·  How much is the deposit?

A non-refundable fee of $800 is required to secure the kitten of your choice.  If paying through an app such as Paypal or Venmo, the remaining balance is due 14 days before the kitten is picked up in person or before delivery with vetted pet nanny will occur. No Refunds of the deposit for changing mind.

**​I reserve the right to refuse sale and return the deposit of any cat or kitten at any time without explanation**

·  What age can the kitten come home with me?

Kittens leave Everpaw only after completing all vaccines, being spayed/neutered (or on a Spay/Neuter Contract), microchipped, and fully cleared by my veterinarian. This means they’re usually between 12 and 16 weeks old before going to their forever homes. I believe in letting kittens stay with their moms as long as they need—it helps them grow healthier, become expert litter box users, and develop strong social skills. Since Exotics and Persians mature slower than other breeds, this extra time is crucial.  Beware of anyone selling Exotic kittens as young as 8 weeks—they’re simply not ready!

·  What is the best way to contact you?

Facebook Messenger or e-mail are the best ways to get in contact with me. My email address is everpawcats@gmail.com and links to my Facebook page are at the bottom of every page and will take you there.  If you need to speak with me via telephone, please send me an email to set an appointment so that I can give you my full attention.

·  How much do Exotic Shorthair and Persian Kittens cost?

An $800 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your kitten. All my Exotic Shorthair and Persian pet kittens are $2,900. When kittens become available, I first contact those on my reservation list. If any remain, I’ll post photos here and on Facebook and Instagram. Interested in welcoming an Everpaw kitten? Send me a message—I’d love to chat!

·  Do you sell cats for breeding?

I am open to selling my cats to new breeders, but please know that I typically work with other show breeders that I already know and am friends with. If you wish to apply for a breeding cat then you will need to submit an application through email or social media. 

My application questions are: Do you have some experience with feline husbandry or are you willing to be mentored if you have no experience?  Do you/will you have an ethical program which includes genetic and health testing? What are your breeding goals (1, 3, and 5 years worth of goals)?  Do you understand the investment needed in order to have a good quality breeding program ($15,000-$25,000 is a good baseline investment - it is not cheap to get started)?  If you have a family are they willing to accept the number of cats in your home that are needed to begin a program (3 girls and 1 boy is standard just to get started)?  Will you abide by the contract we sign? Do you have the time and resources needed to travel all over the country to attend cat shows every season? 

Please send me an email or a message on social media to let me know your interest and please be ready to have answers to the application questions.

For those interested in showing and not breeding, I may, on occasion, have cats available as Premiership/Alter candidates. 

·  Do you have a contract to purchase a kitten?

Yes. A contract will be provided and must be signed prior to pick up or delivery of the kitten.

·  What should I feed my new kitten or cat?

For local families I send food samples home with every kitten to make the transition easier, and try to send some with my pet courier if there is room on the flight. I also send a list of what I recommend including food, bowls, and litter etc about a month before your kitten will come home, giving plenty of time to prepare for your new baby. 

Be careful—abrupt diet changes or overfeeding can cause diarrhea! If you’re switching foods, do it slowly: start by mixing one part new food with five parts current food, then gradually increase the new food over a few weeks until it’s all they eat. 

·  Do you ship?

Yes, kittens/cats can be shipped at the buyer's expense with either a trusted flight nanny or myself and only after contracts are signed and final payment is made.  I do not ship cats unaccompanied via flight cargo.  You may also come to MSP and I will meet you at the airport with your new baby.

·  Will my kitten come with a health guarantee?

Yes. Your Everpaw bred kitten will have a three year health guarantee (from the date of purchase) against genetic defects which will result in loss of life.   More details regarding health guarantees will be found in the contract.
