The price for cats is the total one and includes all vaccinations and neutering/spaying. (Neutering a kitten is our free option with no fee.)

It is generally considered safe to spay kittens before they are fully grown. In fact, many veterinarians recommend spaying or neutering kittens as early as 8-16 weeks old. This is known as early-age spay/neuter or pediatric spay/neuter.

Early spaying has several benefits:

  • Reduced risk of certain health issues: Spaying\Neutering a kitten before it first heat cycle can significantly reduce the risk of mammary cancer and eliminates the risk of uterine infections and other reproductive system diseases.
  • Easier recovery: Younger kittens tend to recover faster from surgery with fewer complications.
  • Population control: Spaying\Neutering a kitten before it reaches sexual maturity helps prevent unwanted litters and contributes to reducing the population of homeless cats.
  • Behavioral benefits: Spaying can help prevent behaviors associated with a cat’s heat cycle, such as excessive vocalization, marking, and escaping from the home.

However, it is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the best time to spay a kitten based on it individual health, breed, and circumstances.  We will definitely do this if the age and health conditions of a kitten allow occurring the surgery before being shipped. We will not neuter/spay the kitten in the cases if a buyer will ask to neuter a kitten on its own or will buy the breeding rights for an additional cost with the kitten)

Declawing a cat might seem like a quick solution to prevent scratching, but it is a deeply harmful and inhumane practice. This procedure involves amputating the last bone of each toe, equivalent to cutting off a human finger at the last knuckle. The surgery is painful and can lead to long-term physical and emotional issues for cats.

First and foremost, declawing causes severe pain, both immediately and in the long term. Many cats develop chronic pain or nerve damage, which can make walking, jumping, or even standing difficult. Without their claws, cats lose an essential tool for balance, climbing, and self-defense.

The psychological impact is just as troubling. Declawed cats often exhibit behavioral changes like increased aggression and biting, as they feel defenseless without their claws. Many also develop litter box problems because digging in litter can become too painful for their sensitive paws.

Declawing is banned in many countries and states because it is seen as cruel and unnecessary. There are far better alternatives, like regular nail trimming, providing scratching posts, or using nail caps, which allow cats to live pain-free and engage in their natural behaviors.

Ultimately, declawing is a quick fix that results in long-lasting harm. It is a practice that prioritizes convenience over the well-being of the animal, making it both inhumane and unnecessary. Cats deserve to live full, healthy lives without enduring the trauma of declawing.

Just received our little Scottish Straight Kitten and he is the sweetest and most affectionate little boy I’ve ever met. I was worried how he would handle the travel and also there are many horror stories of pets from abroad, but the vet said he was very healthy. The people at Meowoff were very communicative and the process was very smooth! Thank you!

I recently purchased my 2nd Devon Rex from MeoWoff. I had a much better experience with these folks than I did from a local breeder. Their process is very direct and they deliver as promised. No BS and fair pricing. I was disappointed with breeders that asked for non refundable deposits with no assurance that I would receive a kitten within a year or even longer in some cases. They also seemed to treat the process like they were doing me the favor just keeping me on a paid waiting list. With MeoWoff, I received a very healthy and very loving Devon Rex that I chose and within a month of making my deposit (I picked a kitten that was 16 weeks old already). He had all necessary vaccines, was microchipped and neutered. I took him to my vet upon arrival and he is in great health. I’m very happy and my other Devon just adores him. Happy customer!
