Our Kitten Purchase Agreement -What to Expect
Reservation & Holding Fee
- —A $750 non-refundable holding fee reserves your chosen kitten.
- —This fee removes the kitten from availability and reflects our commitment to you.
- —The holding fee applies toward the final purchase price if payment and pickup timelines are met.
- —Ownership transfers only after full payment and delivery.
Deposit Transfer Policy
Before Six Weeks of Age
Your holding fee transfers in full toward another available kitten.
After Six Weeks
Transfers may still be possible (at our discretion), with clear guidelines that fairly allocate any price difference.
We aim to be flexible while also honoring the time, care, and planning invested in each kitten.
Payment & Pickup
- —Balance is due by 10 weeks of age.
- —Pickup is expected by 12 weeks of age unless otherwise arranged.
If a family needs a little extra time, we're happy to offer short-term boarding for up to two weeks when requested in advance. A modest daily boarding fee applies to help cover care during the extended stay.
Open communication is always appreciated — we understand that life happens, and we aim to work together whenever possible.Health Comes First
The health and development of every Ethereal kitten is our top priority.
- —Each kitten is guaranteed to be in good health at the time of sale.
- —We provide a one-year warranty against life-threatening hereditary defects.
- —A veterinary check within 72 hours of pickup is required.
- —In the rare event of a qualifying hereditary issue, replacement is the primary remedy; however, at our sole discretion, we may elect to offer a refund instead.
We are transparent, responsible, and act in good faith — always in the kitten's best interest.
Indoor Companion Commitment
Our kittens are raised as cherished indoor companions.
- —They may not roam outdoors unsupervised.
- —They may not be declawed.
- —Should circumstances ever change, we are always available to accept one of our cats back at any time.
We remain committed to every kitten for life.
Pet-Only Policy
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, our kittens are sold as pets.
- —Spay/neuter is required.
- —Breeding rights require prior written agreement.
We carefully preserve the integrity of our lines and our program.
Registration & Documentation
- —CFA registration papers are provided once the purchase price is paid in full.
Respect & Communication
We believe in mutual respect.
If concerns arise, we ask families to communicate directly with us first so we can work toward resolution together.
Adopting a Retiree or Adult Cat?
Extra Considerations for Adults
All of the above policies apply to adult placements as well. The following are the key differences unique to adopting one of our retired adults.
Holding Fee & Trial Period
- —The holding fee for an adult cat is $500 (vs. $750 for kittens), and is non-refundable.
- —The remaining balance may be refunded if the placement isn't the right fit.
- —To qualify, the cat must be with you for at least 15 days, with written notice to us within 62 days of transfer.
- —The cat must be returned in good health, consistent with his or her condition at the time of transfer.
Diet Requirement
This is the most important additional commitment for adult adopters. Our adults are raised on a human-grade, minimally processed diet and this must continue for the life of the cat.
- —Any human-grade, minimally processed brand is acceptable — we encourage rotating 4+ proteins per month.
- —Feed-grade food, most kibble, and most canned foods are not permitted under this agreement.
- —If you encounter any difficulty, please contact us before making changes — we will help guide you or connect you with a certified feline nutritionist.
Our Philosophy
Our agreement is built on responsibility, transparency, and stewardship. Each provision is designed to safeguard the health of our cats, provide clarity for our families, and uphold the standards of our breeding program. We believe that clear expectations create secure, respectful partnerships.
Our commitment does not end at pickup — it is lifelong. We raise each cat with intention, and we place them with the same care.
Every cat. Every family. For life.
