KITTENS = JOY! AND SO IS OUR STRESS-FREE ADOPTION PROCESS.

An adoption fee is individually determined based on the characteristics of each kitten. In general, though, our adoption fees are tier structured as shown below. 

Tier 1:

• Scottish Straight: $590 - $1,990.
• Scottish Fold: $1,590 - $2,190
• British Shorthair: $1,190 - $1,990

Tier 2:

• Scottish Straight: $1,991 - $2,490
• Scottish Fold: $2,191 - $2,590
• British Shorthair: $1,991 - $2,490

Tier 3:

• Scottish Straight: $2,491 - $2,990
• Scottish Fold: $2,591 - $3,490
• British Shorthair: $2,491 - $3,190

The vast majority of our kittens are in Tier1 or the lower end of Tier 2! 

* Virginia residents should add 6% to the adoption fee. We're required by law to collect and transmit the state's sales tax to the state. 

Characteristics that affect what tier a particular kitten is placed are the following:

• Temperament plays a big role. The friendlier, the kitten, the more desirable they are, which can be reflected in the adaption fee structure. 
• We think that cats are superior than people anyway, so their perceived intelligence plays a very minor role, if any.  
• Darkness/lightness of the coat with lighter color raising the adoption fee. For instance, any kitten with “12” in their color code are likely to be placed a in a higher tier than a kitten with “24” or “22” or “25.” So-called chinchillas tend to be more expensive, and “tigers” tend to be more affordable. 
• Coat color distribution. Kittens with even coat color distribution placed in a higher tier. 
• Presence and type of a pattern on the coat. Absence of any pattern being more desirable, and, therefore, more expensive. 
• Coat length, shorthaired or longhaired with the latter being more expensive. Thickness and softness of the coat also play a role. 
• Shape and size of the head. The rounder the head, the higher the tier. 
• Outline of the kitten's profile can also play a minor role. 
• Folds are more expensive than Straights, as evident from the tiers. Kittens with smaller and more tightly folded ears are preferred and valued more. 
• The bigger the eyes, the better, and the color of the eyes also playing a role. Deep blue sapphire blue eyes in a color-pointed kitten will place them in a higher tier. 
• Long  and thick tail is a good thing. Kittens with shorter tails are likely to be more affordable. 
• We don’t discriminate by gender, so it doesn't matter whether it's a female or male kitten. 

The criteria are listed in no particular order, and the list isn’t all-exhaustive.
