Before choosing a kitten, know the essential questions to ask a breeder. If a breeder avoids questions, refuses to provide documentation, or does not show concern for where their kittens are going, consider it a red flag. Take your time, do your research, and choose a breeder who truly cares about their cats!

At PurrfectlyFold, responsible breeding starts with science. All our Scottish Fold breeding cats are DNA tested using the Optimal Selection Wisdom Panel to ensure genetic health, compatibility, and diversity—giving kittens the best start and families peace of mind.

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.

Responsible breeders, like PurrfectlyFold, keep kittens with their mother and littermates until 12–16 weeks to ensure they grow healthy, confident, and well-socialized. This time helps them develop strong immune systems, learn proper behavior, and adjust smoothly to their new homes.

In this post, we explain why the wait is worth it for Scottish Fold and Scottish Straight kittens—and for their future families.

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.

A responsible breeder prioritizes the health, well-being, and future of their kittens. If a breeder avoids questions, refuses to provide documentation, or does not show concern for where their kittens are going, consider it a red flag. Take your time, do your research, and choose a breeder who truly cares about their cats!

Welcome to the breeding hobby! As a Scottish Fold breeder, I’ve learned the importance of ethical practices, health testing, and understanding genetic risks like osteochondrodysplasia. Responsible breeding ensures your cats’ health and happiness, but it requires commitment and care.

Adopting a kitten is exciting, but it’s vital to make informed choices for their health and well-being. Avoid impulse decisions and backyard breeders; take time to understand responsible breeding practices.

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.
