Question 1

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Keilor, Victoria, Australia, but we also accommodate interstate families.

Question 2

Do you accommodate interstate families?

Accepted Answer

Yes we do! For interstate adoptions, we  can arrange a video call to introduce you to our kittens and show you around our cattery. We also send the kitten pack via mail, so your kitten arrives with everything they need for a smooth transition into your home.

Please note, families are responsible for booking pet travel, and we can recommend trusted pet transport services to assist you.

Question 3

Are you registered or a member to any organisations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are proud members of the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy Victoria Inc (GCCFV).(https://www.catsgccfv.org.au/)
We strictly abide by their Code of Conduct, Constitution, and By-Laws to ensure the highest standards of care and ethical breeding.
As part of our commitment under the GCCFV’s Code of Ethics:
 • All kittens are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped before adoption (unless sold to a registered breeder).
 • Kittens are only adopted after 10 weeks of age, after starting their vaccination program and being microchipped.
 • Our queens are given breaks between litters for their health and are not bred again until their kittens are at least 17 weeks old.
 • No queen has more than 8 litters in her lifetime. She is desexed after and either kept as a pet by us or rehomed.
 • We do not sell kittens through pet shops, markets, or shelters — only directly to carefully screened families.
 • New kitten owners are provided with written information about caring for their kitten, including desexing, parasite control, diet, grooming, and vaccinations.
 • We provide new owners with the kitten's official registration records through GCCFV.
 • We maintain a fair refund policy that complies with consumer law and the GCCFV guidelines.
 • We comply with all relevant animal welfare legislation and are committed to the highest standards of responsible breeding.

Please contact us if you'd like any further information regarding the above.

Question 4

Are you an ethical breeder?

Accepted Answer

At Purrsace, ethical breeding is the foundation of everything we do.

We are registered with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy Victoria (GCCFV) and fully comply with their Code of Conduct, Constitution, and By-Laws.

Our ethical practices include:
 • Health Testing: All breeding cats are DNA tested for hereditary diseases such as HCM and PKD.
 • Limited Breeding: We have minimal litters per year, ensuring every queen has proper rest between litters and no queen has more than eight litters in her lifetime without veterinary approval.
 • Home-Raised Kittens: Kittens are raised in our home, not in cages, with supervised access to an outdoor catio, and daily interaction with humans and our family dog.
 • Early Veterinary Care: Kittens are vaccinated, desexed, microchipped, wormed, and vet-checked before leaving.
 • Lifetime Commitment: We provide ongoing support to our families and have a lifetime return policy for all kittens we breed.
 • Responsible Matching: We carefully screen prospective families to ensure each kitten is placed into a loving, appropriate home environment.
 • Transparency: We offer video calls, visits, and are happy to share veterinary records and registration documents for peace of mind.
We believe ethical breeding is about raising kittens with love, responsibility, and integrity. Always putting their health, wellbeing, and future happiness first.

Question 5

What health testing do you do?

Accepted Answer

Our breeding cats are tested for:
 • HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) via DNA
 • PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) via DNA
We also conduct regular veterinary health checks.

Question 6

How are the kittens raised?

Accepted Answer

All our kittens are raised indoors as part of our family. They have free access to our cat-proofed home, a dedicated kitten nursery room for their safety, and supervised access to a secure outdoor catio for fresh air and enrichment.

They are exposed to normal household sounds (such as vacuuming, televisions, and kitchen noises) and socialise daily with humans through cuddling, play, and gentle handling.

Our French Bulldog, Hela, is also an important part of their socialisation, helping them build confidence around other animals. This nurturing environment ensures your kitten grows up to be a well-adjusted, affectionate, and confident companion.

Question 7

I'm currently browsing a few different Ragdoll breeders — how do you differ from them?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right breeder is an important decision, and we encourage you to take your time.
What sets Purrsace Ragdolls apart is our personalised, boutique approach:
 • Limited, High-Quality Litters:
 We only have a small number of litters per year, allowing us to focus deeply on each kitten’s social, emotional, and physical development.
 • Premium Care:
 Our kittens are raised on a premium raw diet, receive individual daily attention, and are nurtured in a home environment — giving them the best foundation for a healthy, confident life.
 • Focus on Health and Temperament:
 We breed first for health and temperament, not for volume or trend colours.
 Each of our breeding cats undergoes genetic testing and regular veterinary checks.
 • Lifetime Support:
 Adoption with us is the beginning of a lifelong relationship — we offer ongoing guidance and always welcome updates, questions, or support needs, no matter how long after adoption.
 • Transparency and Trust:
 We welcome visits and video calls, and we are happy to share health testing results, veterinary records, and registration certificates.
 • Ethical Integrity:
 We are proud members of the GCCFV and are committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all our practices, from breeding decisions to rehoming policies.

