Do you have kittens? When will you have kittens?
I publish all the information on the website in the “Kittens” section. If there is nothing there, it means I have nothing to tell you yet. You can subscribe to me on Facebook or Instagram — I publish all the news about the cattery simultaneously on the website, Facebook and Instagram.
How does the adoption process work?
I will publish information on the website, Instagram, and Facebook when the kittens are born and when reservation opens. I typically open reservations when the kittens are 2 months old. Before this time, I create a page for each kitten and post their photos and videos there. You can choose which kitten you like the most, and when reservations open, you can contact me from that kitten’s page. I will also ask you to answer a few questions.
Price for kittens
I do not have a fixed price for my kittens. The price depends on several factors. You can find the price by clicking on a kitten’s photo. There, you will also find additional photos, videos, and detailed information about that kitten, including the adoption fee.
Currently, healthy pet kittens are priced between $3,000 and $4,500.
Occasionally, I have kittens with special needs. These may be congenital or acquired conditions. Depending on the nature of the condition, the adoption fee may be significantly reduced—sometimes to a symbolic amount—so that the kitten has the best chance of finding a loving home.
I also occasionally offer retired breeding cats for adoption. Depending on their age, their adoption fee typically ranges from $1,000 to $2,000. Sometimes I retire very young cats if, for one reason or another, they are not the right fit for my breeding program. These cats are often still young and make wonderful companions.
What is included in the price of a kitten?
Each kitten receives a complete three-dose series of PureVax Feline 4 (RCCP) vaccinations — a premium combination vaccine protecting against feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR), calicivirus (FCV), panleukopenia (FPV), and Chlamydia psittaci — all serious and highly contagious diseases.
I also provide preventive treatment for parasites — including deworming, flea and ear mite prevention
I do not perform early spaying or neutering on kittens, as I believe that surgery at a very young age may increase the risk of urinary tract issues and could potentially have a negative impact on the animal’s development and cognitive abilities.
Instead, I cover the cost of a spay/neuter agreement through the SpaySecure service. You will sign a contract directly with SpaySecure, and they will monitor and ensure that the procedure is completed within the required timeframe.
Each kitten also receives a personalized gift bag, made just for them — complete with your kitten’s photo. Inside you’ll find:
- A customized lunchbox filled with a frozen raw meat mix (enough for over a week)
- Toys
- documents
- Microchip with a built-in temperature sensor
- A cat nail clipper
- Sometimes I also include a little something extra — a gift I feel is just right for that particular kitten, something I believe will make them especially happy in their new home.
Most importantly, your kitten will be social, loving, and confident. We begin socialization at just 4 weeks of age. By 8 weeks, they’re exploring the house, sleeping on our bed, curling up in laps, and fully accustomed to human interaction. All of our kittens are naturally athletic and full of energy — our entire home is like a giant fitness playground for cats! We have multiple climbing structures, different types of exercise wheels (most of our kittens love running on them!), and a wide variety of toys to keep them active and stimulated.
They also enjoy time in our outdoor catio, where they can sunbathe, sniff the breeze, feel the wind in their fur, and even experience a light rain — all in a safe and enriching environment.
We raise our kittens on a balanced diet that includes both raw meat and high-quality dry food. I intentionally expose them to a variety of textures and tastes so they grow into flexible eaters — making your life easier when it comes to feeding.
Of course, all kittens are fully litter-trained — you should never have any problems with the litter box.
This is so much more than a kitten — it’s a joyful, well-prepared little life, ready to become part of your family.
How can I know this isn’t a scam website?
Yes, there are indeed many scammers nowadays who may show you very beautiful photos and videos (often stolen from real breeders or even generated using AI). However, their catteries are not listed on reputable international organizations such as CFA and TICA. My cattery is registered there, and you can verify this information. If you’d like, we can arrange a video call for you. You’ll be able to see both the kittens and their parents live. Scammers cannot provide such proof.
If you have a waiting list?
If you would like to welcome a Devon Rex kitten from our cattery into your family, please join our waiting list. The application includes several questions that help me learn more about you and the home you can provide for one of my kittens.
Please note that I do not send emails, reminders, or reservation invitations. You will need to follow the announcements on my website yourself.
Once reservations open, you can simply send me a message from the page of the kitten you are interested in. There is no need to complete the application again—just mention that you have already joined the waiting list.
About Cat Allergy Testing
The Devon Rex is considered a hypoallergenic breed. However, this does not mean that these cats are completely allergy-free. It simply means that many people experience either a lower risk of an allergic reaction or milder symptoms compared to other cat breeds.
At this time, there is no cat breed that is guaranteed to be completely safe for people with allergies.
How can you test your allergy?
I offer two options.
Option 1 — The T-shirt Test (recommended)
You can purchase a plain T-shirt and have it shipped directly to me. I will rub it on my cats and then mail it back to you. You can wear the shirt for an extended period of time—ideally several hours or even longer—to see whether you develop an allergic reaction.
