Here are my most Frequently Asked Questions

WILL MY KITTEN HAVE BLUE EYES?

All kittens are born with blue eyes. Depending on what colour your kitten is (and who the parents are) kitten's eye colour changes around 8 weeks of age.

Pointed cats always have blue eyes and Mink cats have blue/aqua colour

Other cats can only have green, gold or copper eyes

*The most common eye colours are in the middle of the eye colour spectrum (greenish-yellow to gold)

ARE TORTOISESHELL CATS ALWAYS FEMALE?

Tortoiseshell cats are almost always females. The reason for this is their (sex-linked gene) chromosomes. If you ever find a male tortoiseshell cat; he will be almost always be infertile.

WHY DO SOME DEVONS LOOK BALD?

The Devon Rex coat varies a lot within the breed. Some a very well coated and others don't have much coat at all.

Kittens do however lose a kitten coat at around 9-10 weeks of age which makes them look bald. They will grow back their coat. The best indication on how well coated your kitten will end up being is look at when they are first born.

DE SEXING KITTENS

I have spoken to my vet about this issue; he recommends that you have your kitten de sexed at around 5 months of age.

HOW MUCH ARE YOUR KITTENS?

Kittens are priced at $500 each; additional cost apply if you need your kitten to be Micro chipped ($30) or de-sexed. We do freight our kittens around Australia; however the purchaser arranges to cover these costs (More information below).

HOW DO I PUT A DEPOSIT/PAYMENT TO YOU

Josie's Cattery needs a $150 deposit if you wish to purchase a kitten. Depending on what is easiest for you to do; I except bank transfer, money order or Personal cheques.

I can not hold a kitten unless it has a deposit and Kittens do not leave my cattery unless the money has cleared.

CAN I VISIT THE KITTENS?

We are unable to offer "open tours" of our cattery. This is a hobby for us and this is our home.

However, serious buyers from approved homes are invited to visit the kittens after their first vaccination (between 7-8 weeks of age)

HOW OLD ARE THE KITTENS WHEN THEY LEAVE JOSIE'S CATTERY?

Kittens are generally picked up at 10 weeks of age. However I will hold a kitten back if I feel they are mature enough to leave my cattery

KITTEN CONTRACT

Before the kitten leaves for it's new home.  Parents are asked to sign a kitten contract that states that the kitten sold to them is sold for a pet and not for breeding

A copy of this contract can be either e-mail, posted or faxed to your home or workplace.

KITTENS TRAVELLING INTERSTATE

Josie's Cattery is happy to sell kittens to people interstate.  However all freight costs are paid for by purchaser. I can put a notice on my website if you are interested in sharing travel cost with another person.

Kitten's flying interstate will need to be travelling in a PP20 (with Bolts in each corner)

When ringing companies for freight. PLEASE ring around as they vary so much in prices!

Also let me know what your price is that you were quoted and I will see if I can get it cheaper for you
