This is probably the best cattery for orientals/siamese kitties in the states! Olga is so helpful and invested in the whole process. You can tell she is very concerned about the well being of all her kitties that she sends out. We are very grateful for Olga and our new little addition to the family!
I have wanted an ebony Oriental Shorthair for many many years, and several months ago we finally started looking for a breeder. The minute I found Cataristocrat’s webpage, I knew we’d found our match. Olga was wonderful to deal with all throughout the process. We received regular updates through photos and videos, and she was always quick to respond to any questions, during the months we waited for our kitten to be ready to come home. We had to have our baby shipped to us, and Olga prepared everything so carefully to ensure she travelled safe and snug. The minute we got the little one home, it was apparent how much care and love went into her breeding and raising. Our kitten is not only beautiful, but sweet, playful, and healthy. At her routine “wellness” appointment, the day after her arrival, the vet tech remarked what a great cat we have adopted, and we couldn’t agree more! Also, the appointment was a breeze because Olga had taken care of all kitten vaccinations, deworming, spay, and even nail clipping. We are so in love with our new addition to the family, and cannot say enough about what a great experience we have had with Cataristocrat! Thank you, Olga!
Cataristocrat is a great cattery. Olga goes the extra mile to keep you informed, the website, updates, FAQ and pictures are great. More importantly,it is clear that she loves the cats and kittens in her care! Our kitten, Nox, was so well socialized that he took to our family instantly. Overall an excellent experience!
