Thinking of Purchasing One of Our Kittens?
There are a few things we need to know about you when we first... such as:
1. Tell us a little about your home... Do you live alone? do you have kids? if so, what ages, do you have other pets? You get the picture, right? We want to be sure we place the right personality kitten in your home. By the time the kittens are around 3 months old, we can tell which ones will do better in a quieter home environment and which would do well with a more active home.
2. Then, we would like to know if you've had other pets, and if so, what kind... again, will this be your first pet or do you have experience with cats?
3. How did you find us? Internet search? friend referral? met at a cat show? ... or???
4. Where do you live? Will you be able to pick up in person or do we need to ship?

Costs to Ship
If we need to ship the kitten to you, below are the basic fees. If you are picking up in person, the only fees you will be required to pay are for the spay/neuter and FVRCP. We deworm and treat for fleas for all our kittens at our expense.
Airfare. Airfare is typically around $290 depending. We use primarily Alaska Air and Delta.
Health Cert. The cost for the health cert is $115
Spay/neuter. We use a low cost spay/neuter clinic which is subsidized by the County. The cost is $45 for spays and neuters. We require all kittens sold as pets to be spay/neuter prior to shipping.
Vaccinations. If we can get the vaccinations when we are having the kitten spay/neutered, we can take advantage of the clinics lower costs. Cost from the clinic is $12 for rabies and $16 for FVRCP. Microchip is $25. The microchip is optional. FVRCP isn't. The airlines require rabies only for kittens over 4 months of age so if we can ship around 12 weeks of age, we aren't required to get the rabies vaccination. As long as your cat will be kept indoors and not exposed to wildlife that may carry rabies, the rabies isn't really necessary for the overall health of your cat. Microchips are only required for international shipments. However, if you want us to have the chip put in when the cat is at the clinic, please let us know so we fill out the paperwork correctly and plan to add the additional cost of $25 for the chip.
Carrier, pad, food tray is $60.50.

or... hand delivered to your airport
We are starting a new service to hand deliver your kitten to you at your airport. The cost will be about the same, but the kitten will be inside the cabin of the plane in our care for the entire trip. If you prefer to have your kitten delivered personally to you, please let me know so I can check on flight availability.
Requesting Price and/or a Sales Agreement
If you want a sales agreement from us for a specific kitten, email us a PSALM0512@YAHOO.com. All our pet kittens are priced the same no matter the color or show quality. However, if you are interested in showing, be sure you let us know that. We will help you get started and will do our best to make sure you get the best show quality kitten we can. If you're going to show, we want you TO WIN as much as you do. We request a deposit of 50% of the purchase price when you return the sales agreement which is a word document. Just fill in the blanks and return as an email attachment.. For your protection and for ours, all payments are made through Paypal. The balance of the purchase price and any shipping, spay/neuter fees, vaccinations, etc are due 15 days before you receive your new kitty. Once we have your signed sales agreement and deposit, we mark the kitten sold and move the photos of your kitten to a new page for SOLD KITTENS. That way, anyone looking for a kitten will not be confused as to which kittens are available and which are already spoken for. I will continue to post new photos of your kittens every couple of weeks so you can watch your new baby as he/she grows.
Reserving a kitten...
|
If you want to reserve a kitten from a future litter, we will send you a Reserved Kitten Sales Agreement. We ask for a 25% deposit with a reserve sales agreement and the remainder of the deposit when you select a specific kitten.
|
I will replace the Reserved Kitten Sales Agreement with a new sales agreement for the specific kitten you've decided will be the best match your home and family. As soon as we've received your signed sales agreement and the balance of the deposit, the kitten is marked SOLD on the website and photos are moved to a Sold Kittens page so you can continue to watch for new photos as we post them so you can watch your new baby grow.
I hope the information on this page will answer most of your questions about purchasing a kitten from us, however, please, PLEASE email me if I can provide any additional information regarding our kittens. I love to hear from the people that are visiting our website. Email address is psalm0512@yahoo.com. (BTW, in case you are interested, Psalm 5:12 says God will surround you with His favor AS A SHIELD.
