FAQ's

Why are purebred cats so expensive?
The answer is straightforward: breeding cats is a costly endeavor.

While some may perceive breeding cats as lucrative due to the high price of kittens, the reality is more nuanced. The price of a purebred kitten encompasses various factors, including the investment of effort in the breeding process. Additionally, the cost covers a one-year warranty against genetic diseases. Each purebred kitten possesses unique traits and a distinctive appearance, contributing to its value.

How can I reserve a kitten?
Dear Customer, before reserving a kitten and submitting a deposit or payment, kindly notify our team of your intention to ensure the availability of the desired kitten. If the kitten is available for reservation, you can proceed to our website to reserve the kitten securely through the Stripe system. If the kitten is unavailable, your fee/payment will be refunded automatically or transferred to another kitten of your preference upon request.

How can I pay the balance?

If we organize the delivery for you, an invoice will be sent for the rest amount via email. You can pay online by credit card. The payment has to be completed no later than 2 days before the delivery date.

If you come to pick up the pet yourself, you pay the rest on the spot on the pickup date.

Why the date of arrival is approximate?

We note the approximate arrival date, as Each kitten goes through a series of preparations before being ready to go home with their new family. This is a standard process such as vaccination and post-vaccination quarantine. All these reasons affect the date of the delivery. As soon as the kitten is ready to travel, it will typically ship upon completion of purchase. The final decision on the date of delivery of the kitten will be made by the seller with the recommendation of a veterinarian. Delivery is carried out through third parties (freight brokers, state veterinarians, and airlines).

Sometimes there may be a delay for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, weather conditions, logistics, mechanical failures of ground or air transport, or other unforeseen events. The seller is not liable, directly or indirectly, for any delays, including, without any restrictions, those that may cause the Buyer inconvenience or any financial loss or a reason to cancel the purchase of the kitten. If the kitten is not going home with someone local or not picking up the cat.

I want to see a kitten first and then pay the deposit.

Unfortunately, we don’t keep all kittens at our place in Illinois. We bring them here only after reservation. Before we bring the kittens to Illinois, they have to get 2 PCH and rabies vaccines and be at least 16 weeks old. You can request more information about each kitten, their photos and videos, photos of their parents, and even information about their identity. For this contact us via email on the website or send an email request to info@thecattycombs.com

How does pet cargo shipping work?

Pet cargo shipping costs $550 regardless of the location. The kitten flies alone in a carrier box. All types of cats can be shipped EXCEPT Exotic Shorthair, Persian, and Burmese.

We book the flight for your kitten one week before the delivery and send you flight details via email.

To pick up your kitten, you have to go to the cargo facility at your airport, show your ID and provide the AWB number.

What does “shipping with a nanny” mean?

It means that we are flying with the kitten in a cabin. You have to come to the airport and pick up your kitten after the flight has arrived.

It costs between $900-$1400. The price depends on the destination.

I was trying to pay online but my payment doesn’t go through. What can I do?

In most cases, this happens when there is a limit on your debit or credit card. To solve this issue, you should contact your bank to allow this online payment.

Are you breeders?

Yes, we are. We are based in Spokane Washington and will be expanding more and more as we grow.

I dont want to neuter/spay my kitten, what should i do?

There are two options:
1. You have to but the breeding rights from the breeder. The rights are usually around 1000$. (Need to clarify with the breeder). It allows you to breed a kitten for selling or just for yourself.
2.The second option you will neuter/spay a kitten by yourself later and send us documents of a successful operation. Also, we strongly recommend neutering /spaying a kitten at an early age, as it positively affects its health. Prolongs it’s life and prevents many diseases also like cancer. We invite you to familiarize yourself with some information concerning neutering/spayin on our page FAQ and hope you will find it useful and helpful.

I want to transfer my deposit for another kitten.

Unfortunately, deposits are not transferable for other kittens, except the one you have chosen. The reason is that upon request, a deposit is paid to the breeder in order to keep the kitten for you. Arrangements and exceptions can be made ONLY if both the originally chosen kitten and the newly desired one are at the same breeder, AND if the kitten is still not spayed, and the purebred certificate has not been issued under your name.

I want my kitten pedigree, how i can receive it?

Different kitties are coming from different clubs (WCF/CFA/FIFE/TICA), so it does take a little time to have them shipped to us and we can get them promptly to you. Some our breeders takes additional fee for pedigree papers ( 50-100$). That`s why most of our breeders provided birth certificate from the cattery, and will make pedigree paper upon your request.
Please note* The kitten is being sold as a companion animal and not for commercial breeding purposes unless you purchased a kitten pedigree. Seller reserves the right to withhold the kitten’s pedigree until the buyer presents a vet’s letter stating that the kitten underwent spay/neuter surgery.

What type of payment do you accept?

We accept deposits via Stripe. The rest of the payment should be made via our website, cash, Venmo, or Zelle upon picking up the kitten.

What kind of cat litter can we use for our kittens?

We recommend you to use organic types of cat litter such as pinewood (Okocat) or paper pallets. One of the main reasons for this is that if your kitty eats a piece, it will just dissolve in the stomach and cause no harm.

What kind of food do we use for our kittens?

Different breeders feed their cat’s different types of brand food.

We try to find the best and universal types of food but still offer plenty of variety because every kitten prefers something special.

Royal Canin: Mother and Baby Cat are is of the favorite delicacies. Buffalo Blue for kittens is good as well.

As a treat, we give them Applaws: chicken filet or tuna fish.

For cats with indigestion, we recommend keeping a raw food diet (beef, pork, or turkey)

In terms of dry food, it is preferable to use grain-free food for kittens such as Orijen, Acana, or Ziwi.

Another good tip is to mix canned food with rice, oatmeal, or other porridge. Our team will provide you with more detailed information personally.
