We're registered with TICA and are listed on our website, so our identity has been verified. However, there a lot of fraud when it comes to kittens and the internet. We lost $1,000 by paying in advance via Cash app for a kitten, and you can read about it on Our Story page. So we understand and if you're worried, you can protect yourself by using Paypal or credit card by using the links below. Both options guarantee that you'll get your money back should something go wrong.

What the adoption includes is listed on our Adoptions Fee Info page.

Conditions

Adoption Fee

A written confirmation of payment of the deposit and the kitten's reservation can be provided upon request. Adoption is contract-based. Full details are spelled in the contracts.

We reserve the right to deny adoption if we deem that the kitten isn't a good fit for your environment. We love our kittens and want to ensure that they'll be loved back.

Russian-born kittens will be available for pickup or delivery within Washington DC metro area upon their arrival at the airport. In order to reserve a kitten and guarantee their place on our next flight, we ask for a slightly higher deposit because we pre-pay for transportation to the USA. Sometimes you may have to wait until we have a group of four flying. If you'd prefer not to wait and have the kitten be flown immediately, an additional $500 fee would apply.

Delivery within the US is usually available within the continental US via the American Airlines PetEmbark service. As of September 24, 2021, their fee is $436. In addition, a health certificate that the kitten is healthy will be needed to be obtained from a veterinarian within 10 days of travel. The fee to examine the kitten and to issue the certificate varries between the clinics, but is usually $100-$150. We don't charge anything extra to obtain the health certificate and arrange the travel.

We also offer our own courier airline service throughout the year. Please inquire.

You're also welcome to make your own arrangements or fly yourself to DC. We'll be happy to deliver your kitten to IAD airport.
