Whether you’re curious about breed characteristics, reservation policies, health guarantees, or preparing your home for a new companion, this FAQ page is designed to give you clear, helpful answers. If you don’t see the information you’re looking for, feel free to contact us directly — we’re always happy to help you make a confident and informed decision about your new kitten.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes — all of our kittens are registered with recognized cat registries. We work with [relevant registry, e.g. TICA or CFA] so each kitten comes with pedigree documentation to verify its lineage and breed purity.

  • We typically allow kittens to go to their new homes at 12–14 weeks of age. This ensures they are fully weaned, litter-trained, and have had at least two vaccine rounds, which is consistent with responsible breeder practices.

  • Our breeding cats are health tested for common hereditary conditions. For Bengals, that may include genetic testing for PRA (progressive retinal atrophy) and PK-deficiency, as well as cardiac screening (HCM). We also screen for general wellness, and provide vaccination history, deworming, and veterinary records.

  • We provide a written sales agreement that includes a health guarantee. This agreement specifies what is covered, for how long (e.g. genetic conditions), and any return or refund terms should issues arise. 

  • Our kittens are raised in our home, not in cages. They are socialized daily with humans, other cats, and in a safe, enriched environment. This ensures they become confident, well-adjusted pets.

  • Absolutely. We are happy to share references from families who have adopted our kittens. We believe in transparency and want you to feel confident about your purchase.

    • Persian: Long, luxurious coat requires daily brushing to prevent mats.

    • Egyptian Mau & Bengal: Shorter coats, but still benefit from weekly brushing to reduce shedding and keep their coat healthy.

    • All kittens will also require dental care, good-quality nutrition, and regular veterinary checkups.

  • Consider your lifestyle:

    • If you want an energetic, playful cat that can climb and explore, a Bengal or Mau may be a great fit.

    • If you prefer a calm, affectionate cat and don’t mind grooming, a Persian might suit you better.
      We’ll happily discuss each breed’s personality and help you choose a kitten that matches your home and expectations. 

  • Yes — we ask that pet adopters spay or neuter their kitten by a certain age (per our contract). This helps prevent unwanted breeding and supports responsible pet ownership.

  • Our relationship doesn’t end when the kitten goes home. We provide lifetime breeder support — we’re always happy to answer questions about health, training, feeding, or behavior. We also encourage you to bring your kitten back for check-ins or advice as needed.
