Kitten Reservation Process
There are two ways to adopt a Winterfell Siberian kitten:
​
​1) Reserve an Available kitten
Occasionally a kitten is currently available due to the Waitlist passing, you may submit an application to reserve that specific kitten. ​
​
2. Join the Waitlist
If no available kittens meet your needs, you may join our waitlist for priority selection from future litters.

Kitten Selection & Reservations:
-
When it is your turn to select a kitten, you will be contacted and given the opportunity to reserve your kitten.
-
A $600 non-refundable reservation deposit is required to reserve your selected kitten.
-
If your selected kitten has a premium price (such as a Smoke), the premium amount is also due at the time of reservation.
-
Families who joined the waitlist before July 11, 2026, paid the previous $100 waitlist fee. Their reservation deposit will therefore be $700 instead of $600 so that all families have the same remaining balance due at pickup.
-
Your reservation deposit and any premium payment will be applied toward the purchase price of your kitten.
-
Kitten selection typically occurs when our kittens are approximately 5 weeks of age.
-
Families are invited to select their kittens in the order they joined the waitlist.
-
If a family does not respond within 2 days of being contacted, the opportunity to select a kitten will be offered to the next family on the waitlist.
-
If you choose to pass on a litter and wait for the next one, you will maintain your place on the waitlist.

​
Kitten Exclusions:
-
Occasionally, some kittens may be excluded from the selection process as they are being observed or chosen as future Sires or Queens.
-
In some cases there may be an extremely bonded kitten pair in these cases WinterfellCats can offer the kittens as a pair to people on the waitlist to go as a pair to people on the waitlist during their turn even if they have not paid a 2nd deposit fee per for a 2nd kitten.
-
If a Queen is being retired then her family may have first pick of her last litter to keep the mother with the most compatible kitten.
​​
Kittens Registration
-
Kittens ownership can be transferred to new owners TICA account for a $60 fee to cover TICA costs. after kittens are spayed / neutered only.
​​​
Home Visits:
-
To protect the health and safety of our kittens, we do not allow visits to our home or cattery, especially while we have unvaccinated litters.
-
We also do not offer visits for allergy testing. If you're concerned about allergies, we recommend seeing an allergist. Testing with unneutered breeding cats may not reflect typical reactions to a sterilized kitten.
Thank you for understanding and helping us keep our kittens safe!
