ALTYNCATTERY

RIGHT OF REFUSAL:

We reserve the right to refuse a sale to any person, for any reason, without explanation.

Please understand that Altyn Cattery are NOT your typical online breeder that will sell to anyone with the financial ability to buy a kitten. We do not grant adoption privilege to just anyone. We do require a thorough interview to make sure you can provide a suitable home for our little ones and reserve the right to refuse sale of any kitten pictured on our website if we feel your home is not suitable.  Our main goal and responsibility is to find a loving, safe and caring home for every kitten we place for adoption and as such reserve the right to be selective in that search. 

If we feel there will be a lack of proper care with the new potential owner, we have the right to refuse the adoption at any given time during the adoption process. Any and all deposits or adoption fees will be return in full if we refuse the adoption. 

We only place our kittens into the hands of the best pre-approved homes.   


DEPOSIT:

A non-refundable deposit $300 is required to reserve a kitten prior to placement. 

Deposit Disclosure:  We are aware that circumstances change and it is not always possible to take possession of a cat or kitten as originally planned. Deposits will be considered payment for boarding, grooming and lost opportunities for placement if the buyer changes their mind for any reason. So please be sure before sending deposit. 

If a deposit has been sent by mail while another adopter is able to pay immediately using any immediate-payment methods (such as Zelle, PayPal or Venmo) for the same cat or kitten, we will accept payment from the adopter who's entire payment reaches us first, and we will refund the deposit upon receiving it.  

CATTERY VISITS: 
Since we maintain a very sanitary and clean environment to protect all our cats, we do not allow anyone to come to "just look around". If you already paced deposit and it is time to choose the kitten you like, we will contact ou to schedule time for your visit. We are located in Greer South Carolina.

TIMING:
Kittens are normally placed at 10 weeks of age and are fully inoculated (shots record and de-worming record are provided). 

ABOUT FIP:

We prioritize the health and well-being of our kittens. However, it’s essential for cat owners to understand Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)—a disease that is not genetic and not the fault of the breeder. FIP is a rare but serious disease caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus (FCoV), a common virus found in many cats. Most cats exposed to FCoV remain healthy, but in rare cases, the virus mutates inside the cat’s body, leading to FIP. 

​

FIP is not inherited. Some studies suggest that certain breeds may have a slightly higher risk due to immune system factors, but FIP itself is not passed from parents to kittens.  Stress, immune system health, and environmental factors can contribute to whether a cat’s body can fight off the virus.

​

To prevent FIP we maintain strict hygiene, reduce stress in kittens, and only breed from healthy lines. However, because feline coronavirus is very common, no breeder can fully eliminate the risk. Once a kitten leaves the cattery, factors like stress, a new environment, or exposure to other cats can increase the risk of FIP developing. If your kitten develops FIP, it is an unfortunate but unpredictable event, not the result of bad breeding.
