About Hollyvale

How it all began

So you may be wondering, how on earth did we get started? Well, one day my husband told me he wanted a bobcat. Having worked with many exotics and even interned at a small zoo, I could confidently tell him that he did NOT want a bobcat. At least not one that lived in the house. Exotic cats are wonderful, but they come with a host of challenges. Challenges that a family with several small children and a busy lifestyle might find very difficult to meet. What you want, i told him, is something that LOOKS like a bobcat. With that goal in mind, I was originally interested in the Pixie bob breed, but going down that rabbit hole of research led me to discovering the Highlanders. 


I decided to take a chance. 


I'm incredibly happy that I did. 


The rest, as they say...is history!

The Nitty Gritty

Alright, let's get down to business. 


While I dearly wish that I could just give these guys away...I am definitely not rich enough to do so. Our adorable kitties eat an extremely high quality diet and run through a good 15lbs of litter a day, and that's not cheap...so we gotta talk pricing.


My kittens' prices vary based on a few factors, but the biggest one is whether or not they are Standard or Non-standard. 


A "Standard" Highlander meets the breed standard. It has all of the fun attributes that make Highlanders so unique. These kittens will have a naturally short tail between 2inches and hock length, normal paws, and curled ears. Some may have curly fur, and others will not. I have been encouraged to show my curlies and consider them to be standard at this time.


Non-standard kittens may have long tails, white markings, or polydactyl paws. 


Standard kittens are: $1000 altered, or $2000 intact


Non-standard kittens are: $600 to $800 altered or $1000 to $1800 intact, depending on how many traits they are lacking to be considered standard. Some may not be available intact due to having undesirable traits for breeding.


ALL kittens sold as altered will be spayed or neutered prior leaving my cattery. Intact kittens may be picked up at 12 weeks old minimum(some exceptions may be made for those traveling and needing specific travel dates, but no kitten may be picked up before 8 weeks), and I reserve the right to keep them longer if I feel they need extra time. 


Altered kittens will undergo surgery between 12 and 15 weeks old depending on their weight, and may be picked up the following week provided they are healing well. This may seem like a long time to wait, but I feel much more comfortable having their surgeries done at a facility I trust, and the weight limit at the one I use is three pounds.

Additional Health and General practices Information

-Currently, I use cat scan DNA or Optimal selection(wisdom panel) to genetically health test my breeding cats. Results of these tests are available to kitten buyers upon request. 

-All vaccines aside from rabies are currently done in-house. They are bulk-ordered from a veterinary supply and shipped overnight in proper conditions. We currently vaccinate for FVCRP and Feline Bordatella Brasiceptica via intranasal vaccine. 

-kittens may optionally come with a dose of Selepro or nexguard combo flea prevention.

-We currently feed Diamond Natural Active cat Dry Food and Nulo or Daves brand wet food. Weaning kittens are supplemented with Fox Valley day one kitten formula. 


Payment plans:


Payment plans are available, however they must be completed within a timely manner. 


I require a $400 deposit to hold a kitten. I am willing to be flexible on additional payment timelines, but there will be a firm pay-by date negotiated with each individual buyer. Barring extreme circumstances, any kittens not paid for by the negotiated date will be refunded and placed back on the market, sans deposit fee.


Kittens must be paid in full before pickup. No exceptions. 


Guardian Homes: I have a limited guardian home program for those who are interested in owning an intact show cat and are willing to actively show them. There is still an adoption fee for these kittens, but it is reduced. The kitten will be under co-ownership with TICA. Applicants for this program are to be considered on an individual basis.
