Honest guarantees — no loophole promises

We stand behind what's in our control: genetic health, accurate matching, socialization, and real ongoing support.

1 Year

Health Guarantee

Serious congenital or genetic issues within the first year → replacement or full refund, your choice.

What's Covered: Congenital health defects present at birth but not yet visible. Genetic conditions that our parent cats were screened for (PKD, HCM, etc.). Any health issue that a licensed veterinarian determines was pre-existing before adoption.
What this means: If your kitten develops a serious genetic or congenital health condition within the first year that makes them unable to live a normal quality of life, we will replace the kitten or refund your adoption fee (your choice).
What's NOT Covered: Illnesses caused by environmental factors after pickup (URI, parasites picked up elsewhere, injuries). Conditions caused by improper care, diet changes without consultation, or failure to follow our care guidelines. Normal breed characteristics (tear staining, seasonal shedding, etc.).
Why 1 year (not "lifetime"): Most genetic conditions show up within the first 12 months. "Lifetime guarantees" sound good but are often filled with loopholes that make them impossible to claim. We'd rather be honest: one year is the realistic window for congenital issues to appear, and that's what we'll stand behind.
What you need to do: Take your kitten to a licensed vet within 72 hours of pickup for an initial health check. Keep all vaccination and health records. If an issue arises, contact us immediately with vet documentation.
30 Days

Temperament Match

If your kitten's personality is drastically different from what Iryna described, we troubleshoot and make it right.

What's Covered: If your kitten's temperament is drastically different from what Iryna described—and you've followed our introduction and adjustment protocols—we'll work with you to resolve it.
What this means: Iryna matches kittens based on weeks of observation. If she told you the kitten is calm and affectionate, but it turns out to be aggressive or fearful beyond normal adjustment behavior, we'll help troubleshoot. If the issue can't be resolved and is clearly a mismatch, we'll discuss options (including replacement if another kitten is available).
What's NOT Covered: Normal adjustment behavior (hiding for the first few days, being cautious with new people). Behavioral issues caused by improper introduction or household stress. Changes in personality due to major life events (moving, new baby, etc.).
Why 30 days: It takes about a week for a kitten to settle in and show their true personality. By 30 days, you'll know if there's a genuine mismatch versus normal adjustment.
What you need to do: Follow our home preparation guidelines. Give your kitten time to adjust. Stay in communication with Iryna during the first month—she's there to help troubleshoot.
Parents

Genetic Screening

DNA-tested for PKD, PRA and breed-specific conditions. Documentation provided — not just claims.

What's Covered: Every breeding cat is DNA tested for PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease), Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), and other breed-specific genetic conditions.
What this means: We provide documentation showing that your kitten's parents were cleared of these conditions. While no breeder can guarantee a kitten will never develop any health issue (that's not how genetics work), we've done everything possible to reduce hereditary risks.
Why this matters: Many breeders claim their cats are "healthy" without proof. We give you the paperwork.
Day One

Socialization

Raised around children, dogs, other cats and household sounds from birth. Confident from day one, not isolated in a cage.

What's Covered: Every kitten is raised in our home with daily exposure to children, dogs, other cats, and normal household sounds (vacuum, doorbell, TV, etc.).
What this means: Your kitten won't be shocked by normal family life. They've been living in it since birth.
What's NOT Covered: Adjustment period behavior. Even well-socialized kittens may be cautious in a new environment for the first few days. That's normal and expected.
Why this matters: Poorly socialized kittens can take months to adjust—or never fully relax. Ours are confident from day one because they've been prepared for real life, not isolated in a cage.
1 Year+

Ongoing Support

24/7 your first week, guaranteed for a year — most families stay in touch far longer because Iryna genuinely cares.

What's Covered: 24/7 availability during the first week. Ongoing support for the first year for any questions about health, behavior, grooming, feeding, or adjustment. Access to Iryna's expertise as a certified cat behavior consultant (IAABC).
What this means: You're never alone. If you have a question, concern, or just need reassurance, Iryna is there. Most families stay in touch well beyond the first year because she genuinely cares about every kitten she places.
Why this matters: Most breeders disappear after pickup. We don't. Your success is our success.
Always

Transparency

Honest about grooming needs, quirks, and fit. A good match beats a quick sale — every single time.

What's Covered: Honest communication about each kitten's personality, grooming needs, and quirks. Full disclosure of any health concerns or special care requirements. Clear expectations about what Persian ownership actually involves.
What this means: We won't sugarcoat things to make a sale. If a kitten needs more grooming, we'll tell you. If a kitten is more independent than cuddly, we'll tell you. If we don't think we're the right fit for your family, we'll tell you that too.
Why this matters: A good match is better than a quick sale. We'd rather you go into this with realistic expectations and succeed than be disappointed later.

What We DON'T Guarantee (And Why That's Honest):

  • "Lifetime health guarantee" — No responsible breeder can guarantee a living animal will never get sick. We guarantee against genetic/congenital issues within a realistic timeframe.
  • "Perfect" kittens — They're living creatures with personalities. Some are more playful, some are more laid-back. We match intentionally, but they're not robots.
  • Zero grooming — Persians require regular brushing. Even our easiest-coat varieties need maintenance. We'll teach you how, but it's part of the commitment.
  • Instant bonding — Most kittens adjust quickly, but some take a few days to feel comfortable. That's normal. We'll support you through it.

The Bottom Line: Our guarantees are designed to protect you from things within our control—genetic health, accurate temperament matching, proper socialization, and ongoing support. We can't control everything (no one can), but we'll be honest about what's realistic, transparent about what to expect, and there for you when you need help. That's the difference between a breeder who cares and one who just wants to make a sale.
