At our cattery, we strive to provide quality pets for families who will treasure them as much as we do. To ensure that our kittens go to the best possible homes, we ask that potential buyers provide some background information when making an inquiry. We only sell to approved homes.

Two Oriental Shorthair kittens, one black and the other a ticked tabby, from the Cataristocrat cattery.

Pet prices at our cattery range from $3000 to $5000, depending on the type, color, and complexity of the pattern. Payment can be made through PayPal (debit or credit cards are accepted), cash, or wire transfer. For those interested in purchasing two pets, we may offer a discount.

Please note that prices do not 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 During this time, we do not publish photos of the kittens on the website but begin notifying people on the waiting list by emailing them photos and information about the kittens.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.

If you are new to this breed, I recommend checking out my article: Siamese vs. Oriental Shorthair Cats: Facts, Differences, and Similarities.

Our Kittens come with:

FIV/FeLV Test Result.

Fecal Test Resut.

FVRCP Vaccination (at least two rounds).

Rabies Vaccination.

Veterinarian Records

Microchip (prepaid registration).

TICA Registration Papers.

In addition, you will receive a contract, a 1-year guarantee for congenital defects, a 72-hour guarantee for viral diseases and samples of food that the kitten is used to, and our recommendations for kitten care. These items are provided to help make the transition to a new home as smooth as possible. The kitten will also be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, litter trained, and have its nails clipped before going to its new home.

Worth. Every. Penny. As a veterinarian that has taken care of animals for more than 20 years, I could not be more impressed (and in love) with the Oriental Shorthair I got from Cataristocat. The first night, he snuggled and purred in the crook of my neck. He is so smart, engaging and a love bug!!! I will get all my future babies here!!!!!

I recently got a beautiful Oriental Shorthair kitten from this Cattery and the entire experience has been top notch. Olga has been very communicative, helpful and very responsive. I loved that she posts photos and other updates about each kitten ongoing. She also made sure I was a good fit for the breed and provided lots of useful information. And the kitten is amazing! At only 14 weeks old she is fully litter box trained, she’s smart, confident, healthy and very sweet.

I'd give 10 stars if I could! From the first correspondence with Olga, I knew this whole thing would be wonderful. Olga is knowledgeable, responsive, you can tell she really loves running her cattery too. We just brought Nico home and the entire experience from start to finish was SO professional, SO smooth and so easy. Olga runs her business so well. I love how organized everything is, the updates on kittens down to the pick up and paperwork and supplies provided. I'm excited to be part of the family now! We are in love already and I am so happy that I found this cattery and Olga.
