Getting a Mystic Melody Siberian Kitten...
Please read this entire page before emailing me your questions. If you have any unanswered questions after reading this, I'll be happy to answer them.
Siberian kittens are extremely cute, there's no question about it! If you are looking for a Mystic Melody Siberian kitten, please read the information below and read the fun stories about how other kittens buyers have experienced the Mystic Melody road to Siberian Servant! We screen our prospect siberian kitten buyers thoroughly to ensure our kittens only go to the best homes possible.To help you prepare for the arrival of your siberian kitten, we refer you to our kitten care page that contains information about basic care, food, health, toys and training.
Selecting the right breed for you and then finding a responsible breeder are the first steps you'll take when acquiring a new pet. But what makes someone a responsible breeder? Use the following tips to identify breeders who have the best interests of their cats, and your family, in mind.
Joining the Club – Is the breeder a member of a national or local cat club? National and International breed clubs as well as local clubs will often have a breeding Code of Ethics that members are required to follow. CFA-recognized breeds have Breed Councils. Membership allows breeders to stay up-to-date on health and educational information related to their specific breed of cat.
We are a member of TAIGA and TISCA, both International Siberian Cat Clubs, I am President of our local PartyCats Cat Club, a show manager, TICA Liaison for the Junior Exhibitors program in the South East region. and our cattery is registered with both TICA and CFA.
Meet the Parents – Have you been able to verify that the breeder properly cares for the parents of the pet you're considering by providing veterinary care, exercise, high-quality food, and a clean and stimulating living environment? Will the kittens have their shots before coming to live with you? Have they been exposed to plenty of people and situations to ensure proper socialization?
Our cats and kittens are extremely well socialized, and kitten buyers can always come visit their kitten and the parents. We think it is very important for you to see how we raise our cats and kittens. For people who are not able to come visit, we maintain a blog.
Show titles – Does the breeder show their cats? Showing cats involves a lot of time and money and it tells you how committed the breeder is to their goal of maintaining and improving their breed. Show cats have to meet a written standard, and most cats with titles do. A simple Championship title doesn't mean very much, look for International and Regional Winners, look for TICA Supreme Grand Champions and CFA Grand Champions. Those are the cats that have been in show finals many times rather then just once (as is Championship). Ask for title confirmation certificates, or ask to see their awards. Any breeder with good cats that shows, will proudly show you all the awards they have won. Don't just take their word, ask for proof!
Our cats are multiple award winners. We have several Regional winners and Supreme Grand Champions. We have won many regional awards, and continue to show our cats and kittens on a very regular basis to ensure the best kittens regarding type and conformation.
will want to make absolutely certain that you will take
of you and others who will be caring for your cat. A responsible breeder takes every possible measure
your pet's life to provide guidance and answer questions.
Every potential kitten buyer is required to fill out a kitten match form. This helps us matching you up with the perfect kitten for you and your family. Sometimes people are set on getting a specific color kitten, but most people trust us to match them with the right kitten for them, as we know the character of our kittens very well and know what kitten will do great in what kind of home.
Kitten prices...
Prices are not negotiable.
*** Breeder kittens are occasionally sold by private treaty only ***
Adult prices...
From time to time we have retired adults available. Sometimes that is a retired breeding cat, and sometimes that is a very young adult that didn't quite turn out the way we hoped for type wise that will be made available to a pet home. All of these pets are spayed and neutered and current on their vaccinations before being places into a new pet home, and the prices are as follows:
0-2 years: $800, 2-4 years: $650, 4+ years: $500 (Prices are NOT negotiable!)
For a while we tried to maintain a wait list that became more complicated as the list got longer and longer. People at the end of the list wanted to choose their kitten, but had to wait for the first ones in line that didn't want to pick until the kittens were 12 weeks old. This caused a lot of irritation with kitten buyers so we decided to no longer do that.
We make our kittens available on our "available kittens" page and on our facebook page. If you see a kitten that you would like to buy, you fill out and email us a Kitten Match Form. Once you hear from us that your form has been approved, I require 1/3 of the total fee to reserve the kitten ($325). At that point I will take the kitten off the available page, and it will be reserved in your name. Once a kittens has been reserved by you, the deposit is non refundable. You pay another $325 at 6 weeks of age, and the final $325 right before pickup of the kitten, so your kitten is paid in full by the time you come pick it up or when it's delivered to you.
!!! ATTENTION !!! *** Please make checks or money orders payable to Judith Johnson. Checks made out to Siberian Cattery Mystic Melody will NOT be accepted ! ***
When our siberian kittens are born, they are not being made available right away. We often wait about 3-4 weeks so we can evaluate the
quality, gender, health and development of the kittens. As the breeder I retain
the right of first choice in all litters, which means I can select a kitten to
keep in our own breeding program. The kittens that are available to our kitten buyers will be made available on our "available kittens" page.
What do I get...?
When you pick up your kitten, you will also receive the following:
* Vet check prior to pickup/shipping
* Age appropriate vaccinations and health record
*Spayed/neutered kitten
* Picture Pedigree
* Registration with TICA or CFA
* A written health guarantee against genetic diseases.
* Life long guidance and feedback.
Shipping..... Kittens go home around 12 weeks of
age. I do not ship kittens via cargo. Shipping costs vary anywhere between $350 and $450 via cargo and for that amount of money, it's better to purchase a ticket and come get the kitten yourself, or make use of a courier service available to me for $150-$200 depending on where you live in the USA. If you decide to fly in, I will meet you at the airport with the kitten. For the little fur baby it is a much less stressful way of traveling which makes the transition to the new home much easier. For me, it is always very nice if I am able to meet kitten buyers in person.
Stay in touch...! Because we have the best interest of our kittens at heart, we are continuously involved with our kitten buyers throughout the entire process. We are dedicated to keeping you updated on your kitten's progress, and will make sure you can watch your kitten grow and get to know their personalities.
You will not be forgotten between reservation, final payment and pick up! During this process it is when
we get to know our kitten families best, and it helps ensure us that our kittens go to the right
loving families.
Please fill it out and return it to us if you're interested in
