Russeller's Cattery
Photos of Available
Kittens! Sold Kittens!
We usually have kittens for sale
throughout the year and sell to indoor homes only and expect our pet quality
kittens to be altered. They are being sold to be companions; we do not sell kittens
for breeding. Our kittens are handled frequently while they are young, and
exposed to everyday sounds of the house, plus dogs, and children. We want our
kittens to be a part of your family as they are a part of our family.
American shorthairs are very
friendly and affectionate, but they are not serious lap kitties. They want to
be near you, but not in your lap all the time.
We produce kittens of various
colors. We do have the classic silver tabbies, brown tabbies, black smokes,
cameos and various other colors on occasion.
Kitten Prices:
Pricing for our kittens range from $500.00 to $2500.00 depending
on the quality and color. This does not include: shipping, rabies, kennels, and
any other expenses incurred related to shipping or delivery.
Deciding on a
Kitten:
Once our kittens have had their
first shots (around six weeks) we invite prospective parents in the order that
we receive their reservation out to visit our kittens. To make a reservation we
require a $100.00 check, or credit card, which we hold until the prospective
parents decide if they like the offered kitten(s) or not. If they like the
kitten, then the deposit is banked and arrangements are made for the kitten to
be picked up at about 12 to 13 weeks and has had its final kitten shots. If the
prospective parent does not like what is offered, then their check is returned
or can be kept for a later litter, whichever they decide. Once a parent has
chosen a specific kitten the deposit holds the kitten until the kitten is old
enough to travel. After the deposit is made and a kitten has been selected the
deposit is non-refundable.
We reserve kittens on a first come
first serve basis. Clients choose their kittens in the order that the deposits
are made.
You may either come to the house, or
if the kitten is being shipped we will send pictures of available kittens for
you to choose from. We also have photos of the kittens on our website.
Shipping
Kittens:
We do ship kittens. When a
reservation is made for a kitten that must be shipped, photos are taken of the
available kitten(s) in the same order as if they were a local parent. We charge
for the airline flight (rates vary), kitten carrier (15.00), and vet health
certificate (30.00). If you choose to return the kitten carrier the price of the
carrier will be refunded; you may keep the carrier if you would like. Current
shipping prices within the United States are running 173.00 for Delta Airlines.
New Homes:
To make the kittens transition to its new home smoother, we supply
7 to 10 days of the food that it is eating; toys, a homesick towel, a sample of
used litter to be placed on top of the litter in their new litter box, written
instructions, several handouts including our vets card, should the new vet wish
to contact.
