      What is a price of a kitten?
      The pricing of Oriental kittens in our cattery is determined by various criteria, primarily based on how well the kitten conforms to breed standards. Factors such as the purity of eye color, the overall beauty of the body and head, the shape and set of the ears, and whether the kitten is suitable for a show career contribute to the pricing.

      Additionally, the coat color plays a role, with kittens featuring rare colors like cinnamon being valued higher. Breeding such colors requires more effort and time due to the non-direct inheritance of the cinnamon color gene.

      The cost of our kittens is above average due to our responsible breeding practices.

      • All our breeding cats undergo testing for 40+ genetic health tests including Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Blood Type Testing. This means that all kittens born in our cattery are free from inheriting these genes.
      • Our cats actively participate in exhibitions.
      • As law-abiding citizens, we ensure that all necessary taxes and other payments related to the activities of the cattery are duly paid.
      • We hold a high regard for our animals.

      We hold a high regard for our animals and strive to find them new owners who are willing to appreciate their uniqueness and the dedicated effort invested in each kitten.

      The Oriental kittens of the modern type are priced 3500 Canadian dollars, while those of the extreme type are in the range of 4000-4500 Canadian dollars. These prices reflect the meticulous breeding efforts and adherence to breed standards that contribute to the overall quality of the kittens.

      Sometimes, the cost of a kitten may be significantly reduced for the following reasons:
      • The kitten may have cosmetic defects that do not impact its health and quality of life but prevent it from participating in breeding programs and exhibitions (for example, incorrect eye color, a kink in the tail, a locket - a white spot on the chest of a fully colored kitten, etc.).
      • If a kitten has reached the age of 6 months but has not yet found its owner, the cost may be significantly reduced. This is because a teenage kitten requires more living space, and due to cohabitation with other cats, it may lead to conflicts within the clan or unwanted mating.
      • An adult cat, retired from breeding, is seeking a new home as it has completed its breeding activities in the cattery.
      • Personal circumstances of the breeder.

      The cost of kittens for breeding purposes is determined exclusively individually!

      The price of a kitten includes: vaccinations according to age and TICA blue slip.
