PRICING & POLICIES

PRICING:
MY KITTENS ARE $950 & UP, TO PET HOMES ONLY.   This means you do not wish to breed your kitten, you are purchasing your kitten for the sole purpose of a loving companion.   The price of my kittens is determined by the quality and coloring of the kitten and the pedigree of the parent.

WE DO NOT OFFER BREEDING RIGHTS ON ANY OF OUR KITTENS, PET HOMES ONLY.

Kittens should be spayed or nuetered before the age of 6 months old as stated on my contract.   Any kitten found to be used for breeding without permission or kept in inhumane conditions will result in my right to remove the cat/kitten from your home with no refund or replacement.

If you are interested in being on my waiting list for a kitten, please let me know.   I give the families who have placed a deposit first pick of my kittens, then I contact families on my waiting list before I offer them for sale to anyone else.   A deposit of $200 is required to hold a kitten once you have made your choice.   Deposits are non-refundable so make sure you are positive you really want the kitten you choose. If you have any second guesses or doubts about purchasing a kitten, my advice to you is to wait.   Purchasing a kitten is a huge decision and should not be taken lightly.   You are commiting to providing my kitten with a loving, healthy forever home so make sure that you are ready for the responsibilty of owning and caring for one of my beautiful babies.

I keep my kittens until they are 10 to 12 weeks old depending on how they are eating and how well they are developing.   It is my sole discretion as to when I feel a kitten is ready to go to their new forever home, based on how they are maturing.   The balance for your kitten is due at the time of pick up if you are picking up in person or two weeks prior if I am shipping the kitten.   When you pick up your kitten, I will NOT accept a check for the balance, you must bring CASH for the balance.

I start my kittens out at an early age with getting them accustomed to being groomed.   This means your kitten will have had their hair brushed on a regular basis as well as baths and nail trimming.   It is important to keep this habit up so that as your kitten gets older and developes a full adult coat, they are used to being combed and do not mind being bathed and groomed. My cats are so used to being groomed, that most of mine purr and relax in my lap while I groom them.

All of my kittens are seen and given vaccinations by a liscensed veterinarian.     You will receive a full health record as well as a certificate stating that your kitten is healthy, free of parasites and free of any congenital defects.

I reserve the right to cancel or refuse a sale of any kitten, anytime up until the time of delivery, for any reason, if I feel it is not in the best interest of the kitten.

SHIPPING:
Shipping is available although I do prefer for you to pick your kitten up in person or that I hand deliver.   Shipping is $350 which includes the airline fee, crate, & health certificate.   I ship out of Lambert St. Louis airport and sometimes Kansas City airport.   Hand delivery depends on where you are located, mileage and lodging if needed.

When buying a kitten from me, you are agreeing to provide your kitten with proper health care, vaccinations, and regular checkups.   You are agreeing to provide a clean, humane environment, with food and clean water at all times.   My kittens are not to be caged or neglected!

All my kittens are CFA registered and come from champion and grandchampion bloodlines.   Quality, beautiful kittens are my goal, but temperament is the most important trait I looked for when I got my kitties.   Outgoing, affectionate personality is a guarantee if you are buying a kitten from me!!!!!

I no longer give CFA papers on my kittens, unless special arrangements have been made ahead of time.

A FINAL NOTE: PLEASE ONLY CONTACT ME REGARDING A KITTEN IF YOU HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS. I TRULY LOVE MY CATS AND THE BABIES WE RAISE AND AM ONLY INTERESTED IN PLACING THEM IN GOOD LOVING HOMES.  MY FAMILY AND I DEVOTE OUR HEARTS TO OUR BABIES AND ONLY WANT THE BEST FOR THEM.   IN MANY CASES, WHEN INQUIRING ABOUT PURCHASING A KITTEN FROM ME, I WILL ASK FOR A VET REFERENCE AND/OR OTHER REFERENCES.

ATTENTION!!!!!

As of May 14, 2010, I will no longer be allowing people into my home to come and see my cats and kittens until they are at least 8 weeks old and/or ready to go to thier new home. My family experienced a very scary event and we have made this decision for the safety & security of our family. In some cases, if I have already received a deposit from you, and I know that you are genuinely serious about buying a kitten, and have no ill intentions, I may make an exception to this rule. I am sorry for all the families that will miss out on this experience, but the safety of my family and children is the most important thing to me. I do have plenty of references, of people who have been to my home and met my kitties, as well as my veteranarian, and those references are available upon request. When your kitten is ready to go home, you will be able to come and meet our family and kitties at that time. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerly, Christy Phillips
