Buying a purebred kitten isn’t like picking up a gadget from a shop.
It’s about finding a Bengal, Maine Coon, British Shorthair, or Russian Blue kitten that fits your life and knowing exactly what you’re getting into.
We put together this FAQ to answer the questions we get every single day – no fluff, just real answers.


General Questions About Our Purebred Kittens

Are your kittens really purebred?

Yes.
Every Bengal, Maine Coon, British Shorthair, and Russian Blue kitten we sell is purebred and comes with paperwork proving it.
We work with trusted bloodlines and screen for health and breed traits before breeding.

How do I know your kittens are healthy?

We provide health records for every kitten.
They’re vet-checked, vaccinated, dewormed, and raised in a clean home environment before they leave us.
We also give a health guarantee so you’re covered against major hereditary issues.

What age do kittens leave your home?

Usually 12 to 14 weeks.
That gives them time to be weaned, vaccinated, and socialised before heading to new families.

Do you sell kittens outside the UK?

Yes.
We ship internationally to select countries.
We follow all airline and import regulations to make sure it’s safe and legal.


Pricing and Deposits

How much do your kittens cost?

Prices vary depending on breed, colour, and pedigree.
Bengals and Maine Coons are typically higher due to demand and breeding costs.
We give clear pricing upfront – no hidden extras.

Is there a deposit to reserve a kitten?

Yes.
Deposits hold a kitten exclusively for you and are usually non-refundable.
This is because we stop advertising the kitten once it’s reserved.

Can I move my deposit to another kitten?

If you change your mind about breed or timing, we can often transfer your deposit to another kitten or future litter.


Shipping and Delivery FAQs

Do you deliver kittens across the UK?

Yes.
We ship nationwide using trusted pet couriers.
The cost is usually £150 to £200 depending on distance.

How do you ship kittens outside the UK?

We use approved airlines and pet couriers.
We handle the health certificates and export paperwork on our side, and we help guide you through your country’s import rules.

Is shipping safe for kittens?

Yes.
We use climate-controlled transport, provide cosy carriers, and schedule travel to minimize stress.
We’ve successfully shipped Bengals, Maine Coons, British Shorthairs, and Russian Blues to families abroad without issues.

Can I track the shipment?

For domestic courier deliveries, we provide updates directly.
For international flights, we give you airline tracking and stay in touch throughout.


Health and Care FAQs

What vaccinations do your kittens have before leaving?

All kittens are given age-appropriate vaccinations.
You’ll receive a record showing what’s been done and when the next dose is due.

Do you test for FIV and FeLV?

Yes.
Our breeding cats are tested clear, and kittens are raised in FIV/FeLV-free homes.

Do you guarantee against genetic conditions?

We screen parent cats for breed-specific conditions and provide a written health guarantee covering major hereditary issues.

What do I feed my kitten when I bring them home?

We provide a diet sheet and starter food so you can keep them on the same diet during transition.
Switching food too quickly can upset their stomach.


Breed-Specific Questions

Are Bengal kittens hyperactive?

Bengals are active and playful, so they need space and stimulation.
If you want a quiet lap cat, a British Shorthair or Russian Blue might suit you better.

Do Maine Coons get along with kids?

Yes.
Maine Coons are known as gentle giants and usually do well with children and other pets.

Are British Shorthairs really low-maintenance?

Yes.
They have plush coats that are easy to care for and calm personalities, making them great for busy households.

Do Russian Blues shed a lot?

Russian Blues shed less than most breeds and have hypoallergenic tendencies, but no cat is truly allergy-free.


Adoption Process FAQs

How do I reserve a kitten?

How do I prepare my home for a new kitten?

Set up a safe room with:

  • Litter box.

  • Food and water.

  • Scratching post.

  • Bed or blanket.

Introduce them slowly to the rest of the house.

Can I adopt two kittens at once?

Yes.
In fact, adopting siblings can help with socialization and reduce loneliness.


Aftercare and Support

Do you offer advice after I bring the kitten home?

Yes.
We stay available for questions about diet, behaviour, and general care long after purchase.

What if I can’t keep my kitten?

Life happens.
If circumstances change, contact us first – we’ll help rehome the kitten safely.
