Pet Kittens
$2850
Deposit $450, non-refundable *transferrable
Pet quality kittens that are spayed/neutered will be ready to go home after week 16, following their final vaccinations and the desexing procedure. Each kitten comes with a genetic 3-year health guarantee and is born to genetically tested parents, ensuring they are free from inheritable diseases and traits. Owners will receive registration on date of sale.
Pet quality means that there are a few traits or characteristics that may fall outside the breed standard as a natural genetic variation. This could be unique markings or more white or coloring in their pattern than the written standard. They will still be beautiful and unique and 100% Ragdoll. Past customers or those buying 2 cats will get a discount.
Every Darling Dollcats kitten will go home with a gift bag to help make their transition into their new home a little easier.
Your kitten’s gift bag includes:
• Kitten packet with complete health and vaccination records
• Copies of the parents’ genetic testing
• Rabies vaccination tag
• Microchip information
• Paw print keepsake card
• Signed kitten contract
• Darling Dollcats Ragdoll Handbook
• Darling Dollcats T-shirt
• Keychains
• Kitten toys
• Probiotic starter
• Dry and wet food starter
Breeder Kittens
$3850 +
Deposit $850, non-refundable *transferrable
limited availability
Our breeder kittens are exceptional examples of their breed, showcasing beautiful markings and temperament. They have received three rounds of the feline distemper vaccine, been dewormed, and will come with a genetic three-year health guarantee, along with a thorough vet check before they leave for their new homes. Please note that we sell breeder kittens on a very limited basis, and you will need to answer some questions about yourself and your cattery before Dollcats grants breeding rights on a kitten.
Our Breeders have been carefully bred and selected from both American and European lines. Pedigree can be provided upon request. I will give a discount to those purchasing two cats.
Transportation
We do have kittens all over the country and can transport for a fee. We have a few options outlined below. Usually we ask buyers come pick up their kitten, we will meet someone if we are able to within a reasonable distance for no charge.
Delivery by Car
We kindly ask that you plan to pick up your kitten on their scheduled pick-up day. If you are unable to make it all the way to us, we are happy to help with delivery for an additional fee.
Delivery is $75 per 50 miles of one-way distance from our cattery. For example, if you are located 200 miles away, the delivery fee would be $300. While we understand this may seem a little pricey, please keep in mind that a 200-mile delivery means approximately 400 miles of driving for us round trip, and I may also need to arrange childcare.
I am happy to meet families within a reasonable distance at no additional charge when possible. Please reach out ahead of time and we can discuss what works best!
Delivery by Big Rig (my hubby)
For families outside of North Carolina and South Carolina, we may be able to offer truck transport as a more affordable alternative to flying.
My husband is an owner-operator truck driver and has safely transported many of our kittens in his truck. His cabin is spacious and comfortable, and our kittens travel safely with him throughout the trip.
You must be willing to meet him at a truck-accessible location, typically a truck stop, as close to you as his route allows. Truck transport starts at $200, with the final fee depending on your location, his scheduled route, and how far he may need to travel outside of his normal route to meet you.
Because his routes vary, this option is offered on a case-by-case basis and may not be available for every location or at every time. Please contact us with your location and we can provide a quote.
Delivery by Air
For families who are unable to use our other transportation options, I can personally fly with your kitten or help arrange transport with a trusted pet nanny.
Flight transport starts at $1,000 and may increase depending on your location, current airfare, airline fees, and other travel expenses. Your kitten will travel in-cabin and remain with their transporter throughout the trip.
Because of the cost and additional travel arrangements involved, we generally consider flight transport our last option after pick-up, local delivery, and truck transport have been explored. Please contact us for an individual quote based on your location.
