FAQ & MORE
-
You can either fill out an application, or email/reach out to us on social media. We'd love to talk to you and get to know you. You can keep up with our current availability here.
If what you’re looking for isn’t available, we do have a waitlist! We will notify you of matings, and when a kitten of your preference is available, we will reach out. A deposit of 20% must be sent to hold the kitten. The deposit will go toward your final purchase price and is NOT refundable. Every deposit we've ever taken goes into care & vetting costs.
You can see the costs of our kittens down below, and they are always subject to change. We try to keep our prices as reasonable, but please understand that running a cattery can be very expensive. Our pricing is very competitive compared to similar catteries in our area. I work full time to maintain everything on top of this!

As a baseline, we follow TICA’s code of ethics. But, we believe you have to go even beyond that to truly be a good cattery!
Our cats MUST clear ALL genetic testing and personality evaluations before breeding. They also have to all clear genetic testing, which we will always link publicly. Our British and Scottish cats must clear HCM testing once a year (we will introduce this to the Munchkins soon - BSH and SFS are just higher risk so they have priority). Even if you don’t get a cat from us, I highly suggest that any cat you’re interested in that is part British or Scottish is properly screened for HCM and negative for PKD. These two conditions are prevalent in irresponsible breeding in British and Scots, and will ALWAYS result in early death, despite being entirely preventable.
Our Scottish cats are always bred straight to folded ear, and we do not work with any cats that show any signs of OCD at any point. A few things to watch out for are a thick tail, crooked legs, thickened joints, limping, and sensitivity in joints. Scottish cats that have first or second degree ear folding should not be bred as well.
Our Munchkins are bred long leg to short leg. Despite this, it’s a myth that breeding short leg to short leg is dangerous for the kittens, it just results in a non-viable litter (i.e. two copies of the dominant gene will result in the fetus being re-absorbed in utero). With Munchkin breeding, it is important to maintain minimal bowing of front legs and longer back legs than the front (resulting in raised hips). All of our breeders are evaluated for these traits. We do not try to breed for extremely short legs (“rughugger”).
As a whole, our cats are also protected for fleas and ticks through Bravecto & Cheristin. We do not allow contact with unknown animals or people to reduce likelihood of other contagious diseases.
If something changes or seems off at any point of their breeding career, they are retired immediately, regardless of age.
What you get from our cattery is predictability and support. We will never let a kitten go home if it shows any condition (genetic or not), and will ensure they have been seen by a vet.
We also strive to have very socialized kittens, so they are exposed to new experiences early on (bumpy car rides, loud vacuum cleaners, bath time, nail trims, etc). We handle them every single day so they’re cuddly and they sleep with us as night too! Every kitten is different, but we’ve yet to hear from anyone that they’ve been disappointed with their kitten’s socialization. :)

We are located in the Bay Area, California and we deliver from Fresno, California to Portland, Oregon at no cost to the adopter. We started our cattery up in beautiful Oregon and still have family and friends in the area there (so we’re always happy to go up when we can). Our family tends to already spend our weekends traveling and exploring - we’re the type to go off-grid into nature every few weeks - so it’s really no trouble for us.
From time to time, we will send our kittens/cats to new parents outside the west coast, if it aligns in timing and makes sense for us to make the trip (or if a flight nanny is hired). These trips are subject to air cabin pet fees and minor additional transit fees. We partner with a few excellent pet nannies that we are happy to suggest to you if the timing doesn’t align for us to take the trip. We do have pet parents all over the US to both kittens and retired adults. All of our kittens do amazing in car and air travel, so don't worry about them. We take a million steps beforehand to ensure they're safe and comfortable the entire time.
If you wish to pick up your kitten from us, we service San Francisco International Airport, Oakland International Airport, and San Jose International Airport, and can happily meet you at any of these.

At go-home time, our kittens will be vaccinated three times (their core FVCRP shots and boosters), spayed or neutered, vet checked, dewormed twice, microchipped, and a TICA pedigree will be provided upon request.
In the rare cases a kitten goes home before we can do the rabies and 3rd booster shot, we will stipend those costs for you. We do not sell kittens with breeding rights and do not let uncastrated kittens out unless of very special case-by-case circumstances . We offer lifetime breeder support, so if you got a cat from us years ago, you can still chat with me with any questions you have.
All kittens will be socialized and litterbox trained, and come with a one year health guarantee against all genetic conditions.
Each kitten will come with a free transitional kit that will ensure he or she has a safe and welcome transition to a new home. These include raw, wet, and dry foods, alongside toys, blankets, etc, and a guide on how to take care of your new family member! We also will send you home with a free month of pet insurance with Trupanion.

Kittens are ready to go home between 12 to 16 weeks of age, per TICA's code of ethics. We will NEVER let them go any earlier, so please do not ask. We VERY rarely let them go younger than 16 weeks, especially for the munchkins, and will only do so in extreme/special cases. Why? Early weaning and early removal of kittens from their litter can result in behavioral issues. We are also 100% happy to take care of your kitten a few weeks after 16 weeks if needed, no extra cost.
We suggest setting up a small room for your new family member for the first few days your kitten will be home. Most kittens will adapt quickly, but some may be frightened and confused by the new smells and new space and will require some time to decompress. As they grow more accustomed to you, your family, and your space, you can start introducing them to more rooms over time. If you have another pet, it is required in our contract to quarantine and introduce slowly. I've written out the best way to transition your new kitten here.
I would pre-order the food we suggest ahead of time, and set up an automatic water fountain! All of our cats are fed on schedule and have unlimited access to fountains.
