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 got our kitten at the end of December, and we couldn’t be happier! She is so sweet and social, and is the perfect addition to our family! She was definitely raised in the best way! Olga made the process so easy, and even helped us when our local airport could not accept live animal deliveries. Thank you so much! Jordan

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!

The transition from Cataristocrat was very easy considering the plane ride to get here. Olga helped me feel secure and made sure everything was perfect for a smooth flight. My beautiful kitty, Theia, is sociable, litter trained and very playful. So happy with my sweet princess. Highly recommend if you are considering one of her kitties, there are a lot of bad breeders out there that do not care about the animals but this sweet girl was very much loved and healthy. Thank you Cataristocrat !!!
