March 13, 2021
EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 20, 2021, WE HAVE CLOSED OUR PRIORITY WAIT LIST TO NEW FAMILIES AND ARE NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS AT THIS PRESENT TIME. IN SUMMBER 2021, WE WILL OPEN UP OUR PRIORITY WAIT LIST FOR A SHORT PERIOD TO ALLOW A FEW NEW VETTED FAMILIES ON TO IT. KEEP WATCH ON THE AVAILABLE KITTENS PAGE.
Only serious inquiries will be considered ...
Victorian Gardens Cattery is focused on the health and well being of our cats and kittens, and the promotion of the Persian and Himalayan breeds. Our kittens are bred and raised in a loving home environment with very personal attention throughout, and we are dedicated to placing them in forever homes where we will have confidence they will be loved, cared for and can thrive.
Due to the significant amount of time it takes for us to vet a kitten applicant, we recommend the following to ensure acceptance of your Kitten Application:
* Thoroughly review all of the information we have made available on our website, especially with regard to health and nutrition;
* Research Persian and Himalayan Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) at other Catteries, before making your decision to get a kitten from us. We are dedicated to only breeding non-HCM Persian and Himalayan cats;
* Be prepared to describe your life time commitment to providing a forever loving and capable home to your kitten.
We are devoted to placing our kittens in responsible and loving homes. This decision deserves your time and research. After you have done your research and are serious to adopt a kitten from us, we would love to receive your Kitten Application.

Please be advised that we are a very small Cattery. We usually only have from two to five litters a year. We do not know how many babies to expect in each litter nor what their colors, sex, nose type, personality will be. The best indicator is past experience from that particular Dam and Sire. You can look at the Dam's Adopted Kittens pages to get an idea. We never promise a particular color, sex, nose type, pet or show, or personality type in any unborn litter. We let God knit them together in their mother's womb and let Him decide how many babies will be born and what characteristics they may have. We are usually just as surprised as our Priority Wait List parents at what arrives at our Cattery. Yes, we do use statistics in predicting, but it is just a prediction and it can be wrong as we have found out before. Stats are really for the long haul, not just a point in time.
We do have a Priority Wait List established on our upcoming litters. So please note, it is more than likely you will have to wait to receive a special kitten from us. The more flexible you are on the sex, color, nose type, pet or show, and personality, the faster you will be able to receive one of our precious kittens in your arms if your Kitten Application is approved. We are looking for parents who will take the time to come to know us and our Cattery well and build a relationship with us. We are invested in our babies throughout their lifetime and expect our parents to respect this. This is what makes our Cattery unique. So please thoughtfully consider this before sending in a Kitten Application.

Victorian Gardens Cattery has a strict policy not to adopt one of our kittens to a home that has not had its cats and kittens tested for feline diseases such as FELV and FIV, and are vaccinated and up to date on vaccinations. A purebred kitten, even though thoroughly vaccinated, has a weaker immune system than a purebred adult cat. We do not want to put any of our kittens in harms way by adopting it into a home that has unvaccinated or out of date vaccinated pets. We will also not adopt out one of our kittens to a home where there has been a cat or kitten that has Feline Leukemia or who has died of the disease within 12 months of the date of the application. This is to protect our kittens from harm. Please do not submit an application if you have not kept your cats up to date on annual vaccines. We do contact an applicant's past and current Veterinarians as part of our standard vetting process on any of our Kitten Applications, including for kittens and our available adults.
