Terms & Conditions
Thank you for considering one of our kittens! We want our purchasing process to be simple, transparent, and fair to everyone. Please review the following policies before choosing and reserving your kitten.
Standard Purchasing Process
- Choose your kitten and complete our online adoption application.
- Once approved, you will receive an invoice for the $350 non-refundable, non-transferable security deposit payable through PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App.
- Once we receive your deposit, your kitten is officially reserved, and the current listed price is locked in.
- We will email your personalized purchase contract along with bank wire instructions for final payment.
- We must receive the remaining balance by bank wire transfer within 48 hours of placing your deposit.
Security Deposits & Reservations
A security deposit is the only way to officially reserve a kitten.
Our standard security deposit is $350 and is non-refundable and non-transferable.
We often have multiple families interested in the same kitten. For this reason, submitting an application, receiving approval, speaking with us by phone, exchanging emails, or telling us you intend to purchase a kitten does not place the kitten on hold.
Until we receive the required security deposit, the kitten remains available to other approved families.
Once we receive the deposit, the kitten is officially reserved, the current price is locked in, and the 48-hour period for final payment begins.
Payment Policy
Security deposits: PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App
Standard final payment: Bank wire transfer or Zelle
PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App are accepted for security deposits only and cannot be used to pay the full purchase price.
“Ready to go” Cash Purchases
We accept cash payment only for kittens specifically listed as “Ready to Go.”
For a cash purchase:
- A $1,000 non-refundable, non-transferable security deposit is required.
- You may pay the remaining balance in cash at pickup.
- Pickup must take place within 5 days of placing the deposit.
- You must pick up cash-sale kittens directly from us.
- We do not meet at airports or other locations for cash transactions.
Need More Time?
If you cannot pick up your “Ready to Go” kitten within the initial 5-day period, limited short-term boarding is available:
- First additional week: $700
- Second additional week: $1,000
- Maximum boarding: Two additional weeks
(We will not board a kitten for longer than two additional weeks.)
Boarding fees cover the kitten’s additional food, litter, daily care, grooming, and any age-appropriate vaccinations that become due during the extended stay.
All remaining balances, boarding fees, and applicable charges must be paid in full before we release the kitten.
Adoption Requirements
- A completed online adoption application is required for all prospective families.
- We approve based on what we believe is in the kitten’s best interest. Financial ability alone does not guarantee adoption approval.
- We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue a sale at any time before the adoption is completed.
- Kittens must weigh at least 2 – 2.5 pounds before leaving our nursery, unless the breeder approves otherwise based on the individual kitten’s age, health, and development.
- We do not offer in-home visits or meet-and-greets.
We want every adoption to be a good fit for both our kittens and their future families. Our policies keep the process fair, consistent, and focused on each kitten’s well-being.
Pricing
Each kitten is individually priced based on several factors, including:
- Color and rarity
- Facial structure and overall appearance
- Ear placement and body type
- Pedigree and individual qualities
- Our willingness to part with the kitten or keep him or her for our own breeding program
Prices are subject to change until we receive a security deposit. We kindly ask prospective families to respect our pricing and refrain from contacting us to negotiate or debate a kitten’s price.
New Photos & Price Changes
Kittens can change considerably as they mature. Their coloring, coat, eye color, facial structure, and overall quality often become more apparent with age. Because of this, a kitten’s price may increase when we take new photos, even before we post them to our website. To secure a kitten at the currently listed price, we must receive the required security deposit that same day.
Discounted Kittens
From time to time, we may offer select kittens at a reduced price, sometimes around $3,500. These kittens have already been discounted, so no additional discounts or promotions apply. Discounts cannot be combined or stacked.
Why Our Kittens Are Priced Accordingly
For more than 37 years, we have dedicated ourselves to responsible breeding, careful selection, DNA testing, health screening, socialization, and maintaining high standards for every kitten we raise.
Our program includes significant investments in:
- Premium nutrition
- Veterinary care and health screening
- Vaccinations and preventative care
- Spacious, clean, enriched environments
- Professional grooming products and supplies
- Toys and enrichment
- Extensive daily care and socialization
Our goal is not to produce the least expensive Persian kitten. Our goal is to raise healthy, beautiful, well-socialized kittens backed by decades of experience. If your primary consideration is finding the lowest-priced kitten possible, we respectfully encourage you to consider your local humane society or animal shelter.
Photos & Videos
We photograph our kittens professionally and update their website photos as often as possible.
To allow us to devote our time to caring for our cats and kittens, we do not provide individual cell-phone photos, “quick pics,” additional photos, or additional videos upon request. For more candid photos and videos, please visit our Facebook and Instagram pages, where we regularly share content from our nursery.
