Green Bell Cattery – Adoption & Delivery Policy

At Green Bell Cattery, we are deeply passionate about raising and placing healthy, socialized, and affectionate kittens into loving homes. With over 15 years of breeding experience, we are committed to ensuring that every kitten not only fits beautifully into your family but also thrives in their forever home. This adoption policy outlines each step of the process, from your first inquiry to the moment your new companion joins your home. Your kitten’s well-being and your satisfaction remain our highest priorities.

1. Your Adoption Journey Begins

Application Process

Start by completing our online adoption application. This helps us learn about your lifestyle, preferences, and expectations so we can recommend the most suitable kittens for your home.

Matching You With the Right Kitten

After your application is reviewed and approved, we’ll introduce you to kittens that best match your criteria. You’re encouraged to schedule a video call or, if possible, an in-person visit to get to know your potential companion and ask any questions.

Selecting the Perfect Kitten

Every kitten is unique. While we do our best to accommodate specific requests regarding color, coat type, or personality, availability can vary. If the kitten you’ve selected isn’t the ideal fit, your deposit may be transferred to a future litter.

Reservation Deposit

A $600 nonrefundable deposit is required to reserve your chosen kitten. This deposit confirms your commitment and allows us to hold and prepare your kitten for adoption.

Adoption Contract & Final Payment

Before pickup or delivery, we’ll send you a detailed adoption agreement that outlines health guarantees, care instructions, and expectations. Final payment is due one week prior to delivery or pickup. Payments are accepted in USD only.

2. Bringing Your Kitten Home

When Your Kitten is Ready

Our kittens are typically ready to go to their forever homes at 11 weeks of age or older, once they are fully weaned, vaccinated, and emotionally ready for the transition.

Pickup & Delivery Options

We offer both pickup and delivery services based on your location and preference.

Local Pickup & Delivery

We provide local delivery or arrange meetups at a mutually agreed-upon location. Delivery fees typically range from $200 to $300, depending on distance.

Nationwide Shipping (U.S. & Canada)

We offer safe, reliable shipping across the United States and Canada using trusted pet carriers. Shipping fees generally range from $400 to $800, depending on location and transportation logistics. Final pricing will be confirmed after reviewing your application.

Weather Restrictions

To protect your kitten’s safety, we do not ship during extreme temperatures (below 25°F or above 85°F). We’ll communicate promptly if weather conditions cause any delays.

Tracking & Confirmation

Once your kitten is en route, you’ll receive a tracking number and delivery confirmation to keep you informed every step of the way.

International Adoptions

For international adopters, please contact us first to discuss your country’s import regulations. We’ll assist in determining the safest and most compliant path forward.

3. Health & Wellness Guarantee

Veterinary Health Screenings

Every kitten at Green Bell Cattery undergoes comprehensive veterinary examinations, breed-specific health checks, and vaccinations appropriate for their age. Our breeding cats are tested for major genetic and infectious conditions to ensure optimal health in their litters.

1-Year Health Guarantee

We provide a written one-year health guarantee covering congenital and hereditary conditions diagnosed within the first year of ownership. This reflects our confidence in the quality and care behind every kitten we raise.

4. Adoption Agreement

Before your kitten goes home, you’ll receive a legally binding adoption contract to sign. This agreement outlines both our responsibilities and yours to ensure your kitten receives the care, love, and lifelong support they deserve.
