FAQ

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.

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.

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.

The remaining balance is due two weeks before go-home day.
