Persian & Himalayan Kitten Pricing

My pricing considerations have developed in the last few years. While I strive to give the public a kitten that has CFA qualifications for "top" Persians, that is not my overriding consideration on breeding or pricing. I have a base price of $1200, which most kittens fall under. I do ask more for rare colors like solid chocolate Persians kittens or chocolate tortie Himalayan cats, or kittens of very high quality or in high demand, such as white Persian kittens. I also charge $500 and up, for breeding rights and do not sell rights except on certain occasions when I feel that they'll be going to a teeny tiny breeder like myself.

You'll be able to find kittens at a lower price. But, I can guarantee you'll not find kittens who have more attention. care and socialization given to them.

I stay very small and don't have the quantity of kittens other breeders might have, so that I can spend the kind of time I think is needed with my feline family. Each cat gets hugged and loved on and played with every single day. I stay small that no one feels neglected, which I think can happen, if the "cat to people" ratio is too high! I think the reason my kittens seem to make such incredible, loving pets is that I spend so much time with them every day. Each new baby is handled, talked to and physically loved, in order that they love that human connection. I purposely introduce them to loud noises like the vacuum and washing machine, along with a very methodical method of weaning as they are growing up in order to make them very well-rounded, socially. I'm really proud that I am able to provide such wonderful companions.

And I endeavor to give that same care and attention to the people getting a . My favorite part is the joy I'm able to provide. I understand this is a large purchase, but more importantly, a very exciting time! I love sharing in that time and I think if you asked the people who have dealt with me, they would tell you that I always gave them the attention they deserved. Even after the deposit has been placed on a kitten, I stay in close touch with each family, sending updated pictures of the baby every couple of weeks or so, as time permits; so the growth can be seen and recorded.

Probably 30% of the homes my babies go to are homes that have lost a beloved family member...another Persian or Himalayan. And over and over again, the age that they seem to live to is 16 years..sometimes even 20 years! I do give a two-year health guarantee against anything genetic, but if something tragic happened within the first 5 years, I would do my best to replace the kitten at a reduced price; and to work with the family. Thank goodness, I have not had to face something like this; but I think my customers know that I am committed to them, even after the sale.

In addition to the comments people have submitted to me, I am happy to forward you emails from people who have bought kittens, and the phone number of my vet. It's important that you know how committed a breeder is, not only to the adults and babies, but the customers we're serving.

Shipping

We ship exclusively with Continental Airlines Cargo. You must make sure Continental will fly a kitten into the airport of your choice. I will use another airline if Continental is not available, but they all charge more. Because of increase in the cost of the vet and shipping expenses, I've had to raise shipping charges to $350, which includes:

  • Health/shot record along with written guarantee from meow house
  • Health certificate from licensed veterinarian
  • Airline approved carrier
  • Big, fuzzy fleece blanket that is tied up in the carrier like a hammock; it's a very comfy ride!
  • Small amount of "Taste of the Wild" food.

$400 will reserve the kitten of your choice - which is nonrefundable, but of course, goes toward the price of your kitten. The balance must be paid in full, two weeks prior to the shipping date. You may pay by cashier's check, cash, or PayPal (4% additional fee for PayPal transactions). If balance is not sent within that time frame, the kitten may be resold without any return of the deposit.

All deposits are taken in good faith, and the kitten is then taken off the market and no longer available for anyone else. Under NO circumstances will any deposits be returned, so please make sure that you want your kitten!

Kittens are usually available at 10 to 12 weeks. They will be fully weaned and litter box trained and have had their first AND possibly, second set of shots, visit with my vet, and been wormed twice. They will also have had a couple of baths, manicures, and lots of practice using a scratching post! I strive to have your baby fully socialized and be used to the necessary grooming.

I do have the right to refuse a sale and will promptly refund any deposit, if the situation arises.
