience for families who are seriously interested in adopting a purebred Maine Coon kitten.

This fee helps us maintain a clean, low-stress home environment for our cats, cover preparation time, and reduce unnecessary traffic. It also filters out casual visitors, allowing us to focus on committed families who want to meet our TICA-registered Maine Coon kittens.

The fee will be credited toward your kitten’s purchase price if you move forward with adoption.

What if I change my mind or no longer want my kitten? Can I get my deposit back?

All deposits placed with Royal Maine Coon Cattery are strictly non-refundable, under any circumstances.

Once a purebred Maine Coon kitten is reserved, we remove it from availability and turn away other families. This is a firm commitment. Deposits will not be refunded if you change your mind, if your situation changes, or even if the kitten develops a treatable health condition.

Please understand that a kitten is a living being, and during its growth, unexpected things can happen that are outside of our control — just like with any living creature.

In the rare event that a kitten passes away in our cattery before pickup, the deposit will not be refunded, but may be transferred to another kitten or future litter, depending on availability and at our discretion.

We kindly ask you to be fully certain and committed before placing a deposit.

Our priority is your kitten’s comfort and safety throughout the delivery process.

I have allergies to cats. Are Maine Coons hypoallergenic? Can I visit to see how I react?

Maine Coons are not hypoallergenic. While they may trigger fewer symptoms than some short-haired breeds, they still produce the Fel d 1 protein, which causes allergic reactions.

We do not offer in-person visits for clients with known cat allergies. Our cattery houses multiple breeds, including Bengals (which are considered more allergy-friendly), and exposure to different cats may cause a strong reaction.

However, we deeply respect and care about all our potential clients. That’s why we’re excited to announce the future opening of our PurRadise Lounge — a unique space where you’ll be able to interact with a variety of cat breeds in a calm, comfortable setting.

If you have allergies or other health sensitivities, you are very welcome to visit our lounge once it opens. You’ll have a chance to spend time with different cats and see which breed feels right for you — including Sphynx cats (hairless cats), which may cause fewer allergic reactions.

Follow our journey and lounge updates on Instagram:

instagram.com/purradiselounge

We still recommend consulting your doctor or allergist before introducing any cat into your home.

Do you offer a health guarantee for your kittens?

Yes. At Royal Maine Coon Cattery, the health and well-being of our kittens is our highest priority. We proudly offer a comprehensive health guarantee with every kitten:

• 1-year genetic health guarantee against life-threatening congenital or inherited conditions
• 2-year guarantee against hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) — one of the most common heart conditions in Maine Coons
• All parent cats are DNA-tested for PKDef, PRA, SMA, and HCM
• All kittens are fully vaccinated, dewormed, and vet-checked before leaving our cattery

Our kittens are raised in a home environment with love, attention, and close observation to ensure strong immune systems and healthy development.

Full details are outlined in our official Pet/Breeder Contract.

Should I get a male or female Maine Coon?

Both male and female Maine Coon cats make wonderful, affectionate companions — but there are some personality and grooming differences to consider:

Males are usually larger, more laid-back, and tend to be silly, playful, and a bit more needy. They love attention and often act like “gentle giants.”

Females are also playful, but usually more elegant, independent, and observant. They tend to be cleaner and more self-grooming.

🪮 Grooming tip: Male Maine Coons are generally lazier when it comes to grooming, so you may need to brush a male more frequently than a female to prevent tangles and mats.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your lifestyle and what kind of energy or personality you're looking for — both genders are affectionate, loyal, and intelligent.

If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help match you with the kitten that best fits your family and preferences.

What should I get before getting a kitten?

Before welcoming your new Maine Coon or Bengal kitten home, it's important to prepare your space with the essentials for a smooth transition. Here's a checklist of must-have items for your kitten starter kit:

• Kitten food – We recommend Royal Canin Kitten (dry and wet, same brand)

• Cat treats – Healthy snacks for bonding and training

• Food and water dishes – Preferably stainless steel or ceramic

• Litter box and litter – We suggest wood pellets or any clumping litter

• Cat scratching post or tree – Great for exercise and healthy claws

• Cat carrier – For safe transportation to and from the vet or cattery

Be prepared before bringing your kitten home to help reduce stress and support a smooth adjustment.

