Pricing & Purchase Info
For those interested in learning more about our cattery, its offerings and terms of adoption.
At Cataristocrat, we have chosen a more ethical and transparent approach to placing our kittens by moving away from individual pricing and introducing a fixed adoption fee of $4000. This fee isn’t a “price tag” based on color or pedigree—it reflects the real cost of responsible breeding and the equal level of care every kitten receives, including premium nutrition, veterinary support, testing, registration, and the time and dedication required to raise healthy, confident companions. Most importantly, our focus remains on matching each kitten with the right family, not the highest bidder.
Read more about our adoption fee philosophy.
Please note that the fee doesn't include shipping costs, which depend on the airline and generally cost around $700 within the U.S. if we are talking about cargo shipping. The shipping cost includes a travel crate, a veterinarian's health travel certificate (CVI), and obtaining additional required veterinary paperwork, such as breed verification and an acclimation letter signed by a licensed veterinarian. Please note that I am a breeder, not a shipping agent. I can assist with this, but I am not obliged to provide this service. Please read my article about transportation options.

We do not take deposits for unborn kittens. We have a waiting list where people sign up by filling out the form in the "Contacts" section on our website. When the kittens are born, I wait until they open their eyes and look photogenic before taking the first photos. During this time, we do not publish photos of the kittens on the website but begin notifying people on the waiting list by emailing them photos and information about the kittens.
Those who wish to adopt a kitten respond to this email and confirm their intention. We ask them to fill out a questionnaire, and kittens can only be purchased by those who are approved. To reserve a kitten, a deposit of $500 is required. Payment is made via PayPal only after you have read the contract terms on our website and confirmed your agreement with them. Once I receive the deposit, I send the contract for signing.
After everyone on the waiting list has been notified, all kittens (both reserved and available) are posted on the website with corresponding markers indicating their status.

Each kitten's page has an events calendar so that all buyers are aware of the procedures. Our kittens visit the veterinarian four times before they are ready to move to their new homes. Kittens receive three rounds of FVRCP vaccinations, a rabies vaccination, are tested for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus, undergo a fecal parasite check, are neutered/spayed, and microchipped.
We update kitten photos on our website every three to four weeks, and those who have reserved a kitten receive notifications about these updates. We also inform everyone about all appointments and visits to the vet. I also strive to frequently post photos and videos of the kittens on our Instagram, and these are reposted on the cattery’s Facebook page. Additionally, closer to the pickup date, I send a detailed email about what food the kitten eats and what litter it uses.
Cataristocrat Cattery is a USDA licensed LLC, and we pay taxes.

Olga and the Cataristocrat are the best. I found them through a nicely done website and appreciated Olga's responsive and informative communication throughout the process. I was worried about the cat being flown across the country but Ruby fared well in her big trip. She is home now and filling this place with fun, love, and joy. A delightful kitten who had a great start in life. Thank you so much, 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!
When I discovered the CatAristocrat website, I knew I had to make contact immediately.
The site contains valuable information in regards to Olga’s Cattery. What drew me in was Olga’s commitment and passion to her cattery.
After contacting Olga, we FaceTimed and that’s when I got to see Jiji (now Zoey) for the first time. Her striking beauty and personality shined through, and I knew that she was the kitten I wanted.
Since I live in Southern California, I flew to Ohio to retrieve Zoey. Olga met me at the airport and the process was super easy.
Olga is a true professional. She handed me all of Zoeys paperwork, provided a cute carrier with a cozy blanket and Zoeys favorite unicorn toy. There was also some food, a water bowl and snacks for Zoey. You can tell Zoey was raised in such a loving and safe environment.
As soon as Zoey came home, she was comfortable with us.
Zoey is smart, curious and affectionate. Zoey has provided us with so much laughter and joy. I couldn’t be happier with our tabby kitty. She is the queen of the house now!
Thank you so much Olga. I hope that in the near future we can provide Zoey with a sibling!
