Paradise Gem Cattery

About Our Scottish Fold Kittens

We are a TICA and CFA registered cattery located on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Kittens and parents are raised in home with love and nurturing care. We believe in a healthy approach so our cats are fed an organic raw meat diet. They have lots of space to run around, play and explore to keep their minds engaged and happy.

Health is priority to us over anything else so we do DNA testing on our breeding cats to examine health genetics and each kitten is tested FIV/FELV/HWT FREE before going to their new home.

Our cats are our family.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a kitten cost?

Our beautiful Scottish Shorthair kittens cost up to $2400. We will discuss cost personally with you. There is a 10% discount when you are wanting to take two kittens home so they have a playmate which is better on their mental health. Current prices are as follows:

$1800 - Half fold

$2100 - Folded or Straight ears

$2500 - Show Quality Cat (straight or folded)

What is the process to reserve a kitten?

First step is to complete the kitten waitlist application. There is NO DEPOSIT to be on the waitlist. Once you select a kitten, you will sign an intent to purchase agreement contract and pay a non-refundable deposit of $500. Thirty days prior to picking up your kitten, the remaining 50% of the kitten cost is due. Then on the day of pick you you will pay the remaining balance.

What options do I have for getting the kitten to me?

Kittens can be shipped in cargo via specific airlines from Hilo, Hawaii. We do prefer that the kittens ride in the cabin of the airplane on the day of delivery with either you or someone escorting them. Depending on location, we can discuss transportation options. You are welcome to meet us and the kitten for pick up.

At what age are kittens available?

Kittens are ready to join you in your home at 12 weeks of age. This gives them the proper amount of time to be nourished and trained by mom. Kittens will have their first required vaccines and be litter trained. Certain kittens we may keep a little longer for showing or arrange with you to have a show kitty!

What are the health guarantees?

Each kitten will come up to date on their vaccines and are tested free of FELV and FIV. Breeding cats have DNA health genetics tests completed showing they are free of all major diseases tested (see our Instagram for test results). Most importantly, we breed our Scottish fold with straight ear cats to be sure they only carry one copy of the fold gene to ensure better health. Kittens will also be de-wormed, treated for fleas and microchipped before leaving the cattery.

Where are you located?

We are located on the beautiful and lush Big Island of Hawaii. We live in the sunbelt just a few blocks from the ocean on the East side of the Island. To fly in and pick up kittens, the closest airport is Hilo. Kona airport is 2 1/2 hours away. Come for a vacation and take home a sweet cuddly kitten!