I saw you have 3 different breeds. Which one will be perfect for me?

At our cattery, we currently offer three wonderful breeds: Bengals, Maine Coons, and Scottish Folds — each with their own unique personality, temperament, and care needs. Here's how they compare:

Bengals

• Personality: Athletic, intelligent, curious, and talkative
• Perfect for: Active households, experienced cat owners
• Note: Bengals are not lap cats — they usually don’t enjoy being held and prefer independence with interactive play
• Bonus: Known to be more hypoallergenic than most other breeds

Maine Coons

• Personality: Gentle, loving, social, and “dog-like”
• Perfect for: Families with kids, other pets, or first-time cat owners
• Note: Maine Coons often love to be held and enjoy human affection
• Care: Their long, luxurious coat requires regular grooming

Scottish Folds

• Personality: Sweet, quiet, calm, and affectionate in their own way
• Perfect for: Peaceful homes, cat lovers who appreciate subtle charm
• Note: Though small and adorable, Scottish Folds usually prefer gentle interaction and may not enjoy excessive attention or being picked up too often

Still not sure which breed is best for you?

We’re very excited to welcome you soon to our upcoming PurRadise Lounge — a relaxing cat café where you’ll be able to spend time with all three breeds in person. It’s the perfect way to connect, interact, and find out which kitten you bond with most.

Are Maine Coons good with children?

Yes — absolutely!

We can’t speak for every breeder, but in our cattery, the answer is a big YES!
All of our kittens are raised inside our family home, surrounded by our own children from the very first days of their lives.
They grow up with laughter, hugs, and gentle play — learning to trust people and to give love back.

At Royal Maine Coon Cattery, we truly believe that children and kittens can grow up as best friends.
Our whole breeding program is focused on bringing joy to families with young kids — helping them create happy memories and loving bonds that last for years.

When one of our kittens joins a family with children, it already knows what real family love feels like — because it’s been surrounded by it since birth.

How big do Maine Coon cats get?

Maine Coons are known for their impressive size and strong, elegant appearance.
In our cattery, our males typically reach 18–25 lbs, while females range from 12–18 lbs, depending on their genetics and nutrition.

We proudly work with a balanced combination of 50% European lines and 50% American lines.
This gives our kittens the powerful, majestic build and expressive look of the European type, combined with the gentle features and soft temperament of the American type.
It’s a perfect blend of strength, beauty, and personality.

Although Maine Coons are indeed a large breed, they are more muscular and solid than oversized.
Their weight often comes from their strong frame and dense body, not from excess size.
So, while they may look like little lions in photos, you shouldn’t expect an actual lion walking around your living room.
They are graceful, balanced, and incredibly affectionate — big in presence, but even bigger in heart.

Do Maine Coons get along with dogs and other pets?

Yes, absolutely. Maine Coons are one of the most social and adaptable cat breeds.
They have calm, intelligent personalities and usually adjust very well to homes with other animals.

At Royal Maine Coon Cattery, our kittens are raised in a warm, family environment surrounded by children and other pets.
They occasionally interact with cats of other breeds, small dogs, and even our large parrots.
Our Maine Coons grow up learning calmness and respect — they don’t chase or stress our birds, which shows how intelligent and well-balanced their temperament truly is.

Because of this unique upbringing, our kittens easily adapt to families who already have other pets, whether it’s another cat, a dog, or even birds.
They are social, confident, and gentle — companions that bring peace, love, and harmony into multi-pet homes.

What is the personality of a Maine Coon cat?

Maine Coons are like living teddy bears — affectionate, calm, and endlessly gentle.
They’ll let you hug and kiss them without ever using their claws or showing discomfort.
Their soft and loving nature makes them one of the most emotionally intelligent breeds to connect with.

