FAQ

If kittens are listed on our site as available for purchase, they have not been chosen or reserved by anyone on the waitlist. You may purchase these kittens by submitting a contract and nonrefundable deposit. All purchase requests are considered in the order they are received.

After submitting the contract and deposit, we will contact you to confirm all details of your purchase and discuss timing for pickup or shipment. If for any reason you change your mind about purchasing, the deposit is nonrefundable but can go towards a different kitten or future litter.

Kittens will be kept with their mother until they are ready to be sent to a new home, usually around 12-16 weeks. Once kittens are weaned, have gotten their first shots, dewormed, litter trained, and certified healthy by a veterinarian, they will be ready to go to your loving home.

When your kitten is ready, we are able to meet you in person in the Portland, Oregon area or plan a shipping process if needed. We are able to deliver kittens for an additional fee (not included in base price). We ‘ship’ our kittens by bringing them in a plane cabin with a nanny instead of shipping via cargo. Domestic shipping starts around $400 depending on location. 

We are able to deliver kittens for an additional fee (not included in base price). We ‘ship’ our kittens by bringing them in a plane cabin with a nanny.

Before birth, we won’t know exactly what specific characteristics each kitten will be, but we will know the expected number of kittens. The kittens available will most likely be of similar colors to the Dam and Sire, and previous kittens. Litters average three to seven kittens. Munchkin characteristics are known upon birth. Scottish fold characteristics are known at 4-5 weeks of age. Eye color is known at 5-9 weeks of age.

Under our standard reservation agreement, breeding rights are NOT included. If you are interested in breeding your kitten, there is an additional fee for breeding rights. By purchasing breeding rights, an owner assumes all liability for the health and welfare of your offspring. As per the adoption contract, verification of having your kitten spayed or neutered must be sent to MiniFolds by seven months of age. Failure to do so will result in an additional charge for breeding rights. If you are interested in purchasing a kitten for breeding, please contact us to discuss.

MiniFolds kittens are free of any and all genetic defects, malformations, and sickness at time of sale. Kittens are veterinarian-verified healthy before release to new owner. We guarantee against genetic malformations for 180 days. New owner has 7 days to take kitten to veterinarian to verify health. If kitten is not verified as healthy, owner has 72 hours to contact miniFolds with a veterinarian note in order to exchange for equal value or return kitten and be added to our waitlist.  If new owner returns a kitten, written reasoning of genetic or permanent health issues must be provided by veterinarian. Failure to have kitten examined within 7 days of receipt will void all health guarantees. If kitten is introduced to other animals before veterinarian health verification, all guarantees are void as MiniFolds is not responsible for transmittable diseases, injury or death caused by other animals or humans of and/or outside of the household of new owner. All sales final 14 days after receipt of kitten.

Upon release at 12-16 weeks of age, as readiness to part from mother will be determined by breeder, kitten will have received initial vaccines, deworming, and veterinary checkups to ensure kitten is healthy and free from genetic defects, malformations and sickness. Individualized vaccine records and schedules will be given to every new owner for their new kitten.

Kittens will have received initial vaccines, but more will be needed as the kitten grows older. Owner agree to complete the vaccination schedule with their veterinarian to receive protection from disease. All guarantees are null and void if vaccinations are not completed by owner.

Owner acknowledges and pledges responsibility of the lifelong care needs of a cat including yearly vaccines, monthly flea and heartworm prevention, and other veterinary care possibly needed throughout cat’s life. Recommendations for all veterinary care will be provided in New Owner Packet.

Kittens do not come spayed or neutered. As per our contract, kittens must be spayed or neutered by seven months of age. Verification must be sent to Minifolds; failure to do so will result in an additional charge for breeding rights regardless of your intention to breed or not. Costs to spay or neuter is full responsibility of owner. Spayed and neutered pets have fewer behavioral and health problems.
