Health & Medical

Vaccinated twice

Adoption & Reservation

Q: Do you keep a waiting list?
A: We don’t operate a traditional waiting list. Instead, we invite expressions of interest once our babies reach around 8 weeks old and have had their first vaccination and vet check. This way, we only take enquiries for healthy, thriving kittens who are ready to be reserved.

Q: What is the expression of interest for?
A: It’s simply a way for me to get to know a little about you and your family. My goal is to set both you and your kitten up for success and ensure you feel prepared to welcome a new family member. These kittens are raised with so much love and care, and I want them to be just as spoiled and adored in their forever homes. The expression of interest is your chance to show me that you’ll provide the very best home for one of my babies.

Q: How do I reserve a kitten?
A: To reserve a kitten, we require a non-refundable deposit. This secures your kitten until they are ready to join you. Balance payable before pickup

Q: When can I take my kitten home?
A: Kittens are ready for their forever homes at around 14 weeks of age, once they are fully weaned, desexed, and have had their vaccinations.

Q: How much does a kitten cost?
A: Our kittens are priced from $2000-$3500. This includes pedigree papers, desexing, vaccinations, and microchipping.

Living With Your Kitten

Q: How are the kittens raised?
A: Kittens are raised inside our home, exposed to everyday household noises, and our friendly French Bulldog. This helps them grow into confident, well-socialised cats.

Q: What should I prepare before bringing my kitten home?
A: We recommend:

Quality kitten food (we’ll provide a starter pack)
A secure cat carrier
Litter tray & litter
Scratching post
Toys & safe spaces

Q: Will you provide ongoing support?
A: Absolutely! We’re here to answer any questions about your kitten’s health, diet, or behaviour throughout their life.

Transport & Pick-Up

Q: Do you ship kittens outside Auckland?
A: Yes, we can arrange transport across New Zealand at the buyer’s cost. Local pick-up from Auckland is also available by appointment.

Q: What do I need to bring on pick-up day?
