Preparing for life together
The adoption process
Clear steps, thoughtful matching and a relationship that continues after your kitten comes home.
Apply and receive approval
Submit an application before reserving a kitten. After approval, we discuss an appropriate match from the kittens available.
Reserve from week four
Reservations begin at four weeks of age. The reservation payment is $1,000 and is nonrefundable and nontransferable.
Prepare for adoption
Your remaining balance is due 10 days before adoption. Accepted payment methods are Zelle, Venmo and PayPal.
Welcome your kitten home
Kittens usually depart around 12 to 14 weeks, once they can safely be spayed or neutered and are ready for the transition. Every kitten leaves altered.
Individual pricing
Each kitten is priced individually according to color, genetics and line. Contact us about a particular kitten for their price.
A 15% discount for two littermates applies only when both kittens remain unreserved after week 10.
What comes with your kitten
Health records, two FVRCP vaccinations, FIV and FeLV testing, deworming and internal parasite care, a microchip with lifetime registration, a go-home bag, a three-year health guarantee and ongoing support.
Preparing for your kitten
- Review the adoption process and contract, and ask questions before committing.
- Plan pickup or transport with us around your kitten’s readiness.
- Pay the remaining balance 10 days before adoption.
- Discuss the transition home and the documentation you will receive.
Three-year health guarantee
Your kitten’s adoption includes a three-year health guarantee. Review the adoption contract for the full terms and ask us any questions before signing.
Health records and screening documentation are provided at pickup. Ongoing support continues after adoption day.
Questions before you apply
How does pickup work?
Pickup at RDU or an agreed Triangle location is free. We can provide transporter referrals. We do not personally ship kittens.
Can kittens join families internationally?
We serve international families. Requirements vary by destination, so arrangements must be discussed individually.
Do you keep a formal waitlist?
We do not always operate a formal waitlist. Contact us to discuss current options and timing.
When will my kitten be ready?
Departure depends on safe spay or neuter timing and readiness, usually around 12 to 14 weeks. We discuss your kitten's timing with you.
