Policies
We work hard every day to make life of our clients better and happier
The voluntary code of ethics from The International Cat Association (TICA) is for breeders that voluntarily want to sign and agree to TICA's codes by; being a member in good standing, agreeing to breed discriminately, and also find good homes for the kittens.

  • Screening
    Buying a kitten, you get a friend and a companion for you and your family for many years. Our cattery looks for educated and reliable owners for our kittens. Be ready to be asked about your previous and current pets, your family situation and your knowledge about raising cats. At the same time, we understand the needs and questions of first-time cat owners and are happy to provide information to help them.

    We want to make sure you will take good care of the cat and will give it the best home. Feel free to ask questions about our cattery, about the breed and anything what you are curious about. We prefer to stay in touch with our customers and will be happy to provide you an informational support for years to come.

    We require kitten buyers to sign a contract which states the kitten will not be allowed to roam outdoors and will not be declawed.
  • Contracts
    All kitten and cat buyers are required to sign a sales contract.
  • Guarantees
    We ensure that our cats are regularly treated for fleas and worms.
    Before leaving the cattery all kittens are vaccinated for rabies, panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, and calici virus. We do not vaccinate against FIP or FeLV, as the danger of side effects from these vaccines is far greater than the risk of indoor-only cats or kittens contracting either of these diseases.

    Mafiosi cattery offers return at our discretion, replacement, or veterinary reimbursement within 3 days if the cat or kitten is found to be, as a result of veterinary consultation, unfit due to illness, congenital malformation or infectious disease obtained in our cattery.

    Mafiosi cattery will not honor any health guarantees if the cat or kitten experiences any of the following:
    - the cat or kitten is vaccinated against FIP or FeLV
    - the cat or kitten is allowed to roam outdoors
    - the cat or kitten is found to have been physically abused or neglected.
  • Realistic Expectations
    Cats are living beings, and complete sterility is biologically impossible. The presence of conditionally pathogenic bacteria, feline herpesvirus, feline coronavirus, and other microorganisms is common even in outwardly healthy cats. This is considered normal within the feline population.

    It is not possible to test for every potential carrier state or guarantee full absence of these agents. Mafiosi Cattery does everything possible to support a strong immune system: high-quality nutrition, a clean environment, and timely vaccinations are the foundation of our kittens’ health.

    The process of socialization and education doesn’t end at the cattery — it begins in the new home. The responsibility for further development, both physical and emotional, lies with the new owner.

    Mafiosi Cattery remains available for ongoing support — whether it’s days or years after your kitten has joined your family. We are here to help with any questions related to health, care, or adaptation.
  • Returns
    At Mafiosi Cattery, we are committed to the well-being of our cats and kittens. We understand that life circumstances can change, but we emphasize that purchasing a kitten is a lifelong responsibility. Our policies reflect our dedication to ensuring our animals are placed in responsible, committed homes.
    Within 14 days of the original purchase date, Mafiosi Cattery may, at our sole discretion, accept the return of a cat or kitten, provided it is returned in the same condition as when it was purchased. Deposits for reservations are non-refundable, and any refund of the purchase price balance is considered on a case-by-case basis at our discretion.

    We retain the right to determine the suitability of all potential buyers to ensure our kittens are placed in stable, responsible homes. The decision to sell a kitten rests solely with Mafiosi Cattery.

    Returns after the initial 14-day period will not be eligible for any refunds, partial or full, as we cannot be responsible for the condition of a cat that has been out of our care for an extended period. Our priority is the welfare of our cats, and we encourage owners to reach out to us in dire situations where no other options are available.

    Buyer assumes financial expencies for returning the cat.
  • Registration
    Mafiosi cattery registers all its cats and litters with TICA. We do not sell any unregistered animals. Our Canadian livestock laws require documentation of proof in order to claim an animal is purebred, otherwise regardless of the parentage of these animals they are not legally purebreds and are not permitted to be legally sold as such.
