FAQ’s

If we organize the delivery for you, an invoice will be sent for the rest amount via email. You can pay online by credit card. The payment has to be completed no later than 2 days before the delivery date.

​If you come to pick up the pet yourself, you pay the rest on the spot on the pickup date.

We note the approximate arrival date, as Each kitten goes through a series of preparations before being ready to fly . This is a standard regular process such as vaccination and post-vaccination quarantine. All these reasons affect the date of the delivery. As soon as the kitten is ready to travel, the kitten will typically ship within 18-40 days from the date of purchase. The final decision on the date of delivery of the kitten will be made by the seller with the recommendation of a veterinarian. Delivery is carried out through third parties (freight brokers, state veterinarians, and airlines).

Sometimes there may be a delay for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, weather conditions, logistics, mechanical failures of ground or air transport, or other unforeseen events. The seller is not liable, directly or indirectly, for any delays, including, without any restrictions, those that may cause the Buyer inconvenience or any financial loss or a reason to cancel the purchase of the kitten.

We work with breeders from Europe. Every kitten has to get at least 2 PCH and rabies vaccines before it comes to the USA. We bring kittens to the USA after they are 16 weeks old.

If your kitten is already 16 weeks old, necessary pick up or shipping arrangements can be made. Usually, it takes about 3-4 weeks after you have made the order and paid the deposit. But right now the time frame will be a bit longer…

Unfortunately, we don’t keep all kittens at our place in Illinois. We bring them here only after reservation. Before we bring the kittens to Illinois, they have to get 2 PCH and rabies vaccines and be at least 16 weeks old.

You can request more information about each kitten, their photos and videos, photos of their parents, and even information about their identity. For this contact us via email on the website or send an email request to info@meowoff.us

Pet cargo shipping costs $550 regardless of the location. The kitten flies alone in a carrier box. All types of cats can be shipped EXCEPT Exotic Shorthair, Persian, and Burmese.

No, we are not breeders. We are an online store that works with breeders from Europe.

There are two options.
1. You have to but the breeding rights from the breeder. The rights are usually around 1000$. (Need to clarify with the breeder). It allows you to breed a kitten for selling or just for yourself.
2.The second option you will neuter/spay a kitten by yourself later and send us documents of a successful operation. Also, we strongly recommend neutering /spaying a kitten at an early age, as it positively affects its health. Prolongs it’s life and prevents many diseases also like cancer. We invite you to familiarize yourself with some information concerning neutering/spayin on our page FAQ and hope you will find it useful and helpful.

Unfortunately, deposits are not transferable for other kittens, except the one you have chosen. The reason is that upon request, a deposit is paid to the breeder in order to keep the kitten for you. Arrangements and exceptions can be made ONLY if both the originally chosen kitten and the newly desired one are at the same breeder, AND if the kitten is still not spayed, and the purebred certificate has not been issued under your name.

Different kitties are coming from different clubs (WCF/CFA/FIFE/TICA), so it does take a little time to have them shipped to us and we can get them promptly to you. Some our breeders takes additional fee for pedigree papers ( 50-100$). That`s why most of our breeders provided birth certificate from the cattery, and will make pedigree paper upon your request.
Please note* The kitten is being sold as a companion animal and not for commercial breeding purposes unless you purchased a kitten pedigree. Seller reserves the right to withhold the kitten’s pedigree until the buyer presents a vet’s letter stating that the kitten underwent spay/neuter surgery.

We accept deposits via Stripe. The rest of the payment should be made via our website,  cash, Venmo, or Zelle upon picking up the kitten.

For kittens, it’s important to choose a litter that is safe, non-toxic, and gentle on their paws. Here are some options:

• Non-Clumping Litter: This is usually recommended for very young kittens (under 8 weeks), as they may ingest the litter while exploring. Non-clumping clay or paper-based litters are good choices.
• Paper-based Litter: Made from recycled paper, it’s soft, dust-free, and less likely to cause digestive issues if ingested. It’s also eco-friendly.
• Wood or Pine Litter: Natural and biodegradable, wood pellets or pine litter is another safe option for kittens. It is absorbent and has a natural odor control. (Best in Wood cat litter is Okocat)
• Corn or Tofu cat litter: These natural litters are soft, safe for kittens, and biodegradable. They offer good odor control and clumping properties for when kittens are a bit older.

Different breeders feed their cat’s different types of brand food.

We try to find the best and universal types of food but still offer plenty of variety because every kitten prefers something special.

If you’re asking yourself which food is truly the best, it shows how much you care about your kitten’s well-being. While there are countless commercial options available, none can truly compare to the natural, raw meat that cats instinctively crave in the wild. If you’re able to dedicate time to preparing raw meat with vegetables for your kitten, that’s fantastic! There’s a wealth of information and a supportive community ready to help you along the way.

Or you always can order fresh meat mix from such famous brands as https://www.darwinspet.com/cat-food/.  https://rebelraw.com/collections/cat-food. https://vivarawpets.com/collections/for-cats.     For the best of both worlds, we always recommend a balanced diet that combines high-quality dry food with raw meat. And when searching for the top food options, we trust the independent site https://catfooddb.com/ to guide us.

As soon as you’ve finally brought your kitten home, we recommend starting with Purina Pro Plan Kitten. During this period, you can also boil chicken breast with rice. However, after two weeks of settling into their new home, you can transition your kitten to premium foods with higher meat content, such as Orijen, Acana, or Tiki Cat.   

And once your kitten has fully adapted, we strongly recommend avoiding in the future brands such as Iamis, fancy feast, purina, Royal canin

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.
