Notice to Prospective Owners

Kittens are not offered to all who apply, we care very much that they have permanent, loving and safe homes to go to where they will be thoroughly spoiled and unconditionally loved.  We choose to breed Persians because out of all the many beautiful feline breeds there are, we love them the best. In each litter we are looking for potential show prospects, but understandably not all kittens necessarily meet the strict showing criteria or are suitable for our breeding programme.  This means that we sometimes have pet kittens available for loving laps in devoted, permanent homes.     

Kittens are only considered "reserved" upon receipt of a non-refundable deposit of £150 on pet kittens, 25% of the purchase price for show or breeding kittens, and all are sold under a contract of care. Deposits are considered as a serious commitment to a kitten and payment for boarding, grooming and lost opportunities for placement if a buyer changes their mind.  However, I reserve the right to refuse to sell without explanation at any time if I feel it to be in the best interests of the kitten and, in that case, any deposit which has been paid, would, of course, be refunded. Pet kittens have to be neutered at six months of age.  and the certificates supplied have to be returned to the breeder at this time as veterinary confirmation of this.

All our kittens go to their new homes complete with our comprehensive Demelza Kitten Care Booklet which gives advice on feeding, grooming, safety and general care;  fully and reliably litter trained, an accurate and full pedigree;  vaccination certificate, Royal Canin kitten booklet and free bag voucher and a toy or two.  They are fully examined by our knowledgeable vet and vaccinated twice against  flu and entiritis, as well as wormed and treated with Stronghold to guard against contracting fleas which means they are always at least 13 weeks of age when they leave us, as the GCCF advises. They are also insured for the first four weeks in their new homes using Pet Plan, when they are at their most vulnerable. Although not a condition of sale, we strongly recommend you continue with the kittens insurance once the free period expires. New kitten owners are expected to sign a contract whereby should the kitten be unable to stay in his or her new home, he will be returned to the breeder, and promising to lovingly care him or her for and neuter the kitten at the appropriate time of six months.   This contract includes a clause whereby the kitten will ONLY be allowed outside into a totally cat secure garden if supervised at all times.

We are always at the end of the telephone or e-mail for help and advice if necessary, or just to hear news of our babies throughout their lives, and we love to receive photographs, of course.  Seeing pictures of our kittens growing up, and then as adults, can really helps us to plan our future breeding programmes.
