Waitlist & Reservation List
 

These lists reflect families who have completed an application, participated in a phone interview with the Winterfell owner, and placed a waitlist deposit following approval. 

 

Being on the waitlist gives you the opportunity to reserve a kitten once kittens reach approximately 5-7 weeks of age.  Waitlist families receive access to a shared folder where they can follow each kitten’s development for several weeks prior to selection. This allows families to make informed, thoughtful decisions when it is their turn to choose.

​

How Selection Works

• Selection begins at the top of the waitlist for each litter.

• When it is your turn, you will be notified and given 48 hours to select and reserve your kitten.

• If a selection is not made within that timeframe, the opportunity will pass to the next family on the list.

• Upcoming selection order will be posted here in advance, and you will also be contacted directly.

 

Queen Adoption Priority

Families adopting a Queen receive first priority for kitten selection to ensure Queens go home with a companion kitten.  Specialty kittens are excluded from this priority.

​

Annual Pricing Policy

Winterfell Cats conducts a comprehensive pricing review annually to reflect ongoing investments in breeding excellence, veterinary care, genetic health testing, show-quality lineage development, and overall program improvements.

New pricing becomes effective September 1 of each year and applies to all kittens going home on or after that date.

Waitlist placement is secured by deposit date; however, deposits do not lock in pricing. Families will receive kittens at the pricing in effect at the time their kitten is selected and reserved.

 

This policy applies equally to:

• Active waitlist families

• Families in TBD (To Be Determined) Status

Winterfell Cats is committed to transparency and will update pricing publicly prior to the effective date each year.
