At Precious British Purrs, we ensure each kitten is carefully monitored throughout their development and will only go to their new home when they are fully ready, typically between 12-14 weeks of age. The exact timing depends on their health and maturity, and we always make this decision with the kitten's best interest in mind. 

​

Every Precious British Purrs kitten comes with:

• Registered Pedigree Papers with ANCATS

• 1st kitten vaccination

• Neutered or spayed (non negotiable) 

• Microchipped

• Vet checked

• Dewormed

• Litter trained 

• Socialised

• 4 weeks of complimentary pet insurance 

• A personalised welcome pack from us.

​

Our kittens, in addition to spending crucial time with their mother and siblings, are exposed to a variety of sounds, environments, and daily household activities. This early socialisation ensures they grow into confident, well-adjusted cats, ready to thrive in their new homes. We take great care to provide each kitten with the best possible start in life, so they carry their happy and outgoing personalities with them for a lifetime.

RESERVING A KITTEN

Expressions of Interest

​

At Precious British Purrs, we take expressions of interest for kittens during the current breeding season only. Once the breeding season has ended, expressions of interest will pause and reopen at the start of the next breeding season. To increase your chances of being matched with a kitten, we ask that you list a minimum of three different colours. We understand that some people may have a preference for only one colour, but listing just one colour significantly limits your chances of being matched with a kitten. This is because it’s unpredictable when certain colours will be born, and some may not appear again for several seasons due to genetics. While we can make educated guesses about potential colours in a litter, we cannot guarantee specific colours.

​

Please understand that if other families have listed the same colour before you, they will be prioritised in line, and we are committed to respecting their preferences. If you are interested in a kitten during the breeding season, please contact us via the 'Contact' tab to express your interest.

​

Limited Paid Waiting List

For those who want more certainty, we offer a limited paid waiting list. This list is for families committed to welcoming a Precious British Purrs kitten. The waiting list carries over into the next breeding season if your preferences are not available during the current season.

​

To join this list, a non-refundable deposit of $200 is required, which will be deducted from the purchase price of your kitten. People on the paid waiting list will have first priority when kittens are available, ahead of those who have simply expressed interest during the current breeding season. This ensures that families who are ready to welcome a kitten immediately are given priority. We believe that staying on the paid waiting list only makes sense if you are ready and prepared to bring a kitten into your home when they are born and ready.

​​

Available Kittens

We also encourage you to check the Available Kittens tab on our website to see which kittens are currently available for reservation. Once you see a kitten you are interested in, please contact us through the 'Contact' section of our website. When kittens are born, we first go through the paid waiting list, followed by those who have expressed interest for the season.

Once a kitten is matched, we will keep you updated on their progress.

​​

Final Steps and Important Information

We kindly ask that all payments for your kitten be completed 7 days before pick-up or any travel arrangements. To make this process convenient for you, we offer a variety of payment methods, including EFTPOS, which are securely processed via our Square terminal.

​

Once a kitten is matched, we will keep you updated on their progress. When the kitten is around 3-4 weeks old and has passed the critical early stages, we will take a $500 non-refundable deposit to reserve the kitten. This deposit will be applied to the final cost of the kitten. If you are coming from our paid waiting list, only an additional $300 is required, as the $200 deposit you paid to join the waiting list is already applied to the total cost of the kitten. Please note that we do not take deposits on unborn kittens.

​

Our kittens leave neutered or spayed, and this is non-negotiable. If you're looking for a furry companion, this won’t be an issue. We have a fantastic vet who has neutered all of our kittens before they leave for their forever homes. Neutering at a young age is perfectly safe, and each kitten is thoroughly health-assessed by our vet before the procedure. Neutering has no effect on a kitten's growth, as growth is determined by genetics. Please do not ask if a kitten can leave our care unneutered, as our answer will always be no.

​

On rare occasions, we do sell a kitten to a registered breeder who follows the same values and ethics as we do. More information for breeders will be provided upon request.

​

When picking up your new kitten, please remember to bring a suitable cat carrier. The safety and well-being of your kitten during transportation is our top priority, and we will not release a kitten without a proper carrier.

​

To help you stay connected to your kitten as they grow, we will send you weekly photos until they are ready to join your family. We are always available for ongoing support and advice, and we love receiving updates and photos of your kitten as they thrive in their new home!

PREPARING FOR YOUR NEW KITTEN

​

Once you've reserved your new furry family member, you'll have approximately 10 weeks to prepare for their arrival. This gives you plenty of time get your home ready and ensure everything is in place to welcome your new kitten. 

 

To make the transition as smooth as possible for both you and your kitten, it’s essential to have everything prepared ahead of their scheduled pickup or flight. If your kitten is flying to you, please plan ahead and arrive at the designated pickup location well before the scheduled arrival time. Be sure to have all necessary paperwork and proper identification with you for a smooth transfer of ownership.

​

As you get ready for your kitten's arrival, we recommend gathering all the necessary supplies. Below is a checklist to help you prepare and ensure you’re fully equipped to welcome your new family member.

​ 

• Bedding - Provide a safe and comfortable sleeping area for your kitten, with multiple beds available for them to choose from. 

• Food + Water Bowls - Have two separate bowls for feeding, one for wet food and one for dry food, as well as two water bowls placed in different areas of your home for easy access.

• Quality Kitten Food - We recommend feeding your new family member high quality cat food such as Taste of the Wild and Zealandia or Royal Canin. Your kitten will have been fed Taste of the Wild dry food and Zealandia/Royal Canin wet food and high quality human grade raw mince before coming to their new home. 

• Litter Tray - While your kitten may be small now, they'll grow into an adult cat, so its best to choose a litter tray that will accommodate their adult size. 

•  Litter - Your kitten is accustomed to using a variety of litters, including paper pellets, tofu, crystal, and clumping clay. Feel free to continue with whichever type suits your home. We high recommend using tofu litter.   

• Carrier - Purchase a solid, sturdy carrier that will accommodate your kitten as they grow. 

• Grooming Equipment - Obtain a brush, comb and nail clippers designed specifically for cats. Regular grooming will help keep your kitten's coat shiny and healthy

• Scratch posts + Cat Trees - Provide multiple scratching posts and cat trees around the house. This will satisfy their natural scratching instincts and protect your furniture. 

• Toys - Select interactive toys that encourage your kitten to stalk, pounce and chase. These toys area great way to bond with your new furry family member. 

 

Overall, it's essential to ensure you're well prepared with all the necessary items before bringing your new kitten home.

​

Choosing a name for your new family member is also an exciting part of the journey. While they will already have a registered name for their pedigree papers, don’t feel limited by it. You have the freedom to give them a name of your choosing. Take your time and have fun! Consider names that reflect their personality, physical traits, or even something meaningful to you. The name you choose will become a part of their identity, and you’ll be saying it for many years to come.
