Our Policies / Information

• Kittens are sold by written purchase contract for $1250.00 for males and $1300.00 for females plus 6% Kentucky sales tax.  On occasion we do offer retired breeders with a written purchase contract for $650.00. We only offer the retirees to pre-screened families already on our waiting list.
  

• This price includes spaying/neutering surgeries, a 72 hour healthy kitten/cat guarantee, a 2 year genetic health guarantee, kitten shots and veterinarian treatments/evaluations as age appropriate, a goodie bag that contains various supplies, toys, gifts, copies of both parents pedigrees and health record.  It also includes the papers to register the kitten with both the CFA and TICA.  
  

• We do offer a $100.00 discount if you want two kittens.  This is highly recommended if you spend a lot of time away from home as Siberian Cats are extremely sociable.  This discount can also apply to a future 2nd kitten bought from us.  

• All kittens will be considered as available until a non - refundable deposit of $300.00 is received towards a kitten.  We reserve the right to hold any kitten for observation to stay with us.  Payments can be made via PayPal (you must pay fees incurred), cashiers check from a bank, postal money order or in cash.  Kittens must be paid in full (Price plus shipping/travel expense) at least 1 week prior to delivery or pick-up if paying with PayPal or a personal check. 
  

• We will only “ship” a kitten with a hand carrier in airline cabin.  Currently the rate for this option is $400.00 (A current quote will be obtained if this option is necessary.) 

• We prefer to meet 1/2 way rather than ship kittens whenever possible, or if necessary, will drive the entire way.  Mileage to offset gas/ travel expenses may be necessary.

• We will not allow declawing of any of our kittens/cats.   Please click on this link to learn more about this very painful and inhuman practice.  http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/cats/tips/declawing.html 

• Our kittens/cats must be kept as indoor pets only!  They can be trained to accept a leash for outdoor time.  If you opt to allow your cat to go outside, any health guarantees are void. 

• We screen the families that are interested in our kittens.  So do not be surprised if we ask questions about your family and home environment or even ask you for a vet reference.  These cats/kittens are very special us and we want to know they are going to the best possible home.  We reserve the right not to sell you a kitten for any reason.

• We will not let a kitten go to their new home until we feel they are 100% ready to leave.  We will not let a kitten go to a home before they are 12-14 weeks old. 

• Our breeding cats have been screened for FIV & FeLV.  We only breed bloodlines that have been tested and documented negative for HCM or PKD.  Currently there is no DNA testing available for HCM in the Siberian breed, when DNA tests do become available we will begin the DNA testing. 
  

• All our kittens are from healthy championship lines and are registered with both TICA and CFA.

• We do offer a 30 minute (Visits are limited to half an hour in consideration for the cats and kittens participating) cattery visitation.  This is not an accurate way of testing for allergies due to the number of cats we have plus other allergy triggers present in the home, such as our dog. We offer this for families who would like to view how their future kitten/cat has been raised. The visitation fee is $50.00 is non-refundable but will be fully applied to the price of a Cold Spring Siberian kitten, if a deposit is placed for a currently available or future kitten. This fee must be paid via PayPal before the visitation.  This ensure that the visitors are serious about wanting to see about how their future beloved pet has been cared for here and not just to come "play" with our kittens. This can only be done if we do not have any kittens under 8 weeks old or any females who are within 2 weeks of their due date.  We are no longer offering home visits due to a bad experience we had. 

• Any person interested in our kittens who has allergies must do an allergy test with our kittens or cat. We do an allergy test by sending fur samples from the mother and father of the litter.  Siberians allergen levels can vary so the fur testing must be done with the parents of the litter (if you are looking for a kitten) or the adult cat (if you are looking at a retired breeder.)  The fur sample testing fee is $20.00.  This must be paid via PayPal before the fur sample will be mailed out. This use to be a free service but we have received many requests from people who are just curious about the hypoallergenic qualities of a Siberian.  We usually have to trim fur from our cats in order to supply the fur samples. This leaves the cats unable to be used for showing and missing locks of hair. This fur sample testing fee is non-refundable but will be applied in full to the purchase of a Cold Spring Siberian kitten.
