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 During this time, we do not publish photos of the kittens on the website but begin notifying people on the waiting list by emailing them photos and information about the kittens.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

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.
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.
We are so lucky to have found Olga and Cat Aristocrat! We live in Ohio also, and we were able to go visit the kittens. It is very obvious that Olga and her family really love what they do. All of their cats were very well cared for and extremely well socialized. We could not be happier with our two new bengal kittens. We love them very much already! Thank you so much Olga :-)