They enjoy being part of everything that happens around them.
A Maine Coon doesn’t see itself as “just a pet” — it truly feels like part of the family.
They expect to be included, to get a treat when you do, and to share life with you in every moment.
Whether you’re cooking, watching a movie, exercising, or even taking a shower, they’ll find a way to be nearby — quietly observing, purring, or joining in.
They aren’t the kind of cats who sleep all day and disappear; they stay present, curious, and involved in your world.

Maine Coons are also wonderful with children — patient, playful, and kind.
They’ll happily join a child’s games, watch them with interest, and sometimes even act like gentle babysitters.
They bring peace and balance into homes with kids and other pets alike.

What makes them truly unique is their temperament.
Maine Coons are never aggressive — you will not see one picking fights, annoying dogs, or attacking other cats.
They have calm, steady energy and a natural sense of respect.
They form genuine friendships with everyone around them, whether it’s another cat, a dog, a bird, or a child.

Unlike Bengals, who often bond with one person, Maine Coons share their affection with everyone.
Each family member becomes special to them in a different way.
They greet everyone at the door, share love equally, and bring unity to the home.

And I truly believe this — if you ever go through a difficult or lonely time, a Maine Coon can help heal your heart.
They have an amazing emotional intuition; they know when you need quiet comfort or simple presence.
That’s what makes this breed so special — they don’t just live with you, they live for you.

WHow do I know you are not a scam?

(Trusted Maine Coon Breeder — BBB Verified — TICA Registered)

We completely understand this concern. The kitten industry has many scammers, and we have personally experienced people stealing our contracts, copying our text, and even using our cattery name with one or two letters changed so buyers don’t notice.
This is why we encourage every buyer to verify breeders properly.

✅ 1. We are legally registered in the State of Maryland

We operate as official LLC businesses:

ROYAL PUREBRED KITTENS, LLC
ROYAL Bengal Cattery, LLC

Both businesses have active State registrations, EIN numbers, and Sales & Use Tax IDs.

Real breeders are legal businesses. Scammers are not.

✅ 2. Verified by Better Business Bureau (BBB)

You can verify our business here:
https://www.bbb.org/local-bbb/bbb-of-greater-maryland

BBB requires identity and business verification — scammers cannot pass this.

✅ 3. TICA Registered Cattery

Official TICA cattery name: SABLIN MAINE COON

Verification link:
https://tica.org/cattery/sablinmainecoon/

If a breeder is not registered with TICA or WCF, this is a red flag.

✅ 4. In-person visits (by appointment)

You can visit, meet the kittens, see the parents (if available), and the environment where kittens are raised.

Scammers do not allow visits.

✅ 5. Secure and traceable payment methods

We accept:

• Zelle Business Account (payment to LLC name)
• Cash
• Venmo
• PayPal — Donation / Friends & Family only (buyer covers PayPal fee)

We do not accept Cashier’s Checks or bank transfers.

All payments go to our LLC business account, not a personal account.

✅ 6. Live WhatsApp Video Call

We offer WhatsApp Video Call so you can see your kitten live before placing a reservation.

Real kittens = real video.

⭐ Transparency is our policy

We don’t ask buyers to trust our words —
we provide proof, documentation, and verification.

Are your kittens raised inside your home or in a separate facility?

Yes — our Maine Coon kittens are raised inside our home, not in a warehouse or commercial facility.
This is one of the reasons families choose us when searching for a trusted Maine Coon breeder in the USA.

We have two dedicated kitten rooms inside the house:

🍼 Nursery Room (birth → ~8 weeks / ~2 months)

This room is used for:

• pregnant Maine Coon females,
• newborn kittens,
• mom with babies during the first weeks of life.

It is a quiet, sterilized, stress-free environment.
We monitor newborn kittens and their mom 24/7 with cameras, so we always know they are safe.

