Important information before buying a cat: What you should know
Buying a pedigree cat is a decision for many years.
That is why it is very important to us that every family is well informed and ready to take responsibility.
Here you will find the most important points you should know before buying a kitten from our breeding
Price of a breeding cat
The price of a pedigree cat usually ranges between 1,500 and 2,300 Swiss Francs, but can be significantly higher for rare breeds or high-quality breeding or show animals.
Only an official pedigree confirms the breed affiliation – friendly words from the seller are not sufficient.
A cat without a pedigree is not considered a pedigree cat, even if it looks like one. Such cats are priced similarly to a well-cared-for domestic cat with vaccinations and veterinary checks, typically between 170 and 500 Swiss Francs.
The organization FIFe (Fédération Internationale Féline) explicitly prohibits its members from selling cats without a pedigree.
Adoption age
Our kittens leave our home at the earliest age of 14 weeks. During this time, they learn important social skills from their mother cat and siblings. They are vaccinated, dewormed, and health-checked. Leaving them early may negatively impact their development—we make no exceptions.
Only with company
We do not give our cats away for single keeping:
-
There must be at least one other cat living in the household,
-
or the cat must have access to the outdoors and be able to have regular contact with other cats (e.g. neighbors' cats).
-
Alternatively, a second cat from our breeding or from another source can be added within a short time.
Thai cats are very social and easily suffer from loneliness. Cats kept alone will develop behavioral problems or become unhappy.
Sterilization
If you purchase a cat as a pet (not for breeding), sterilization is mandatory.
The procedure must be carried out by a veterinarian at the recommended age of 6 to 8 months. The new owner is responsible for the costs.
After the sterilization, a receipt or confirmation from the veterinarian must be submitted to us.
Sterilization prevents unwanted reproduction and contributes to a calmer, healthier life for the cat.
We only sell pedigree cats unneutered to registered breeders or exhibitors. Otherwise, we would be violating Swiss animal welfare law, as responsible breeding cannot be ensured without neutering regulations.
Adoption contract
At the time of reservation, viewing, or selection of the kitten, a deposit of 50% of the purchase price is required, and the purchase contract will be drawn up.
The kitten is only firmly reserved once the deposit has been paid and the contract has been signed.
This procedure is in place to protect both the buyer and the seller.
Suitable home
We reserve the right to refuse the sale of a kitten if we feel that the future living conditions do not meet our standards. Every animal has the right to safety, attention, and care.
