How to adopt a kitten | ALASKASIBCAT

This page is a plain-language summary. The signed purchase agreement is the binding document, and its terms take precedence over anything written here.

Price and reservation

Pet kittens are $1,600–$2,900. The price of each kitten is listed with the kitten, and we are happy to answer any question about it.

A $350 reservation deposit is credited toward the purchase price. Under the agreement, the deposit may be retained if the buyer cancels, fails to pay the balance when due, or fails to take the kitten within seven days after the scheduled handover date. Amounts paid above the deposit are refunded within 14 days. If we cancel before handover, all amounts paid are refunded within 14 days. Before accepting the kitten at handover, the buyer may also decline and receive a full refund within 14 days for a microchip mismatch, an undisclosed visible illness or injury, or an incorrect sex. Full terms and applicable legal rights apply.

When kittens go home

Kittens leave for their new homes at about 4 months of age, after they have been spayed or neutered. Our kittens are placed as pets, not for breeding.

Limited health guarantees

Our purchase agreement provides separate coverage for specified conditions present at handover and for death caused by specified hereditary or congenital defects.

Conditions present at handover. Coverage requires a licensed veterinary examination within three calendar days after the Sale Date and written notice by 11:59 p.m. Alaska time on the third calendar day. Written veterinary findings may follow promptly and must establish that the condition was present at handover. For a covered claim, the remedy is a replacement pet kitten of comparable quality within 12 months after receipt of the written notice and veterinary findings. A living kitten must be returned when the replacement is received unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Two-year hereditary and congenital guarantee. This applies if the kitten dies within two years after the Sale Date as the direct result of a life-threatening hereditary or congenital defect. Requirements include written notice within 48 hours of death, preservation of the body for necropsy, and the required necropsy report and veterinary records. A replacement pet kitten of comparable quality is provided within 12 months after receipt of the written notice and required proof.

The three-day examination requirement does not apply to the two-year hereditary and congenital guarantee. Both guarantees are subject to the agreement’s conditions, exclusions and notice procedures. Please review its definitions of Sale Date and handover, including handover to a buyer’s carrier or agent. Rights that cannot lawfully be waived are preserved.

Pickup and delivery

Pickup is in Wasilla, Alaska. Delivery to another state may be available by prior arrangement. Transportation is not included in the purchase price. Availability, costs and handover arrangements must be confirmed in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Can I visit the kittens?: Please contact us to arrange it. We raise our kittens at home, so visits are planned in advance.
Are Siberian cats hypoallergenic?: We do not guarantee allergy compatibility. Reactions vary by person and by cat. Human allergies are excluded from our contractual health guarantees. The agreement does not provide a refund solely because of an allergic reaction, subject to applicable law. If allergies are a concern, we recommend spending time with the breed before deciding.
Can I reserve a kitten from a future litter?: Yes. Write to us and we will let you know when a litter is confirmed.
Do you sell kittens for breeding?: No. Our kittens are placed as pets and are spayed or neutered before they go home.
Can the kitten go outside?: Our kittens are indoor cats. Outdoor time is fine under supervision, on a leash or in a secure enclosure.
What if I can no longer keep the cat?: Please contact us first. We ask every owner to offer the cat back to us before rehoming it, so it never ends up in a shelter.
