Q. How much does a pet kitten cost (what is the price of a kitten)? A. The range is $600-$750, it depends on the breed, color and pattern. Q. At what age can I get my kitten? A. Between 15-16 weeks depending on the kitten and when I can schedule vet appointments. Q. Will my kitten have papers? A. Yes, all my litters and individual kittens are registered with CFA. Q. Will my kitten have all it’s shots? A. Yes, my kittens get vaccines at (approximately) 8, 11 & 14 weeks. Q. Are your cats and kittens guaranteed? A. Yes, to a certain extent. Please read the Kitten & Retired Pet Agreements on the Helpful Information page for details. Q. Do you ship your kittens? A. I really prefer not to. With a some research you should be able to find a breeder within driving distance of your home. Check the Links section of this web page for breeders and referral lists. Q. Do you ever have older cats available? A. Yes, occasionally I will have a retired show cat or retired breeder available. These cats make wonderful pets. An adult cat is good for those people that aren’t interested in going through the kitten stage. Q. Why do you place your retired cats? A. It’s important for a breeder to keep their numbers down. Crowded conditions can lead to health problems and cats & kittens that are not well socialized. If a breeder wants to move their breeding program forward then kittens must be kept and new cats (outcrosses) must be brought in. It just makes sense that the retired cats go to pet homes. I always say just because I know a particular cat isn’t going to be mine forever doesn’t mean I love it any less. Q. What is the cost to adopt a retired cat (what is the price)? A. Basically just the vet costs (spaying/neutering, health check, etc.) $250 for males, $300 for females. Please look at the Helpful Information page for additional information or email me at cats@katsmith.net if you have additional questions.
