Kittens
During the kittens life with us, we maintain a good supply of internet contact including photos to new adopters/owners, so they are able to get a closer bond before their kittens arrive. Our kittens leave home around 15 weeks old.
If you would like to enquire about a kitten or be included on our kitten list please fill out our Questionaire copy and email it back to us.
We like to collect a little information about our kitten owners so we can assure the best home for each kitten. If you could fill out our kitten questionnaire and return that would be the next step.
The kittens leave home desexed, fully vaccinated (2x), wormed and litter box trained. and of course dearly loved. They leave the cattery around 13-14 weeks old once they have recovered fromvacinations and the desexing operation.
Our kittens are $1750 Includes 2 vaccines, worming, vet checked x2., desexing, registered with the New Zealand Cat Fancy Inc, microchipping and also having the microchip registered with the New Zealand Companion Animal Registry.
Additional charges include transport to their new home.
When kittens arrive we need time to assess their breeding/show potential and will "reserve under evaluation" kittens that will be DNA tested by Davis Animal Genetic Laboratory in California, which can take a few weeks to process. Others that may not be the colours we are breeding or the sex we require in our program will be available at three weeks then others become available after DNA test results are received.

There is also the cost of travel which can vary from time to time so its best to check with animal transporters. We use Kris Archer at Flying Paws NZ. We can no longer deal directly with the airlines and they now require an certified Pet Transporter to deal with them.

I also require an airline approved carry cage that are often available on Trade Me for $50 or you can send one you have to me. Carla can also provide transport cages, please inquire directly for the cost.
Once you have chosen a kitten a non refundable deposit of $500 is required to hold the kitten for you. During waiting for the kitten you will receive our Loriendale Kitten care which covers all sorts of things from diet, preparing for the arrival, things you will need to purchase for the kitten, general healthcare and loads more.
As you can expect our kittens are sort after and they don’t seem to be “available” for long. We do have people on our waiting list and priority is given to those who have been waiting longest if there is a kitten that fits their requirements. Everyone seems to have different requirements with colour, pattern and gender so quite often there will be a kittens that is available to "new additions" to the kitten list.
The best way to see what is happening is visit the website. I also advise everyone on the our waiting list when a litter is born and I have identified the colours ( this can sometimes take a while).
We sometimes have young breeding cats that we re-home for $500 - $800.
