Kittens!

Paradise Gem Cattery

About Our Scottish Fold Kittens

Kittens are ready to be adopted around 14-16 weeks old. Live updates are published on Instagram and Facebook stories @hawaiiscottishfolds

Check our highlight bubble for available kittens.

To reserve a kitten, complete the FREE kitten waitlist application and then connect with us on social media to tell us more about you.

Those on the waitlist will get first pick of the litter!

Once a kitten has been selected, you will then complete a kitten contract and submit a non-refundable $500 deposit that will go toward the total cost of the kitten.

We are always wanting families who would be interested in having a show kitty and joining us at the CFA cat shows in Honolulu. Let us know on the application and we can reserve a show kitty for you!

about Kittens

Socialization & Diet

Our kittens are socialized in our home with other cats and dogs. We take them in car rides to get them accustomed to movement and to be good adventure cats! We also bring them around other kids so they can get used to be held and played with.

Kittens are fed as long as they can with mothers milk to build a solid immune system. We introduce raw cat food and some dry food to adjust their diet to be ready for their new homes!

Health

Kittens are up to date on their vaccines before leaving to their new homes and tested FIV/FELV/ negative.

It is also important to note that because of the stress of transition, some kittens may get a cold or could have diarrhea. This can be normal however we recommend you get established with your new kitty at a vet within the first week and discuss any health concerns with them to ensure proper medial care needs are addressed.

Cost

We breed with high quality British & Scottish lines. Coats are soft, silky and dense, eyes & head are big and round with a chonky body.

Once a British is crossed with a Scottish it either becomes a fold or a straight ear Scottish.

Current prices are as follows:

$1800 - One ear fold

$2000 - Folded or Straight ears

$2400 - 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!
