Kittens
We have kittens! See them on Terrie's Litter page or Rinca's Litter page.
After viewing our kittens please return to this page to read our process of adoption.
Our kittens are ready to leave home from around 12 weeks of age after being:
weaned, wormed and litter trained,
health checked by a veterinarian,
vaccinated against cat flu viruses and enteritis (at 8 and 11 weeks),
registered with Felis Britannica and FIFe,
loved, played with and properly socialised.
Puddha kittens leave for their new homes with:
a five generation pedigree,
a comprehensive information pack,
four weeks free insurance with Pet Plan,
vaccination record,
a contract of sale,
a neutering certificate to be completed by a vet,
a supply of familiar food,
a lifetime of support, help and assistance for their new families as well as a 'come-home ticket', which means that I will always take the cat back if need be, no matter how old.
Prices
We charge the going rate for our kittens (which is currently around £350 for shorthairs and around £400 for semi-longhairs.) People often ask why pedigreed cats cost so much. I estimate that it costs around £250 per kitten to raise them. That includes food, litter, registration, vaccinations and vets fees. In addition to this I pay out annually for insurance, club subscription, website hosting, advertising, DNA testing, blood tests and stud fees. And if I show my cats, that costs too. On top of all the expense I work extremely hard raising and socialising our kittens so that other people can treasure them. If you see kittens advertised for significantly less there is usually something amiss.
Our process of adoption:
If you make contact by email I will send you our 'kitten enquiry form' just to get a few details from you. Alternatively, give me a call. We can then usually make an arrangement for you to visit.
Visits are friendly and informal. They give us the opportunity to get to know each other better. You can meet all our cats, look over the kitten's paperwork and ask any relevent questions. There is no obligation to buy and I reserve the right to refuse to sell. After the visit you can go away and have a think before commiting to one of our kittens.
To reserve a kitten you will need to pay a deposit of £100. The deposit is non-refundable. Once I receive your deposit your chosen kitten(s) is reserved for you until collection at 12-13 weeks of age.
On collecting your kitten you must sign our contract of sale. The ownership paper (the certified pedigree) stays with me until your kitten has been neutered, at which point ownership can be transfered into your name.
At any point along the way and even after taking your kitten home I am available to answer your questions.
Breeding and Show Cats
I am working towards a personal goal, specialising in Seychellois and Oriental Longhair (Javanese) cats. Because my breeding programme is progressive it is unlikely that we will produce cats of show quality in the mid-term. So if you are looking for a show cat, I'm not the best breeder to approach at present.
I consider selling cats for breeding to people who have high standards of cat welfare and who know what they are trying to achieve. However, it is only worth approaching me about a breeding cat if you are working on a similar programme to myself and want the longhair gene in your line.
If there is anything else you would like to know about adopting a Puddha kitten, please contact me.