🐾 Kitten Room (from 3 months and up)

Once kittens are older and more active, they move into our Kitten Room (from 3 months and up).
We separate babies from older kittens because:

• bigger kittens can accidentally injure newborn babies,
• mothers get stressed when active kittens run around newborns.

This room also has 24/7 video cameras.

Our kittens learn:

• house manners,
• litter box training,
• scratching post behavior,
• communication with humans and other kittens.

They are handled daily, making them confident and extremely affectionate — which is what people expect from a purebred, socialized Maine Coon kitten.

🔹 What about adult cats?

Our adult breeding Maine Coons live in a separate cat house located in our backyard.
Females and males have separate rooms to avoid accidental breedings and to maintain harmony.

The breeding house is also monitored by cameras 24/7.

⭐ Why this matters

• kittens are raised in a real home environment,
• early socialization leads to better temperament,
• cats and kittens are always supervised,
• zero cages — ever.

When you adopt from us, you are getting a kitten that was planned, supervised, loved, and socialized — not just “produced.”

Are your kittens TICA registered?

Yes — our cattery is officially registered with TICA (The International Cat Association) under the cattery name SABLIN MAINE COON.

You can verify our registration here:
https://tica.org/cattery/sablinmainecoon/

All kittens are born from TICA-registered parents, and every litter is registered with TICA.

PET (non-breeding kittens)

🐾 If a kitten is sold as a pet, we already spay/neuter the kitten before going home.
🐾 On the TICA registration document, it will clearly state: Pet / Non-Breeding.
🐾 Pet kittens can participate in TICA shows.
🐾 Being able to participate in shows does not mean the kitten is sold as “show quality.”

BREEDING (by approval only)

🐾 Breeding rights are offered only by approval.
🐾 A separate Breeding Contract is required.
🐾 On the TICA registration document, it will state: Sold with Breeding Rights.

We are selective and only work with responsible breeding programs.

Summary

🐾 Pet kittens are already spayed/neutered and registered as Pet / Non-Breeding.
🐾 Breeding kittens require approval and are registered as Breeding.
🐾 Pet kittens can participate in TICA shows, but that does not mean they are sold as show-quality animals.
🐾 Every kitten leaves our cattery with the correct official TICA documentation.

Do you sell kittens with breeding rights?

Yes — we do sell kittens with breeding rights, but only by approval.
We work exclusively with responsible breeding programs that understand proper breeding ethics, genetics, and health testing.

How it works

🐾 Breeding rights are not automatic — they are offered only after approval.
🐾 We ask questions about your experience, plans, and breeding goals.
🐾 If approved, a separate Breeding Contract is signed.
🐾 The TICA registration will state: Sold with Breeding Rights.

Important

🐾 We do NOT sell breeding kittens to people who “just want to try breeding once.”
🐾 We do NOT sell kittens “as an option,” “in case we decide later,” or “to think about breeding someday.”
🐾 We sell breeding kittens only to people who are committed to starting or expanding a serious and ethical breeding program.
🐾 We do NOT sell females for breeding and then provide stud service — we do not support this model.

We protect our bloodlines and only work with breeders who respect ethical breeding practices and are ready for a long-term commitment.

PET vs BREEDING

🐾 Pet kittens are already spayed/neutered before going home and registered as Pet / Non-Breeding.
🐾 Breeding kittens require approval and are registered with TICA as Breeding.

We prioritize quality, ethics, and preserving our bloodlines — not quantity or convenience.

What payments do you accept?

For reservations and deposits, we accept the following secure payment methods:

🐾 Zelle — Business Account (payment goes to our LLC)
(Preferred — fast and secure.)

🐾 Cash
(During in-person visits or at pickup.)

🐾 Venmo
(We accept Venmo to our business account.)

🐾 Credit / Debit Cards
We do accept credit cards for deposits, however the client is responsible for the additional 4% processing fee charged by the card processor.

🐾 PayPal — Donation / Friends & Family only
If PayPal is used, the buyer covers the PayPal fee.

IMPORTANT — Final Payment

🐾 The final payment at pickup is CASH ONLY.
We do not accept credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or any electronic form for the final payment.

