Cattery of Arda

Please see below for the current and expected litters available for sale; this page is updated regularly as availability changes. I understand that you're anxious for a Burmese kitten, but if the page here says "no kittens available", then that is the current status. :(  Please contact me if you have a question regarding something other than current availability (found on this page) or pricing (which can be found on my About page). Thank you for respecting that both my time (and your time) is valuable, and not emailing just to ask "are kittens available and how much?". I do not mean to be rude, but a lot of time and effort were put into making this site contain nearly ALL THE INFORMATION needed to learn about the cattery, my waitlist expectations, my pricing, my contract info, and kitten availability. Therefore, if you email me with an inquiry like that, I will simply refer you back to my website. Thank you for understanding! 

July 2023 Update: Please read before contacting me! 

I have one active queen at the moment (Galadriel). Please see my Blog posts #64 and #65 for more details on these changes to the cattery. I encourage you to fill out an application/contact me, but my priority over the next year will be to focus on supplying kittens to waitlist families already on the list. 
 

I do not feel it to be ethical about to ask for anyone's new non-refundable deposit given these circumstances of not being able to guarantee that I'll have kittens to offer you before I have to take a "pause" for schooling/career change next year. However - I would love to put your names down on a list to contact if openings do come up during the time while Galadriel is still active and then at that point you can send in a deposit/contract for that kitten.  

As discussed in the About page, there is a non-refundable deposit of $200 (per kitten) required to secure a kitten before pick-up/securing your place on the waitlist. Upon pick up the kitten, the remaining $1,000 (per kitten) will be due.

Kitten deposit process: 1) Please answer the questionnaire/application on the Contract page. 2) After we've "talked" over email and verified that a Burmese/Thai related kitten is right for you, then I will give you the address where your non-refundable deposit needs to be sent. 3) Please download and fill out the contract form and send it in with your deposit!  4) Check the website for updates (my Blog has regular updates) and wait until you're contacted with a kitten offer. 

These kittens are adorable, and I understand the desire to see them in person and cuddle with them prior to pick up day, but unfortunately I do not allow visitors to come to the cattery (please see the FAQ page for more details). 

Emails must receive a response within 48 hours when offered a kitten: When it's your "turn" on the waitlist and you're offered a kitten, you will be given approximately 48 hours (sometimes longer) to respond before I move on to the next person in line. I do this in the spirit of fairness to everyone concerned so that all kitten adopters have adequate time to prepare for travel arrangements and purchase their items for the new furry member of their family. I appreciate your understanding and prompt response!  For those whose deposits have already been sent in, I advise that you monitor your email during the last 4-3 weeks before a litter will go home. As mentioned in a different page, if you are offered a kitten(s) that does not match your preferences discussed in our emails and on your contract, there are no negative 'consequences' for passing until there are kittens that match your preferences better. If you pass on an offer that does meet your preferences as we've discussed/on your contract, then I will not hold your place in line for a future litter. That would not be fair to others on the list.  

General email notes: When you submit an application or general inquiry, I will do my best to answer you within a couple of days. However, while raising kittens is my "favorite job" without question, it is not my only job nor responsibility, and I am not always able to respond to you as quickly as I would like. Thank you for understanding! 

I used to use Gmail for correspondence - it didn't always show me new emails or your responses. I messed with the settings to try to fix this, but it still happened occasionally. Now I use a different provider (Startmail), and I haven't missed any emails from anyone - so, success! I still may change it in the future if another provider offers better services, but likely I will not be emailing you from Gmail anymore. The way I have it set up on my website though it to still get some notifications through Gmail; so if you see that one on message reply information, that's why :)
