Early-age Spaying/Neutering of Cats

Today, nobody disputes the fact that gonadectomy (a surgical procedure by which ovaries or testicles are removed) in animals not intended for breeding is neither a tribute to fashion nor a whim.

Tips for Bringing a New Oriental
or Siamese Kitten Home

Give the kitten space: When you first bring your new kitten home, it's important to give them some space to adjust to their new surroundings. Set up a designated area in your home, such as a spare room or a bathroom, where your kitten can stay for the first few days.

We spent a considerable amount of time researching Bengal breeding catteries and were fortunate to find Cataristocrat. Paradea is our first Bengal and Olga made the process as well as transition very easy to welcome Paradea into our family. We live in Ohio and were able to visit Paradea at Cataristocrat. It's obvious from our experience and visit that breeding Bengals and Orientals is more than a business for Olga, it’s her passion as well. Olga sent videos and pictures leading up to the transition and has checked in to see how everyone is doing. She deeply cares for her kittens and wants to make sure your family as well as the kitten is a good match and you are both prepared to welcome each other into one another's lives. Olga prepared a welcome kit containing food, litter (new and used), and toys Paradea was familiar with to help with her transition between families. The transition has gone very well! If you’re looking for an affectionate, well behaved and socialized Bengal to become part of your family I would highly recommend contacting Olga at Cataristocrat!

Worth. Every. Penny. As a veterinarian that has taken care of animals for more than 20 years, I could not be more impressed (and in love) with the Oriental Shorthair I got from Cataristocat. The first night, he snuggled and purred in the crook of my neck. He is so smart, engaging and a love bug!!! I will get all my future babies here!!!!!

We just brought our new baby, a beautiful black female oriental shorthair, home last week from picking her up from Olga’s Cataristocrat Cattery. We reserved our baby just after birth. Our entire experience with Olga has been very good. Olga and her husband have implemented a user friendly interactive website that kept us up-to-date and informed about our kitty's progress- her growth, health, vet appointments and procedures during the sixteen weeks we waited for the pickup date to arrive. My husband and I elected to drive to Ashland to pickup our new baby. Upon our pickup, Olga had everything well organized to turnover to us all the breeder and veterinary paperwork, resource information, kitten toys, dry and wet food, and litter. We can tell that Olga's heart went into caring for our baby, the kitten is so loving, sweet and well-mannered. Olga did a great job initially raising our kitten with social skills making the transition with our new baby into our home easy and effortless. Olga has followed up with us showing her commitment as a first class breeder. We love our Cataristscat kitten and recommend Olga without reservation. Olga, thank you for everything! Chip & Tammy
