Responsible USA Himalayan Catteries
If you have decided that a purebred Himalayan kitten is the
purr-fect match for you, it's of utmost importance that you
acquire your kitten from a reputable US Himalayan breeder. Just
as dogs and puppies are exploited by puppy mills, backyard breeders
and pet stores in the US - so are purebred cats and kittens.
Purchasing a Himalayan kitten from any source other than a responsible
breeder can be a one-way ticket to heartbreak, since kittens
from these sources can have a shopping list of health and behavior
problems.
What should I look for in a responsible Himalayan cat breeder?
1. Knowledge -
A responsible Himalayan cat breeder will be very well educated
about the breed, and health and temperament of her cats and
kittens.
2. Care
- A responsible Himalayan cat breeder is caring. Her cats and kittens
are loved and treated as members of the family.
3. Concern - A
responsible Himalayan cat breeder will be concerned about the wellbeing
of her cats and kittens. She'll want to know a lot about you,
and put you through a "screening" process before agreeing to
place one of her kittens with you.
4. Accountability
- A responsible Himalayan cat breeder will follow a carefully selective
breeding program. The goal of each breeding should be to produce
the healthiest, soundest kittens possible, while adhering to
the breed standard set forth by the governing cat breed association.
In addition to this, the breeder should offer, and stand behind,
a reasonable health guarantee on her kittens.
5. Commitment
- A responsible Himalayan cat breeder will be committed to the
welfare of her kittens. She should be willing to offer you a
reasonable amount of post-sale support to answer any questions
you may have as you adjust to life as a kitten owner.
She should want to keep in touch with you and receive photos
and updates on how your kitten is doing. The breeder should
also be willing to assist you in re-homing your kitten, should
circumstances prevent your fulfilling your commitment to raising
the feline, for any reason.
The following Himalayan
catteries meet our guidelines for responsible cat breeders.

Delaware - Dover - www.lekozycats.com - We are a cattery, where all of our kittens are raised under feet, not in cages, as some other breeders. All of our cats/kittens are beloved pets, and hugged, petted,held, and they, as a result, come to us all the time, and rub our feet, or meow politely, telling us that they want to be petted. My special cat,(our stud), Buford, will also jump up on the couch, and very gently pat my leg with one of his paws. He has, also slept right in bed with me, pressed up against the curve of my spine. We are also building a Kitty Palace, an outdoor fenced in area, with perches, and even a tree, in which they may be outside, safely, and also not be a problem for birds, (who we also love. We charge $350.00 for our kittens. The stipulations about early payment are shown above. We also have, as mentioned, a **proven stud**, who may be available if apppropriate arrangements can be made. Prices for stud service have not yet been decided