Adult Appearance
We use our experience and knowledge of our bloodlines to provide our best professional estimate of how a kitten may mature. However, we cannot guarantee:
- Adult eye color
- Adult weight or size
- Adult coat color or shading
Kittens continue to change as they mature, and genetics can sometimes surprise even the most experienced breeder.
Cosmetic Imperfections
Minor cosmetic imperfections are not always visible in photographs or videos. For this reason, any kitten disclosed as having a cosmetic flaw or imperfection is available for local pickup only. No exceptions. This gives the buyer the opportunity to see the kitten in person at pickup and ensures transparency before the kitten leaves our care.
Important Reminders
Before reserving a kitten, please remember:
- A completed adoption application is required.
- A security deposit is the only way to officially reserve a kitten.
- The standard security deposit is $350 and is non-refundable and non-transferable.
- The standard remaining balance is due by bank wire transfer within 48 hours.
- We do not hold kittens based on phone conversations, emails, applications, verbal promises, or intentions to purchase.
- Prices may change until we receive the required deposit.
- Discounted kittens are not eligible for additional discounts.
- We do not provide additional photos or videos upon request.
- Adult size, eye color, and coat color cannot be guaranteed.
- Kittens with disclosed cosmetic imperfections are local pickup only.
- We reserve the right to determine whether an adoption is an appropriate fit for one of our kittens.
A deposit is what officially reserves your kitten and locks in the current price.
A Healthy Cat Starts with a Strong Kitten Foundation
Before choosing one of our kittens or placing a deposit, please understand that we do not determine when a kitten is ready to leave based on age alone. Every kitten develops at a different pace, and their health, development, and individual readiness will always come before a date on the calendar.
There is a reason our family has been raising Persian kittens since 1989. We take the foundation we give each kitten very seriously because we believe a healthy cat starts with a strong kitten foundation.
Every Kitten Develops at Their Own Pace
As a general guideline, our kittens must reach approximately 2–2.5 pounds and be personally approved by the breeder before leaving our care.
Many things influence how quickly a kitten develops, including the size of the parents, the number of kittens in the litter, individual growth rate, weaning progress, confidence, and overall maturity. Some kittens simply need a little more time than others—and we are perfectly happy to give them that time.
Before approving a kitten for release, we look at the whole kitten, including:
- Weight and physical development
- Weaning progress
- Confidence and independence
- Litter pan skills
- Social and emotional maturity
- Overall readiness for the transition into a new home
We will never rush a kitten out the door simply because a certain date works better for someone’s schedule.
Mom Still Has Important Work to Do
A mother cat provides her kittens with much more than milk. She has incredibly valuable lessons to teach her babies well beyond eight weeks of age. During those important weeks, Mom and the kitten’s littermates help teach appropriate feline behavior, confidence, independence, boundaries, grooming habits, proper litter pan skills, and many of the little social lessons that help shape a well-adjusted adult cat.
They are learning how to be cats—and those lessons simply cannot be rushed or replaced.
After nearly four decades of raising Persian kittens, we have learned that giving a kitten a little extra time when they need it can make a tremendous difference.
Who Determines the Release Date?
The breeder determines each kitten’s release date.
You may receive a guesstimated timeframe for when we believe your kitten may be ready. Please understand that this is only an estimate—not a guaranteed release date. A kitten’s actual release date cannot be determined until we see how that individual kitten develops.
Kittens listed as Ready to Go have already met our requirements and can generally leave within a short period of time. Younger kittens may be reserved in advance, but they cannot leave until they have met our requirements and have been specifically approved for release by the breeder. There are no exceptions to our release policy.
Please do NOT Make Travel Arrangements Around an Estimated Date
This is especially important for families who will be flying in, meeting us at an airport, or using our nanny delivery service.
Please do not purchase airline tickets, reserve hotels, arrange time off work, or make other nonrefundable travel plans based on a guesstimated release date.
Both airport meeting dates and nanny delivery dates are scheduled and confirmed by us. Telling us the date you plan to be at an airport does not automatically mean we will be available to meet you on that date.
Our nanny delivery service is a very limited bonus option that we are happy to offer when scheduling allows. It is not available on a guaranteed or weekly basis.
We will always do our best to coordinate with your family once your kitten is ready, but we cannot rush a kitten’s development or set a release date around airline tickets, vacations, work schedules, hotel reservations, or other travel arrangements.
Please wait until your kitten has been approved for release AND your pickup, airport meeting, or nanny delivery date has been confirmed by us before making nonrefundable plans.
The Kitten Comes Before the Calendar
We understand how exciting it is to bring your new kitten home. We are excited for you, too. But the responsibility we have to that little kitten comes first.
Since 1989, generations of tiny pawprints have passed through our nursery and into the homes and hearts of families across the country. Through all those years, our promise has remained the same:
Build a strong foundation.
Give them all the time they need.
Love them like they’re ours until the day they become yours.
The calendar doesn’t decide when they’re ready. The kitten does.
