Prices and conditions updated on January 1, 2025
Our price: €1650 for a LOOF-registered Siberian kitten. This price does not include the costs associated with long-distance shipping within France or abroad. Note: We reserve the right to choose our adopters and to protect our bloodlines.
The selling price of a Siberian Express kitten is calculated as follows: Amortization of the cost of construction and maintenance of the outdoor facilities Purchase (€2,500 per cat on average) and upkeep of the breeding cats Veterinary care during pregnancy (ultrasound and X-ray) Vaccinations, microchipping, pedigree application, deworming, pre-departure health check Operating costs of the cattery (food, litter, care for all cats) Communication costs (website, advertising, and specialized listings) And 20% VAT paid to the government. The remainder goes partly to the MSA (French agricultural social security system) and the rest is used to compensate the breeder for their work at the cattery.
Regarding adoptions,
If you would like to adopt a kitten before going on vacation, we would be happy to keep it until your return. For health reasons, visits will only be possible from the kitten's 8 weeks of age and by appointment. Outside of the periods when kittens are available for adoption, no visits will be permitted in order to respect the well-being of our cats and protect their health.
The different stages of adoption:
-
Once you have contacted me about a potential adoption and explained your preferences, I will send you photos to confirm your choice. At that point, you will be asked to pay a deposit of €550 by bank transfer. We do not accept checks.
-
Adopting a kitten is a serious decision; therefore, once a deposit has been paid, it will not be refunded if you change your mind. However, if a medical problem arises with the chosen kitten before it leaves the cattery, your deposit will either be refunded or you will be offered another kitten.
-
No later than 7 days before your kitten leaves, you will be asked to complete and sign a mandatory animal welfare commitment and knowledge certificate.
-
Three days before your little one leaves, the remaining balance must be received either by standard bank transfer or instant bank transfer on the day of departure.
-
Before you leave, I will give you all the official documents in my possession (up-to-date health record, I-CAD card, LOOF pedigree if received, your copy of the sales contract, payment invoice, and health certificate).
-
To ensure a smooth transition home with your little darling, I will provide you with advice. I will also give you a toy and kitten food if you wish to switch brands to facilitate the change in diet.
