Scottish Fold Virginia's breeder cats were sourced from trusted breeders worldwide. We specifically scrutinized bloodlines, physical characteristics, and personality traits, obtained consultations, and evaluated medical records before making our selections. We remain committed to a healthy legacy for our bloodlines. For this reason, we tested all of our queens and sires for various genetic diseases and other genetic factors. (Please see the link to our FAQs Page for the entire list.) We also continue to monitor the health of the breeding cats' parentage. This is important when considering the overall suitability for breeding healthy kittens.
Our cats were registered with CFA and/or TICA and represent renowned bloodlines, with many champions within the last seven generations. We registered our Cattery with TICA and CFA to facilitate the online registration of kittens and litters for the convenience of our new pet families.
We provide the best available nutrition (custom and premium-plus foods and treats), love, and care in the home for proper socialization from birth. Once old enough, each cat is combed every day, teeth brushed every other day (at least), and is used to having their ears checked and cleaned, chins examined, etc., while lying on our laps. Everybody enjoys time on cat furniture, receives lots of affection, and has multiple interactive games and a family to interact with throughout the day.
Our residents are examined by licensed veterinarians who test for genetic disorders and general health indicators before entering our home. Each kitten, once born, receives all the initial inoculations required by local law before they goes to their adoptive family. We may register our litters online with both CFA and TICA. In addition, we can assist with special arrangements such as preparation for international travel, obtaining cat passports (yes, that exists), additional inoculations, and official health records and certifications.
The results of tests and the medical history (and perhaps a photo collection!) are provided to new owners to assure adoptive families of the best early-life care. In addition, we include all information about the specific kitten, as well as details on their bloodline, rarity, and diet. Finally, each kitten's adoptive family may arrange for video visits before the kitten is ready to be released.