We do NOT accept

🐾 Cashier’s checks
🐾 Personal checks
🐾 Bank transfers
🐾 Payment to personal names or personal accounts
🐾 “Buy now, pay later” services

All payments go directly to our LLC business accounts, not to personal accounts — this protects both sides and ensures transparency.

We value security and trust.
Deposits can be made electronically, but the final payment must be made in cash.

How does transportation / nanny delivery work?

We offer safe and stress-free delivery options.
Our kittens never fly alone and are never shipped as cargo.

We only use:

🐾 a professional flight nanny, or
🐾 my husband personally delivers the kitten

How delivery works

🐾 The kitten flies inside the airplane cabin, never in cargo.
🐾 The kitten stays in a soft carrier next to the person for the entire flight.
🐾 You receive updates, videos, and photos during travel.
🐾 The nanny (or my husband) hands the kitten to you directly at the airport.

If a flight nanny is not available

If a nanny is not available for the dates you need,
I usually send my husband to personally deliver the kitten.

We trust only a very limited number of people with our kittens —
they are not a “shipment,” they are our babies.

Why we no longer use cargo shipping

We have completely stopped using cargo.

Not because cargo is unsafe —
but because the process is unpredictable and extremely stressful:

🐾 strict temperature restrictions at every airport during connections
🐾 shipments get canceled last minute if temperatures are too hot or too cold
🐾 cargo staff may refuse the animal upon check-in
🐾 we had situations where we drove to the airport 2–3 times, and cargo still refused the flight

People think cargo is simple — it’s not.
It’s stressful for the breeder and stressful for the kitten.

We want every kitten to travel calm, supervised, and safe.

Delivery cost

🐾 Transportation / nanny delivery starts from $1,000
(price varies depending on destination, airline availability, and travel dates)

You will always receive a final quote before scheduling the delivery.

Pickup options

🐾 Pick up at our home
🐾 Meet at Baltimore (BWI) Airport
🐾 Flight nanny delivery
🐾 Delivery personally by my husband (if a nanny is unavailable)

Delivery for us is not “shipping a pet.”
It’s making sure your kitten arrives safely, calmly, and straight into your hands.

Do you show your cats in TICA shows?

🐾 We do not actively participate in TICA shows.

We respect breeders who travel, show their cats, and collect titles.
There is nothing wrong with showing — for many breeders, it’s an important part of their program.

However, showing cats requires:

• constant travel,
• frequent show participation,
• networking and knowing judges.

And to be honest — we simply don’t have time for that.
Our priority is different.

What we focus on

🐾 We focus on breeding quality, temperament, socialization, and genetics, not on ribbons.
🐾 Our goal is to raise kittens that grow into confident, balanced family cats — especially in homes with children.
🐾 We spend our energy on early socialization, home-raising, and hands-on care.

Show standards vs. Breeding standards

🐾 Show cats and breeding cats are not always the same.

Sometimes a cat that is ideal for shows may not be ideal for breeding:

• Show cats are selected for dramatic type, extreme traits, and ring presence.
• Breeding cats must have stable temperament, strong structure, health, and predictable genetics.

I choose cats that are perfect for breeding and for families, not just for the show arena.

So yes — maybe some of my cats are not “show ring perfect,”
but they are breeding-perfect and family-perfect.

What about owners who want to show their kitten?

Even if your kitten is sold as Pet (non-breeding):

🐾 You still receive TICA papers.
🐾 You are not restricted from entering shows.
🐾 You are welcome to show your kitten and win titles, if you wish.

We do not take away that opportunity.
We simply choose not to spend our lives at shows — we spend them raising kittens.

How old are kittens when they can go home?

🐾 Kittens go to their new homes at 14–16 weeks (3.5–4 months old).
🐾 By that time they are:

• fully vaccinated
• spayed/neutered (for pet kittens)
• socialized and confident

We do not release kittens at 8–10 weeks like backyard breeders.
Proper development takes time.

