Each kitten is TICA registered, receives age-appropriate FVRCP vaccinations, routine deworming, a full veterinary health exam, microchipping, and is spayed or neutered before going home.

All PurrfectlyFold kittens come with the following health guarantees:

Our Scottish Fold and Scottish Straight kittens are available in a variety of beautiful colors, patterns, and coat lengths, including both short-haired and long-haired varieties. Patterns may include classic and spotted tabby, golden shaded, bicolor, and color-point variations. Availability changes with each litter, and every kitten is uniquely marked and carefully raised to reflect the breed’s gentle personality and natural beauty.

Yes. All kittens are spayed or neutered before adoption, as part of our commitment to responsible breeding.

PurrfectlyFold kittens go home at approximately 13-14 weeks of age, in accordance with the TICA Code of Ethics, after spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, and proper socialization. This timing supports full development and helps ensure a healthy, confident, well-adjusted kitten.

To protect our kittens’ health and maintain a calm environment, all visits are video appointments only.

While your kitten is with us, you’ll receive regular updates, including photos and developmental information. You can also follow me on my Facebook page, Instagram , YouTube, or TikTok to see your kitten grow and share in their journey!

Yes.

A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a kitten. It is applied toward the final adoption price. If we are unable to provide the kitten, the deposit is 100% refundable.

Pickup details are discussed with the breeder closer to your kitten’s go-home date.

Yes. We can arrange delivery with a flight nanny.

A flight nanny is a trained person who flies with your kitten in the airplane cabin, keeps them safe, and takes care of them the whole way. Your kitten is never put in cargo and stays with the nanny at all times.

Delivery details and cost are discussed after your application is approved.

A written adoption contract is required for all kittens. You are welcome to review the contract before placing a deposit. The agreement outlines health guarantees, care expectations, return-to-breeder policy, and the responsibilities of both the breeder and the buyer.

All PurrfectlyFold kittens must be kept indoors only. Outdoor access significantly increases the risk of injury, disease, and premature death and voids portions of the health guarantee.

Before your kitten goes home, we’ll share helpful resources, including our blog on getting your home kitten-ready.

If you are ever unable to keep your kitten, you must contact PurrfectlyFold before attempting to rehome or surrender the cat. Returns to the breeder may be considered at our discretion, but are not guaranteed, and no refunds will be issued. Owners are fully responsible for all care, including veterinary treatment, food, and transport, unless otherwise agreed in writing. We strongly encourage families to have pet insurance or adequate financial resources to ensure lifelong care. Alternative rehoming arrangements may be approved by the breeder if a return is not feasible, to ensure the kitten’s safety and well-being.

We strongly encourage all kitten families to consider pet insurance or financial preparedness to help cover routine care and unexpected veterinary costs. Reputable providers such as ASPCA Pet Insurance, Pets Best, Trupanion, and multiple other insurances offer coverage for cats, and comparison resources like ConsumerRating.org can help you evaluate plans. Choosing the right insurance ensures your kitten receives the best possible care throughout their life.

All PurrfectlyFold kittens are hand-raised in our home and exposed daily to normal household sounds, people, and gentle handling. This early socialization helps kittens develop confidence, affectionate temperaments, and strong adaptability, ensuring they transition smoothly into their new homes.
