Sales Terms

Categories

  • Pet Quality Kittens (Pet cats): All our kittens sold as pets.
  • Breed Quality Kittens: These kittens have a fabulous pedigree and a high potential to reproduce excellent show quality offspring. With proper grooming they could be exhibited at any sanctioned cat show.
  • Show Quality Kittens: Our show kittens have a fabulous pedigree and a high potential to reproduce excellent top show quality Persians. With proper grooming, our show kittens could be exhibited at any sanctioned cat show with the possibility of becoming a Grand Champion or even better. However, we cannot guarantee that these qualifications are achievable, even though we sell these kittens with this potential.
  • “Retired” cats but in excellent health, often offered at very competitive prices.

Payment.

A minimum of 50% (of the kitten price) reservation deposit is always required. The deposit, and any subsequent payments, are taken in good faith and the buyer should be aware that these payments are NON-REFUNDABLE. Therefore, if the buyer changes his mind, and no longer wishes to purchase the cat or kitten these funds will be not returned.
The balance due (including any delivery costs – see delivery) is due and payable at the agreed-upon time.

We recommend booking early, as all categories usually sell out quickly. We reserve the right to sell -or decline to sell- any cat or kitten.
The basic principle for all kitten sales (reserved & unreserved, unborn, available kittens, etc.) is “first come, first served”.

The buyer must pay the kitten delivery costs (If the breeder has to provide shipping services) as soon as these costs are available from the breeder. Delays in payment might lead to increases in these delivery costs.
The buyer must pick up the kitten at the agreed-upon delivery date if the buyer will pick up the kitten.
Kittens that have to stay at the cattery beyond the agreed-upon delivery date, due to lack of payments (balance due on the kittens and/or delivery costs) or delays in pickup will incur pension fees for their maintenance at USD  ten (10) per day.

The accumulated pension fees have to be paid together with the monies due for the kitten and delivery costs before the kitten will be picked up or shipped.
If the buyer delays the balance due payment (kitten, delivery, and pension costs) beyond six (6) months, the buyer will forfeit his rights on the Kitten, and the cattery will be free to offer the kitten to third parties or to keep the kitten altogether.

Accepted payment methods:

Wire transfer to our US-based Bank (The wire transfer data can be obtained by contacting us).

Advance reservations. Why Reserve a Kitten in advance?

Prospective buyers have to be aware that a significant portion of the kittens in our litters are already reserved before being born. These are usually the highest quality kittens (I.e., show /breed).

We have a loyal following of breeders and owners around the world who just want the best specimens.  This is why we offer the possibility of viewing the coming litters lineage, so the buyer can make a pre-born reservation if he wishes to.

 It would greatly enhance the possibility of having a top Show Quality kitten.

Anyway from time to time, there are also unreserved show quality new-borns available. However, they might not be exactly what the breeder/owner is looking for, as the ones with pre-reservation have the possibility to pick & choose first.

Delivery :

Our Kittens do not leave our home until they are ready, which is usually between 12 and 20 weeks of age. The actual “ready-age” varies individually from kitten to kitten.

In Venezuela:

Kittens can be picked up personally previous appointment at our Home in Caracas, Venezuela. Please be sure to bring a cat carrier for safe transport of the kitten. No kitten will leave our home unless a carrier is provided.

International:

International shipping has been severely disrupted by the Covid 19.  Therefore, the shipping viability and associated cost has to be assessed on a case by case basis.  

For international shipments, we can offer the purchaser an adequate cat carrier, priced separately. 

Currently, there are two shipping methods:

  • Via the Air Pet Transportation Service offered by some airlines. For delivery in the Americas, Copa Airlines offers the service to most Capitals and to major US Cities.
  • A person hand-carries the kitten into the aircraft cabin – up to a major International Airport and (eventually) to the ultimate in-country destination airport.

Air Pet transportation is safe, reliable, and usually cheaper.
