Closed Cattery Policy

Please be advised that we operate as a closed cattery, meaning our home is not open to the public for in-person visits.

Our cattery is not a commercial storefront but a family-run environment where our cats and kittens are raised inside our home. They are an integral part of our daily lives, interacting closely with our family, including our children and household pets. Maintaining this environment is essential to their well-being, social development, and overall health.

Allowing public access to our home would introduce several significant concerns:

Family Safety & Privacy: As a private residence, permitting frequent visits from unfamiliar individuals would compromise the safety, security, and privacy of our family.

Animal Health & Biosecurity: Many contagious conditions, including viruses, parasites, and fungal infections such as ringworm, can be transmitted through clothing, skin contact, and footwear. Restricting access helps protect our cats and kittens from preventable exposure.

Stress on Breeding Cats and Kittens: Frequent handling and the presence of unfamiliar people can cause unnecessary stress, particularly for nursing queens and young kittens, which can negatively impact their health and development.

Controlled Environment: Limiting outside traffic allows us to maintain a clean, stable, and low-stress environment that supports responsible breeding practices and optimal animal care.

For those seriously interested in reserving a kitten, we are committed to transparency and communication. We are happy to provide:

The health, safety, and well-being of our cats—and our family—will always remain our top priority. For these reasons, our cattery will remain closed to the public.

Thank you for your understanding.
