Our Background

With a deep love for cats and a professional background in law, I transitioned from being a lawyer to pursuing my childhood dream of working with animals. I have completed various courses in felinology and continue to expand my knowledge through continuous education in the field. Our journey in breeding Oriental Shorthair and Siamese cats began in 2010, and we are proud to be registered with the International Cat Association (TICA). Every cat and kitten in our cattery holds a TICA registration.

Our Cattery

Located in Ashland, Ohio, our cattery is truly a part of our home. There are no special facilities or separate buildings; our cats live with us as family members. This home environment ensures that our kittens are well-socialized and accustomed to family life. We carefully trim their nails weekly, and all our kittens are litter-trained.

Our Practices

For safety reasons, we do not allow visitors, except for those picking up their kittens. We understand concerns about scams, but our priority is the safety of our three children. Communication via email is the best way to contact us, ensuring clarity and keeping all details on hand.

Our kittens are often reserved within the first three weeks of their lives. We protect our customers financially through PayPal transactions and signed contracts. Our goal is to provide you with a healthy, beautiful, socialized, and high-quality kitten with a temperament suited to modern family life. For detailed information on pricing and the purchasing process, please visit our Pricing & Purchase Information page.

Health and Care

We do not sell kittens with breeding rights; all kittens leave us spayed or neutered, with this expense included in the price. Our breeding cats are imported from Europe or born in our cattery, featuring a unique European body structure and big wide ears. All our cats are tested for PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), FIV/FeLV (Feline leukemia and immunodeficiency), and are parasite-free. We feed them premium quality food and ensure they receive vaccinations from licensed veterinarians. Each kitten visits the veterinarian at least three times before leaving us.

When they leave our cattery, all Oriental and Siamese kittens come with TICA registration, a microchip, fecal test results, FIV/FeLV test results, a rabies certificate, and a health guarantee. Because we rest our females between pregnancies, we do not produce many kittens each year. Occasionally, we offer retired cats for adoption, requiring a home without other pets or small children.

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 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!

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
