WAITING LIST
If you are interested in one of our future kittens, you are welcome to submit our kitten questionnaire below. We carefully review each application to make sure our kittens are matched with loving and suitable families. Approved families will then be invited to sign up for our waiting list. Our upcoming breeding plans and expected litters are also featured below for your reference. Thank you for your interest in Arctic Cattery and for taking the time to learn more about our kittens and waiting list process!
Waiting List Policy
Joining the Waiting List Once your application is approved, you will be contacted with the next steps for joining our waiting list. A $100 non-refundable waitlist deposit is required to secure your spot. The full $100 will be applied toward the final price of your kitten. Our waiting list is based on both waitlist order and each family’s preferences, including color, gender, coat length, temperament, and preferred timing.
Kitten Pricing Prices of our kittens for pets are generally in the range of $2,000–$3,500. (Exception: Lilac Golden kittens are generally $3,500+.) Kittens/Cats for breeding are $5,000+. More details about pricing can be found under “About Us.” We set our prices based on the colors and individual characteristics of our kittens, as well as the cost of raising and caring for them. Our prices are carefully set and remain firm.
Kitten Selection Kittens are generally available for selection at around 4–5 weeks of age. Families are contacted based on their waitlist order and preferences. Once contacted, we kindly ask families to make their selection within one week so we can continue with the next families on the list. If you choose not to select a kitten from the current litter, your spot will move forward to the next available litter. If you need to pause for personal reasons, your waitlist deposit will not expire and your spot will remain on file until you are ready.
Reserving Your Kitten Once you select your kitten, we will send you our official Kitten Purchase Contract. A total $500 non-refundable reservation deposit is required to reserve the kitten. Since your $100 waitlist deposit has already been applied, an additional $400 will be due at that time. The remaining balance is due when you receive your kitten.

About Timing & Availability
Please keep in mind that breeding and kitten timelines are naturally flexible. We will always do our best to provide an estimated waiting time based on our current breeding plans and your preferences. However, these timelines may change, as breeding can involve unexpected circumstances such as an unsuccessful pregnancy, a smaller litter than expected, or complications during pregnancy or delivery. If your estimated timeline changes, we truly appreciate your patience and understanding.
A cat’s pregnancy is approximately 62–65 days, and kittens generally go to their new homes at around 9–12 weeks of age, depending on your preferred pickup timing. We cannot guarantee that a matching kitten will be available by a very specific deadline. If you need a kitten by a specific date and are not able to be flexible with the timing, the waiting list may not be the best option for you. Instead, you are welcome to stay on our notification list. No deposit is required, and we can contact you if a suitable kitten becomes available after our waitlist families have completed their selections. Because each family is looking for something different, we do occasionally have kittens become available even when a litter initially has families waiting.
A Note About Our Waitlist Deposit
We understand that there are many scams online, especially when it comes to purchasing pets. For this reason, we intentionally keep our waitlist deposit at only $100, rather than requiring a large payment before a kitten is selected. The $100 waitlist deposit is for reserving your spot on our waiting list and does not reserve a specific kitten or litter before a kitten is officially selected. We encourage you to take your time, ask questions, review our website and social media, and make sure you are comfortable with our waitlist terms before joining. For transparency, all of our previous litters and past pairings are publicly documented on our website and available for families to review at any time. Because we accept only a limited number of waitlist families, the $100 waitlist deposit is non-refundable once your spot is secured.
We don’t mind if you join the waiting list early simply to hold your place while you are still deciding. However, please do not join the waiting list if you are not comfortable with the deposit being non-refundable. Once your spot is secured, a change of mind or personal circumstances will not qualify for a refund. If you prefer not to make a non-refundable commitment yet, we recommend staying on our notification list instead. You are always welcome to join the official waiting list later when you feel ready.
A Note About Communication
We do our best to stay in touch with all of our families, but please keep in mind that we might not always be active on our phones or social media every day. Most of our time and attention goes toward caring for our cats and kittens, and we may be especially busy when a queen is close to delivery or when we have newborn kittens to care for. Because of this, our replies may occasionally take a little longer. If our reply is delayed, please don’t worry — we may simply be busy or away from our phones for a little while, and we will get back to you as soon as we can. When a kitten first goes home, we make an extra effort to stay closely available during the initial adjustment period, and we continue to provide lifetime support and guidance for all of our kitten families.
