Adoption Process Explained: Bringing Home Your Best British Shorthair & Longhair Kitten

---

1. Two Adoption Options: Available Kittens or Waitlist Program

Whether you’re ready now or planning ahead, we offer two pathways:

• Available Kittens: Our current litters that are ready or nearing readiness. LuxeYolk Cattery

• Waitlist Program: For those seeking a specific color, gender, coat length or lineage. LuxeYolk Cattery

2. Available Kittens Path

If you see a kitten or litter you’re interested in:

• Browse the photos, temperament notes, health status.

• Contact us to express interest early (even if kitten is still growing).

• Reserve your kitten with a signed contract and a 50% deposit.

• If the kitten hasn’t yet been spayed/neutered, we arrange surgery and notify you; the balance payment is due on the day of surgery.

• Once surgery (if applicable), vaccinations, recovery and health checks are complete, the kitten comes home with you.

• Note: Pricing is determined around 6 weeks old based on face shape, eye set, coat density, structure and overall quality—color, gender and coat length do not affect the price.

3. Waitlist Program Path

For those with specific preferences (e.g., color, lineage):

• Submit a $500 deposit to join the waitlist.

• Once kittens reach 5–6 weeks, price is finalized.

• You select your kitten in the order of the waitlist.

• Pay 50% of total price as reservation deposit. Decide on spay/neuter arrangement (either through us or your vet with deposit).

• Once surgery/recovery/vaccinations are done, kitten goes to your home.

• Importantly: Waitlist deposits are valid for 12 months, and if you don’t find a match within that period, the deposit is fully refundable.

4. What You’re Getting: Our Promise to You

When you adopt a kitten from LuxeYolk, you’re not just buying any kitten—you’re acquiring a well‑raised, show‑quality companion from ethical, health‑tested lines. Highlights include:

• Show‑quality European bloodlines (e.g., Galeksy, Lemurcat, Viva Vogue) from breeding cats selected for health, temperament and elegance.

• A kitten raised in a family home environment—with daily socialization, gentle handling, and care so that they grow up confident and comfortable.

• Transparent, fair pricing that reflects important structural qualities (face shape, coat density, etc.), not just colour or coat length.

5. Preparing for Your Kitten’s Arrival

To make the transition smooth:

• We’ll provide all relevant health records, vaccination status, de‑worming details and a starter kit.

• If you opted for spay/neuter via us, we’ll handle it; if you’re doing it yourself, we’ll guide you and manage the deposit refund process.

• We’ll support you post‑adoption with guidance, health advice and tips to help your kitten settle in happily and confidently.
