Purebred kittens for sale in the UK should come with more than a pretty face.
They should come with peace of mind.
That’s why every Bengal, Maine Coon, British Shorthair, and Russian Blue kitten from us comes with a clear, written health guarantee.

Why a Health Guarantee Matters

People ask us the same questions every day.

“How do I know this kitten is healthy?”
“What if something shows up after I bring them home?”
“Do you cover genetic issues?”

These are fair questions.
Bringing a kitten home is a 15-20 year commitment.
You shouldn’t have to gamble with their health.

Our Promise to You

We raise kittens the right way – not in cages, not rushed, not overbred.
Every kitten is:

  • Vet-checked before leaving our care.

  • Vaccinated to the right stage for their age.

  • Dewormed and treated for fleas as needed.

  • Given plenty of human interaction and socialization.

When you take home a kitten from Happy Kittens, you’re getting one we’d keep for ourselves.

What Our Health Guarantee Covers

Our health guarantee applies to all kittens we sell: Bengal, Maine Coon, British Shorthair, and Russian Blue.

It includes:

  • Initial health check – proof your kitten was examined and cleared by a qualified vet.

  • Vaccination record – showing what’s been given and when the next dose is due.

  • Free from major health defects – like serious congenital or genetic issues detectable at the time of sale.

  • Clear parasite treatment history – for worms, fleas, and ticks.

What It Doesn’t Cover

We’re upfront about what we can’t guarantee:

  • Minor, treatable conditions like occasional diarrhoea from stress after moving.

  • Health issues caused by poor diet, neglect, or lack of vet care after collection.

  • Accidents or injuries after the kitten leaves our home.

  • Illnesses picked up after leaving us (like colds from meeting other pets).

How Long the Health Guarantee Lasts

The guarantee covers:

  • Immediate post-purchase health – You have 72 hours to have your kitten checked by your own vet.

  • Genetic conditions – We cover certain hereditary issues for up to 12 months.

If your vet finds something serious during the first check, contact us straight away with documentation.

Why We Do It This Way

We want buyers to feel secure, but we also need fairness.
We can control health and care while the kitten’s with us.
Once they leave, their environment changes.
That’s why the first vet check on your end matters so much.

Our Breeding Standards

This isn’t just about paperwork.
Healthy kittens come from healthy parents.
We carefully select breeding cats for:

  • Strong genetics.

  • Good temperament.

  • No known hereditary diseases common in the breed.

Bengals, Maine Coons, British Shorthairs, and Russian Blues each have specific genetic risks.
We screen for those risks before breeding.

The Process Step by Step

  1. Before sale:

    • Kitten sees our vet.

    • We keep health records updated.

  2. At collection:

    • You receive paperwork (vet record, vaccinations, deworming info).

    • We explain what to expect in the first few days.

  3. After collection:

    • You take the kitten to your own vet within 72 hours.

    • If there’s an issue, notify us with the vet’s report.

Common Questions About Our Health Guarantee

Are vaccinations included in the price?

Yes. All kittens leave with age-appropriate vaccinations already done.

Do you test for FIV and FeLV?

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

What about genetic testing?

We screen parents for breed-specific genetic conditions to reduce risk.

Can I return a kitten if something’s wrong?

If your vet finds a serious health issue covered by our guarantee, we’ll discuss options, including refund or replacement.

Do you guarantee behavior?

No. Behavior depends on breed traits and how you raise the kitten, but we do early socialization to set them up well.

Why Health Guarantees Are Rare in Purebred Sales

Not every breeder offers one.
Some rely on trust alone.
We think buyers deserve better.

This guarantee sets us apart because it’s written, clear, and fair to both sides.

Tips for Buyers – Keeping Your Kitten Healthy

Our job doesn’t stop when you collect your kitten.
Your part starts then.

  • Book a vet visit within 72 hours.

  • Keep vaccinations up to date.

  • Feed the recommended diet – sudden changes can cause stomach issues.

  • Provide a calm settling-in period – moving is stressful for kittens.

  • Watch for signs of illness: sneezing, diarrhoea, lethargy – contact your vet if unsure.
