Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We are located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California
1st Step: An adoption application is filled out before adoption. Once accepted, adoption can proceed. It is recommended to complete it in advance, should you be on a waiting list. Pre-screened applicants get priority on waiting lists. 2nd Step: Once a kitten is available for adoption, a non-refundable deposit is given to reserve cat/kitten until they reach 10-16 weeks of age, dependent on kitten’s physical and emotional development. 12 weeks is the “normal” age whereas kittens naturally wean themselves from their mother. 3rd Step: A written contract is then signed by both parties. 4th Step: Bringing cat/kitten home to a house which is prepared in advance for a new family member
Upon adoption, all cats/kittens bred by us, will come with a health guarantee. Upon request, A “Health Certificate” can be provided from our vet. Details provided in written contract.
VACCINES: All our cats/kittens are vaccinated at age appropriate times with core vaccines. PARASITES: Also, we keep all cats/kittens on a preventative, routine parasitic treatment for fleas and worms. NEUTERING/SPAYING: we do not believe in juvenile neutering/spaying. We believe kittens need to remain intact, allowing their hormones to fully assist in their physical development until they reach an age of maturity before altering them. LITTERBOX TRAINING: Cats and kittens are all litterbox trained before leaving our home. It is very important to use the same litter as we do. Should you choose to use a different product, you must slowly change litter type by adding new litter to current litter over a few days until new litter has been accepted. Changing litter abruptly can often result in a cat/kitten relieving themselves elsewhere.

As a general rule, we do not ship. We would like our kittens picked up personally.  On a rare occasion, we have shipped young adult cats who can manage the stress of shipping.  However, a shipped cat would not come with a health guarantee, beyond a vet health check certificate, should the stress cause any illness.   All cats/kittens bred by SB Cattery come with a limited genetic health guarantee.