The total cost of this service is approximately $30
Option 2 — Visit the cattery
You may also visit the cattery and test your reaction in person. However, I allow visits only under very limited circumstances.
You must already be approved as a buyer. This means that you have:
- submitted a waiting list application,
- been approved based on all of my selection criteria, and
- are ready to sign the contract and place the deposit immediately if your allergy test is successful.
If you meet these requirements, you are welcome to visit.
For the safety of my kittens, all visitors must arrive wearing completely clean clothing. It does not need to be fashionable, but it must be freshly laundered or brand new.
This rule is extremely important because young kittens are highly vulnerable to infectious diseases and parasites. I take every precaution to avoid accidentally bringing any illness into my cattery.
Although my kittens are vaccinated, they do not develop full immunity until they are approximately 3½ months old, while reservations open when they are only 2 months old. At this age, their immune systems are still developing, so I must minimize every possible risk.
For this reason, I very rarely allow visits. In most cases, the T-shirt Test is much easier, just as effective, and much safer for the kittens.
What’s next?
I will write to you in any case—whether you can get a kitten this time or not. If you receive a letter stating that I have chosen you as the future owner of a kitten, I will ask for your address and phone number to draft the contract. You can see a sample contract by clicking the button below. After signing the contract, you will transfer a non-refundable deposit of $500 via Zelle. We will agree on a convenient time for you to pick up the kitten. You can either come to our home yourself, or we can bring the kitten to the Houston airport. The kitten can only be taken home when it is at least 3.5 months old! If it is more convenient for you to have the kitten delivered to your home, I can arrange for a nanny to bring the kitten to you. However, this will incur additional costs, which depend on the price of the plane tickets and the nanny’s services. I do not neuter or spay the kittens as I believe that their intellectual development stops after this operation. Additionally, veterinarians now say that neutering at 6 months or later reduces the risk of urogenital diseases. When I chip the kitten (this usually happens a few days before moving to a new home), I sign a contract with a company that guarantees you will spay/neuter the kitten in a timely manner. I cover the expenses of this company, but you will need to sign a contract with them before the kitten moves to your home.
How can I pay the remaining amount?
If you are coming to me, you may bring cash, make a transfer (please note that different banks have limits on Zelle transfers), or provide a money order. If the kitten is traveling to you with a nanny, you will need to transfer the full amount two weeks prior to the trip.
I’m sorry, but I do not accept checks.
What do you need to prepare for moving?
1. You will need a carrier. It’s best to buy a quality one right away, as you’ll use it for vet visits and various trips. If you are flying, check if your carrier meets the airline’s regulations. You should also purchase a ticket immediately with a seat for the kitten. It’s cheaper and better to take the kitten in the cabin of the plane.
2. The kitten should have a scratching post (preferably several), a house, a place to climb, and a litter box with filler. It is better to place the scratching post in high-traffic areas because, for them, it’s not only for scratching claws but also a way of marking territory to show who is the boss of the house. And the mark should be visible to everyone. 😊
3. Please make sure to stock up on food. Here is the link to the food. Please find the contact details of a reliable veterinarian near you. Unfortunately, finding a good doctor can be quite challenging, and I wouldn’t recommend going to the first one you come across.
As a bonus, when I give away the kitten, I also provide a bag in which you will find the kitten’s documents (veterinary passport, health certificate, and chip information), along with some toys and food for a week
What if everyone is away from home during the day?
This is a very common concern, but fortunately, cats usually adapt well to a family’s daily routine.
Most cats sleep for a large part of the day. My Devon Rex cats are typically most active in the morning and in the evening. During the middle of the day—and for much of the night—they usually sleep.
There are also several ways to make life much more enjoyable for a kitten while you are away.
1. It is always better if the kitten has company.
The ideal solution is to have another companion. This could be:
- another kitten,
- a friendly cat,
- a cat-friendly dog,
- or another pet that the kitten can safely interact with.
Companionship helps prevent boredom and gives the kitten someone to play with and socialize with while the family is away.
2. Create an enriching environment.
Devon Rex cats are extremely intelligent, curious, and energetic. They need opportunities to explore and entertain themselves.
Here are some of the things I use in my own home:
- A cat wheel. Most of my cats absolutely love running in their exercise wheel.
- A bird feeder outside the window. I place a bird feeder outside and apply one-way reflective window film so the birds cannot see the cats, while the cats have their own “television.” They can spend hours happily watching birds come and go.
- Cat trees by the windows. My cats love climbing, watching the outdoors, and relaxing in the sunshine.
- A catio. I built a secure outdoor enclosure connected to a window. A catio allows cats to enjoy fresh air, sunshine, new smells, and the breeze while remaining completely safe. They cannot escape, and other animals cannot reach them.
- Interactive toys. We have many different toys throughout the house. One of my cats' favorites is a toy suspended from the ceiling with an elastic cord. They love jumping, catching it, and trying to carry it away.
