Policy FAQs

Common questions about our policies and procedures

Reservation & Deposit

Are deposits refundable if I change my mind?

Deposits are non-refundable as they reserve your kitten and remove it from our available list. However, if you need to change your timeline, we can transfer your deposit to a future litter within one year. In rare cases where we cannot provide a kitten, your deposit will be fully refunded.

How long is the typical waiting period?

The waiting period varies depending on our breeding schedule and the number of families ahead of you. Typically, the process from application to bringing your kitten home takes 12-16 weeks. We provide regular updates and maintain transparent communication about expected timelines.

Health & Guarantees

What veterinary exams do you perform before sale?

All our kittens receive comprehensive veterinary care including: two rounds of vaccinations, deworming treatments, thorough physical examinations, feline leukemia/FIV testing, and genetic screening where applicable. You'll receive complete health records with your kitten.

What isn't covered by the health guarantee?

Our guarantee doesn't cover common feline illnesses, conditions resulting from accidents or injuries, issues related to improper care or nutrition, or any problems not disclosed by your veterinarian within the examination period. We provide detailed care instructions to help you maintain your Bengal's health.
