Devanchire Pricing
We have three different types of quality grading for our kitten's and cat's. I have listed them below.
Pet: These kittens are in perfect health, have great temperaments, and make perfect companions. Pet quality simply means that they do not have all of the characteristics which would qualify them to show in a professional cat show. For instance, the eyes may be almond shaped rather than round, the break over the nose may be very slight, with a longer bridge. The tail or the body and legs might be a little too long to qualify for the show ring. Pets are sold with a neuter/spay agreement, which simply means that the new owner agrees not to use the cat for breeding, and agrees to neuter or spay the cat between the ages of 6 to 8 months. Registration and pedigree are available after proof of neutering is received. The higher the price the higher the quality toward the show standard. Price range: $350.00- $1000.00 US dollars
Breeder: Breeder quality kittens are kittens which demonstrate most of the qualities desired to the breed, but which may or may not qualify in the show ring. If the breeder is of sufficient quality to show, it is called a high breeder. In this case, the cat may earn its champion ribbons. The ears may be a little to high on the head, or the body is slightly elongated, but has a good nose and excellent coat. A female with an elongated body is a good feature in a mother cat, in that she has plenty of room for babies inside. When breeding, one must examine the traits of the sire and the dam to determine a good mix, and then study the results of each breeding to determine whether or not this pair should breed again. The higher the price the higher the quality toward the show standard. Price range: $800.00 & up. US dollars
Show-Top Show: Show quality kittens are distinguished by full expression of the traits of the breed. In particular, for Himalayans and Persians, the breed is characterized by a Cobby body and tail. The tail may reach to the shoulder blade when pulled around the side of the cat. The legs will be short. The eyes are round and color is good. The dome of the forehead is rounded and slopes out from the nose, rounding out in front of the ears. The break in the nose is distinct and deep. The nose is short, being placed optimally between the eyes upon adulthood. The jaw is straight. The ears are placed low on the head, and move farther apart as the head grows. Show quality kittens are priced depending on the age, closeness to the standard, pedigree, and whether the breeder has shown them. Price range: $1500.00 & up. US dollars
Devanchire Cattery has Pet-Breeder-Show Contracts available for review by e-mail or fax. Devanchire has a spay/neuter contract for all kittens sold as pets.
All deposits made to hold a kitten must be no less that $150.00 for pets, and $300.00 -$1000.00 for Breeder and Show kittens. Please note terms of deposits. Any balance owed at time of the pick up of your little bundle must be paid in cash. All monies paid are considered deposit even if it is 150.00 or payment in full. All monies received are considered deposit money . So if you are sending payment in full, make sure you want the kitten/cat because it is not refundable. We DO NOT accept personal checks unless it is provided to Devanchire two weeks prior to picking kitty up. All checks must clear prior to the release of kitty.

If your having your kitty shipped, the additional costs are approx. $350.00 plus depending on destination and weight. Outside the USA may be more: Included in the cost of shipping is: Airfare, approved airline pet carrier, bedding for travel, age appropriate shots and health certificate. So when you write us, tell us which airport (international) is nearest your home. IF shipping outside the USA: There may be a Agriculture Fee plus Consulate Fees (If applicable) Airfare varies depending on the destination.
On occasion, depending on time and circumstance, we may be willing to meet part way to deliver your baby for a small traveling fee. We do not guarantee that we will do this on the sale of every kitten, but if the need should arise, we are more than willing to work with our new kitty owners if possible! If this is something that you would require, please contact us to discuss the details. In order for us to release our kittens/cats you must bring a carrier. We do not allow our cats/kitten's to leave without a proper carrier. This is a safety measure for both you and kitty.
