I'm SmudgeOriental shorthair female kitten

I don’t normally write reviews, but this experience absolutely deserves one. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cataristocrat Cattery and Olga. I just brought home my second Oriental Shorthair, Olympia, and from start to finish, Olga made the entire process seamless and reassuring. I was able to find my first Oriental Shorthair locally, but this time I couldn’t find one close to home. I was initially nervous about getting a kitten from out of state, especially after reading about scams in the purebred pet world. I found Olga while searching for registered Oriental Shorthair breeders through TICA (The International Cat Association), and from our very first interaction, I felt completely at ease. Olga was professional, transparent, and incredibly helpful from the beginning. Every step of the process was streamlined and organized, from contracts to payments, and she was always quick to respond to my emails. Not only did she answer every question thoroughly, but she often included helpful articles and thoughtful advice along the way. I was able to FaceTime with her several times to meet Olympia and ask questions, and it was immediately clear how deeply she cares about her cats. Olga provided consistent updates as Olympia grew, including information about her spay, veterinary visits, and vaccinations. She even included 6 week and 12 week photo sessions! The pictures were absolutely adorable and such a thoughtful touch. Many updates were integrated through her website, which is beautifully organized and full of helpful information. I encountered many breeders who primarily operate through social media, but Olga’s professional, easy-to-navigate website really stood out and gave me additional confidence throughout the process. On pickup day, we had to work around some bad weather, and Olga was incredibly patient and understanding when our pickup plans had to shift to much later in the evening than planned. Olga truly sets you up for success when bringing your kitten home. A couple of weeks before Olympia’s arrival, she sent a comprehensive supply list so I could be fully prepared. She also sent Olympia home with generous starter supplies including wet and dry food, litter, a blanket, toys, a carrier, and a well-organized binder containing all of Olympia’s health records and documentation. She even included a small amount of used litter to help Olympia transition smoothly to her new litter box (a small but incredibly thoughtful detail). When Olympia arrived, it was obvious she had been lovingly raised. She was healthy, well-groomed, confident, and affectionate from the moment she stepped out of her carrier. She immediately began exploring my apartment and adjusted beautifully to her new home. She was fully litter trained and transitioned without any issues. I am beyond happy to have Olympia as part of my family, and I am so grateful to have found Olga and Cataristocrat Cattery. Olga's professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and genuine care for her cats are unmatched. I would absolutely work with her again and would not hesitate to recommend Cataristocrat Cattery to anyone looking for an Oriental Shorthair.

We are very lucky to live close Cataristocrat. We were able to visit and fell in love with an Oriental and a Bengal kitten. We picked up the Oriental yesterday and will get the Bengal when she is ready. The love they have put in with these kittens shows and we could not be happier with our choice. Thank you for putting so much passion in what you do the quality stands out.

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
