Pricing & Purchase Info
For those interested in learning more about our cattery, its offerings and terms of adoption.
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 During this time, we do not publish photos of the kittens on the website but begin notifying people on the waiting list by emailing them photos and information about the kittens.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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Olga has the most incredible Cattery! My sweet Lily has the most beautiful personality and disposition, I couldn't believe how perfectly acclimated she was from the start. The process was incredible, I thought I would be reaching out more but I didn't even need to because she sets you up with your own page which has all her appointments scheduled dates, and how she did after her visit. Frequent photos to watch her grow. Direct and clear pickup and shipping instructions and an entire packet sent home with her. I received a list of her favorite toys, current food, and litter which made her arrival home seamless like she was right at home and you can instantly tell how well-socialized her kittens are.
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!