When you choose a Purrsace kitten, you are not just purchasing a pet, you are joining a family that values care, quality, and love above all else.

Question 8

Do you have a waitlist?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We maintain a waitlist for upcoming litters. Please contact us to fill in our kitten adoption form to join our waitlist.

Question 9

What is included with a Purrsace kitten?

Accepted Answer

Each kitten comes:
 • Microchipped
 • Vaccinated X2
 • Desexed
 • Pedigree certificate
 • Parental DNA reports 
 • Purrsace Kitten Care Magazine 
 • Generous kitten pack (including food, toys, blanket with mum & litter's scent)

Question 10

What support do you offer after adoption?

Accepted Answer

Our relationship with you doesn't end at adoption — we offer lifetime support to all our kitten families.

You are welcome to contact us anytime for advice regarding your kitten’s health, behaviour, or general care.
If circumstances change and you can no longer care for your Purrsace kitten, we require that you contact us immediately. We have a lifetime return policy. Under no circumstances should a Purrsace kitten be surrendered to a shelter or sold privately without consulting us first. We are committed to every kitten we bring into the world.

Question 11

Can we visit before adoption or have a video call to meet the kittens?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we encourage all families to visit us in person or arrange a video call before reserving a kitten.
Meeting the kittens beforehand allows you to see their personalities, ask questions, and helps ensure the best match for your family.

We also welcome and encourage further visits as your kitten grows, to help strengthen the bond between you before they join your home.

Question 12

When can your kittens go to their new homes?

Accepted Answer

We believe 10–12 weeks is the optimal window for adoption to support a kitten’s social, emotional, and physical development.
 During this period:
 • Kittens learn essential social skills from their mother and littermates.
 • They begin to form strong, individual bonds with humans.
 • They are healthier, having received their first vaccinations and preventative care.
 • They are ready for desexing, microchipping, and other veterinary procedures. Adopting earlier can hinder their development; this timeframe ensures they are well-adjusted, confident, and ready for their new homes.

Question 13

How much are your kittens? Why are they expensive?

Accepted Answer

Our prices vary depending on coat colour, pattern, rare markings, show quality and lineage. Contact us for specific pricing.
We understand this may seem like a significant investment compared to others, but the difference lies in the level of care, ethics, and quality we uphold:
 • Limited, carefully planned litters:
 We have minimal litters each year to ensure that every queen has adequate rest between litters, preserving her long-term health and ensuring that every kitten receives the best start to life.
 • Exceptional health care and nutrition:
 Our kittens and breeding cats are fed a premium raw diet, supplemented with high-quality nutrition to support optimal growth, development, and coat condition.
 They receive regular veterinary care, are vaccinated, desexed, microchipped, wormed, and are raised in a hygienic, stimulating home environment — not cages.
 • Intensive socialisation and attention:
 Each kitten is raised underfoot in our home and given daily socialisation, enrichment, and individual attention. This ensures they are not only physically healthy but emotionally confident, affectionate, and well-prepared for family life.
 • Genetic and Health Testing:
 All our breeding cats are tested clear for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) by DNA testing, helping ensure the long-term health of your new family member.
 • Lifetime support:
 Our commitment doesn’t end when you take your kitten home. We offer ongoing support to all our families, and should unforeseen circumstances arise, we provide a lifetime return policy.
 • Ethical standards:
 We are proud members of the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy Victoria (GCCFV) and strictly follow their Code of Conduct, ensuring that every aspect of our breeding and adoption process meets the highest ethical standards.

Question 14

What is the personality of the parents like?

Accepted Answer

At Purrsace, we believe temperament is partly inherited, so selecting cats with the right personalities is vital to producing affectionate, gentle kittens.

You can learn more about the personalities of our queens by visiting our "Meet Us"(https://www.purrsace.com/meet-us) page, where we introduce you to each of our beautiful girls.

Information about the sire (dad) of your kitten will be provided to you as well, ensuring you understand both sides of your kitten’s heritage.

Question 15

What's included in your kitten care guide?

Accepted Answer

Every Purrsace family receives a comprehensive kitten care guide that includes:
 • How to help your kitten transition smoothly into their new home
 • Cat-proofing advice to keep your home safe
 • Details of the feeding regime, including raw diet and recommended products
 • Grooming tips and coat care
 • Vaccination schedules and ongoing preventative health care
 • A list of recommended products we personally use and trust
This guide is designed to set you and your new kitten up for a happy, healthy, and stress-free start together.

Question 16

Accepted Answer
