About Our Kittens
Your kitten comes home TICA-registered, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, with a full pedigree, health record, veterinary health certificate, starter food, a familiar-scent blanket, favorite toy, and our adoption contract.
Yes. All Oronovo kittens are fully litter trained before go-home. We use horse pellets — the best option for litter with the lowest odor and lowest cost. We recommend continuing with the same litter initially.
Kittens go home at 14 weeks or older. This extended socialization period is non-negotiable — it produces calmer, more confident adults.
We prefer to help match kittens to families based on temperament and lifestyle. That said, we always discuss preferences with you and work to honor them.
Shipping & Transport
We do not ship kittens as cargo. We can arrange a nanny flight (kitten travels in-cabin with a trusted family member) or ground transport for families outside driving distance. Contact us for a transport quote. Local pickup is always preferred.
Absolutely, and we love when families do this. We can arrange for your kitten to fly home in-cabin with you. We will guide you through the process.
Pricing & Deposit
Pet kittens start at $3,600 for females and $4,100 for males. Smoke colors are priced higher. All prices include spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, and our health guarantee.
A $500 deposit is required to secure a waitlist spot or reserve a specific kitten. Deposits are transferable to a future litter if yours falls through. The deposit is applied toward your total kitten price. Full deposit terms are outlined in the adoption contract.
The remaining balance is due two weeks before go-home day.
Health & Guarantee
We provide a 2-year genetic health guarantee against life-threatening heritable conditions (HCM, SMA, PKDef). We recommend a vet check within 72 hours of go-home to confirm your kitten's health on arrival. Full details are in the adoption contract.
Yes. All breeding cats are DNA tested for the Maine Coon HCM mutation (MyBPC3 A31P). Test results are available on request.
Kittens receive their FVRCP series (rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia) per AAFP schedule. Rabies is administered per state requirement and vet recommendation.
