Bringing a kitten into your home is a delightful and rewarding experience. However, it also comes with a range of financial responsibilities. Understanding the annual costs of owning a kitten helps ensure you're prepared for the commitment of caring for your new furry friend. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the expenses you can expect.

At PurrfectlyFold, every product we recommend is something we’ve personally tested in our cattery. Scottish Folds have specific needs, so choosing high-quality supplies—like stainless steel fountains for hydration and tofu litter for low dust and odor—helps create a clean, stress-free environment. These trusted items support healthy development and make your kitten’s transition into their new home smooth and comfortable.

Scottish Folds are intelligent, playful, and endlessly curious. They love to climb, jump, and explore every corner — which makes home safety preparation essential before your new kitten arrives.

Here’s an expert guide to help you kitten-proof your home and keep your Scottish Fold safe.

Bringing a Scottish Fold kitten home is exciting, but adaptation is critical for their health. Expert breeder tips: provide a safe space, avoid sudden food changes, reduce stress, and follow a consistent routine. A calm transition supports immunity, prevents stress-related illnesses, and helps your kitten grow into a confident, happy companion.

Declawing may sound like a simple nail trim, but it's actually a surgical amputation. In this procedure, the last bone of each toe is removed, which is equivalent to cutting off a human fingertip at the last knuckle.

Veterinarians call this surgery an onychectomy, and many no longer perform it due to the severe physical and behavioral effects it can cause.

Ever wonder why Scottish Fold kittens from ethical breeders cost more? 🐾 It’s not just about looks or pedigree—it’s about everything that goes into raising a healthy, happy kitten. Ethical breeders invest in DNA testing, vaccinations, early spay/neuter, and round-the-clock care to prevent health issues like osteochondrodysplasia. They also spend hours every day socializing kittens so they grow into confident, loving companions. The price reflects the quality of care—not just today, but for your kitten’s entire life.

At PurrfectlyFold Scottish Fold Cattery, we pour our hearts into raising healthy, well-socialized kittens. But behind the fluffy photos and sweet updates, there are moments of real challenge—especially when a mother cat (queen) isn’t able to nurse her kittens.

This is the story of what happens when a queen with blood type B gives birth and doesn’t produce enough milk. It’s a reality breeders rarely talk about, but it’s part of the commitment we make to each kitten’s life.

There’s a long-standing myth that a female cat should have “one litter first” before she’s spayed.
This is not only unnecessary — it can be dangerous.
The safest, healthiest choice for your female cat is to spay her before her first heat cycle.

Raising a kitten is a full-time commitment, and at PurrfectlyFold Cattery, it’s a 24-hour, no-break labor of love. From the moment our kittens are born, they are cared for around the clock. If a kitten struggles to eat, I wake up through the night to ensure they are fed and stay nourished. Every detail of their care is meticulously managed to give them the best possible start in life.