Can I FaceTime the kitten before placing a deposit?

🐾 Yes — you can request a WhatsApp video call.
🐾 We will show you the kitten live, his behavior, and personality.
🐾 This helps you feel confident before making a decision.

We only use WhatsApp for video calls.

Do you offer stud service?

🐾 No — we do not offer stud service.
🐾 We do not sell females and then allow access to our males.
🐾 We do not support “breeding without commitment” or quick pairings.

We protect our bloodlines and only work with structured, ethical breeding programs that purchase their own breeding males and females.

Do you have a partner/breeding partner?

🐾 Yes — I do have a breeding partner.
🐾 My partner is not located in the United States.

We collaborate only on genetics, bloodlines, and planning specific pairings, not on customer communication or sales.

How our partnership works

🐾 We do not send kittens from my partner directly to buyers.
🐾 Sometimes I may list kittens from my partner on my website, but:

• all communication,
• contracts,
• deposits and payments,
• delivery arrangements

always go through me only.

You work only with Royal Purebred Kittens / Royal Maine Coon Cattery, even if the kitten comes from a partnered litter.

Why you cannot contact my partner directly

🐾 My partner does not handle buyers, contracts, or payments.
🐾 She is fully focused on breeding and caring for the animals, not on customer service, scheduling, or logistics.

I am the only person who:

• speaks with buyers,
• handles deposits, contracts, and payments,
• arranges transportation or nanny delivery,
• provides lifelong support after adoption.

🚫 IMPORTANT — scam protection

Please be cautious.

🐾 If someone contacts you and claims to be my partner and tries to offer kittens directly —
that person is lying.

🐾 None of my partners — in any breed — will ever contact buyers directly.
🐾 They will not message you, they will not discuss prices, and they will not arrange sales.

We have binding contracts between us.
Neither I nor my partner will ever violate that agreement.

If someone says, “I am Kate’s partner, buy the kitten from me,”
they are scamming you.

✅ Summary

🐾 Yes, I have breeding partners.
🐾 No, they are not located in the US.
🐾 No, they do not communicate with buyers.
🐾 All communication and payments go only through me.

At what age do kittens get spayed/neutered?

🐾 We spay/neuter kittens between 12–14 weeks (around 3 to 3.5 months old).

We do everything during the same veterinary visit, so the kitten doesn’t experience repeated stress or multiple appointments.

During the spay/neuter appointment, our vet completes:

🐾 full vaccinations (including rabies)
🐾 deworming
🐾 ear check and cleaning
🐾 nail trimming

We pick up the kitten from the clinic the same day.
If the veterinarian has any concerns, they tell us right away.
If everything looks good, they simply discharge the kitten, meaning there are no medical concerns.

After that, the kitten stays with us until:

• appetite is normal,
• litter box use is normal,
• energy and behavior are stable,
• incision is healing correctly.

Only when we see that the kitten is fully recovered and acting like its normal self, we allow the kitten to go to their new home.

You receive a kitten who is already vaccinated, sterilized, dewormed, groomed, and fully recovered — ready for your home and routine.

Do you allow visits after the deposit is placed?

🐾 Yes — we allow one scheduled visit, but only when the kitten is old enough.

Once a deposit is placed:

• the kitten is removed from all advertising,
• we stop showing the kitten to other families,
• and we limit visitations to protect the kitten’s health and immune system.

🚫 We do not allow visits to see newborn kittens.
🚫 We do not allow touching, holding, or handling newborns.
🚫 We do not allow “just to look” visits while kittens are still tiny.

Newborn kittens have a very fragile immune system.
Even microscopic bacteria brought in on clothes or shoes can be dangerous.

When visits are allowed:

🐾 only when the kitten is old enough,
🐾 only by scheduled appointment,
🐾 and handling is allowed only under our supervision.

After a deposit is placed, we keep you updated with:

🐾 photos
🐾 videos
🐾 WhatsApp video calls (by request)

Our priority is to protect the health, safety, and emotional comfort of every kitten.

