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 During this time, we do not publish photos of the kittens on the website but begin notifying people on the waiting list by emailing them photos and information about the kittens.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

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
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 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!
