Is there a waitlist?

​
Are deposits non-refundable?

Is there a health guarantee?
At CosmicRoyals, we stand by the health and well-being of our kittens, offering a 2-year health guarantee against congenital defects, including HCM and other serious heart, kidney, or liver issues that may lead to death.

​
​
When will I be able to take my kitten home?
-At CosmicRoyals, we prioritize the well-being of our kittens by ensuring they stay with their mother and littermates until they are at least 12-16 weeks old. This crucial time allows them to develop essential social skills and strengthens their immune systems, setting them up for a happy and healthy transition to their new homes. By waiting, we help prevent stress and potential behavioral issues, such as litterbox, aggression, and anxiety. Your kitten's health and happiness are our top priorities!
​
​
Are visits allowed to your cattery?
-No. While we would love to welcome everyone to meet our adorable kittens, we prioritize their health and well-being by limiting visits.
