Pricing & Purchase Info
For those interested in learning more about our cattery, its offerings and terms of adoption.
Pet prices at our cattery range from $3000 to $5000, depending on the type, color, and complexity of the pattern. Payment can be made through PayPal (debit or credit cards are accepted), cash, or wire transfer. For those interested in purchasing two pets, we may offer a discount.
Please note that prices do not include shipping costs, which depend on the airline and generally cost around $700 within the U.S. if we are talking about cargo shipping. The shipping cost includes a travel crate, a veterinarian's health travel certificate (CVI), and obtaining additional required veterinary paperwork, such as breed verification and an acclimation letter signed by a licensed veterinarian. Please note that I am a breeder, not a shipping agent. I can assist with this, but I am not obliged to provide this service. Please read my article about transportation options.

We do not take deposits for unborn kittens. We have a waiting list where people sign up by filling out the form in the "Contacts" section on our website. When the kittens are born, I wait until they open their eyes and look photogenic before taking the first photos. During this time, we do not publish photos of the kittens on the website but begin notifying people on the waiting list by emailing them photos and information about the kittens.
Those who wish to adopt a kitten respond to this email and confirm their intention. We ask them to fill out a questionnaire, and kittens can only be purchased by those who are approved. To reserve a kitten, a deposit of $500 is required. Payment is made via PayPal only after you have read the contract terms on our website and confirmed your agreement with them. Once I receive the deposit, I send the contract for signing.
After everyone on the waiting list has been notified, all kittens (both reserved and available) are posted on the website with corresponding markers indicating their status.

Each kitten's page has an events calendar so that all buyers are aware of the procedures. Our kittens visit the veterinarian four times before they are ready to move to their new homes. Kittens receive three rounds of FVRCP vaccinations, a rabies vaccination, are tested for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus, undergo a fecal parasite check, are neutered/spayed, and microchipped.
We update kitten photos on our website every three to four weeks, and those who have reserved a kitten receive notifications about these updates. We also inform everyone about all appointments and visits to the vet. I also strive to frequently post photos and videos of the kittens on our Instagram, and these are reposted on the cattery’s Facebook page. Additionally, closer to the pickup date, I send a detailed email about what food the kitten eats and what litter it uses.
Cataristocrat Cattery is a USDA licensed LLC, and we pay taxes.

We recently got the most beautiful Oriental Shorthair from Olga and her cattery and we could not be more pleased with the whole experience. From the first contact to the last it’s been a very easy but thorough process. Olga made sure i was the right fit for the cat, gave me all the information i requested, answered all my questions, the payment process was very simple and before i knew it a flight was booked and my new family member was on her way. Elvira (formerly Coco Chanel) is so well adjusted and so sweet!! Plus she’s incredibly healthy and well loved. If i could have more cats they’d all be from Cataristocrat.
I want to thank Olga for our sweet boy Stormy. We’ve had him just over a week and he has added so much joy to our family. This is our first Bengal and even with all the research we’d done and all the help from Olga we were not prepared for such a love bug. He amazes us everyday with how smart, unique and lovable he is. Olga was wonderful to work with and after discovering what we wanted in a cat was able to match us up with exactly what we wanted. Since we live in WV and it would have been a five hr drive one way to pick up Stormy we had him flown in. Olga did all the hard work for us after we gave her several airports near our location. He arrived happy and healthy. Again Thank You Olga for breeding such wonderful cats and sharing them!
I love my beautiful Oriental Shorthair, Zarina! She is the perfect combination of smart, loving, social, brave, and adventurous. I have never met a cat quite like her, and I feel so lucky to have her as part of my family. Olga was extremely helpful throughout the process. She kept me informed with photos and updates on my kitten and provided quick responses to any questions I had. Additionally, Olga’s website contains a wealth of information. I couldn’t recommend Cataristocrat enough!