Why are your kittens more expensive than others??

Because we are not selling “just a kitten.”
🐾 We focus on quality — not quantity.

We carefully plan every pairing and do not breed every female every heat.
Each kitten represents our program, our name, and our ethics.

✅ Health Guarantees (very rare in the breeding world)

We offer one of the strongest guarantees you will find:

🐾 2-year guarantee on HCM (heart disease)
🐾 1-year guarantee on genetic conditions (SMA, PKdef, PKD, etc.)

Most breeders offer 72 hours — some offer no guarantee at all.
Even when we buy breeding cats, breeders do not give us these guarantees.

We take on that risk — you don’t.

✅ What is included before your kitten goes home

At our vet appointment, we perform everything during the same visit so the kitten does not experience repeated stress:

🐾 full vaccination series (including rabies)
🐾 spay/neuter (for pet homes)
🐾 deworming

Your kitten goes home fully ready, not “unfinished.”

✅ We reject cats that do not meet our standards

Sometimes a breeding cat:

• does not get pregnant,
• has repeated miscarriages,
• has complications during labor,
• gives birth to kittens with genetic or developmental defects,
• does not produce strong, well-developed kittens,
• does not have the temperament to be a mother.

When that happens, we remove the cat from our breeding program, even if we invested thousands of dollars into importing, testing, feeding, and raising her.

Most breeders will continue breeding such cats “to recover the money.”

We don’t.

We protect:

🐾 our bloodlines
🐾 the kittens
🐾 the breed
🐾 our future families
🐾 our reputation

Not every cat is meant to be a breeding cat — even if she has a show pedigree.
We never sacrifice the quality of our kittens for profit.

✅ If we sell breeding rights — our standards remain

We do sell kittens with breeding rights, but only to:

🐾 ethical and responsible breeders
🐾 those who understand value and genetics
🐾 those who will maintain similar pricing and standards

We do not sell breeding kittens cheaply.
We will not allow our bloodlines to be used to produce “discount kittens.”

✅ Why are other kittens so cheap?

Because cheap breeders usually use cheap practices.

Cheap commonly means:

🚫 not a registered cattery
🚫 not purebred
🚫 scammers
🚫 no genetic testing
🚫 no sterilization
🚫 no full vaccinations
🚫 no guarantees
🚫 kittens raised in cages, basements, barns, or garages

Cheap kittens always cost more later — in medical bills, heartbreak, or both.

✅ Lifetime support — not “sell and disappear”

Most breeders stop responding once the kitten leaves.
They hand you a kitten, say “good luck,” and disappear.

We are the opposite.

🐾 We provide 24/7 support after adoption.
🐾 We do not block clients.
🐾 We do not ignore messages.
🐾 We are always available for guidance — nutrition, behavior, grooming, vet care, anything.

We don’t just sell kittens —
we build long-term relationships with our families.

When you adopt from us, you become part of our extended family.

✅ Summary

Our kittens are more expensive because we give more:

🐾 quality
🐾 health
🐾 genetics
🐾 ethics
🐾 transparency
🐾 long-term guarantees
🐾 support

We don’t sell kittens.
We place family members.

Do you offer references or previous buyer contacts?

🐾 Yes — we are completely open and transparent.

Many of our clients have public Instagram pages where they post photos and videos of their kittens.
Some families even create separate Instagram accounts just for their kittens.

You are welcome to:

• view their accounts,
• message them directly,
• ask about their experience with us.

We don’t choose the clients for you — you can reach out to any of them freely.

Our kitten families are visible because:

🐾 we follow our kitten families,
🐾 they follow us back,
🐾 many of them tag us in stories and posts.

You can DM any of them and ask for honest, real feedback — no filters, no scripts, no pressure.

Real breeders don’t hide their clients.

👉 Scammers do.

When you adopt from us, you become part of our community.
We call it:

✨ “Welcome to the Royal Family.” ✨

Because once you adopt from us — you're not just a client,
🐾 you become part of our family and our future.
