4. What is the cost of a kitten as a desexed pet?

If you prioritise price over all other factors, our kittens may not be the best choice for you. While we understand the importance of budget considerations, our pricing reflects the extensive health testing, veterinary care, nutritious diet and all the time and efforts we put into our kittens' health, well-being, and highest breeding standards. Click on the below tabs to check pricing guide for traditional colours & rare colours and explanation of type/quality.

Our kittens' prices are determined when they are 6-8 weeks old, based on their type, quality, lineage, and color rarity. We may take longer to evaluate a kitten from a new mating.

Lilac is a recessive gene, and we retired many lilac carriers in recent years so there is a small chance of having lilac (and bicolour or torties) in our future litters.

For bicolours, the market has a strong preference in symmetric face pattern so you will be looking toward the higher end of the price range due to market preferences, irrespective of the kitten's type.

Torties (all girls by genetics)

Blue cream tortie: $3500-4000

Tortie bicolour: $4000-4500

The golden is relatively new in this breed and has only a few decades of history. We're proud pioneers of introducing this color into Australia.

Goldens should ideally have a warm and rich apricot undertone (with a red hue). However, if crossed with traditional colors, they develop a dark greyish tint. To maintain the color and avoid inbreeding, we have to import every couple of years to continue the bloodlines.

They have small litters, and higher cesarean rate. in breeding season 2023-24, the average is 2.37 kittens per litter. This contributes to the significant costs associated with our pricing.

We will have a contract in place with some main restrictions but not limited to:

1. No Furrytail offspring within 2 generations can be sold as entires unless with our permission
