Contacting Us About Breeding
Quality
When you buy a kitten from Belle Ayr you are buying an animal that has had the best of care from people who really love them.
We invest a lot of time in our kittens and you can read about our standards and approaches in the sections under the Welfare and Information menu items.
Registration
We register our kittens with Official Pedigrees through our membership with The Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe).
We are registered as breeders with our local authority and exceed their required welfare standards.
Health
We screen for genetic diseases by DNA testing through mycatdna.com. All “Active” kittens are provided with their own DNA profile and you will receive your report through mycatdna.com.
All our kittens are fully vaccinated against feline enteritis (panleucopaenia) virus (FPV), feline calicivirus (FCV) and, if required, feline herpesvirus (FHV).
Our Maine Coon breeding cats have echocardiogram scans to check their heart (for HCM), liver, lungs and kidneys. The results are registered with PawPeds. We scan our breeding Maine Coons annually.
Service
We ensure a high quality personalised service to all our customers.
Our services page outlines all that we offer, but, in summary, we can take care of every aspect around the purchase and delivery of your cat. We handle vet appointments and domestic / international delivery and associated paperwork.
We are experienced in delivering cats all around the world.
Purchasing Process
We will initially issue you with a quotation. This is normally by email for a simple (domestic) purchase, or by formal quote for others.
Should you wish to go ahead you will be issued with a formal invoice. Normally payment is due on receipt, but we are happy to discus a partial payment scheme.
All prices are for direct bank transfer. Should you wish to pay by credit card then there is a surcharge to cover our payment processor costs. Currently this is 1.5% for UK cards and 3.0% for those outside the UK.
Please see our terms and conditions for full details about payments, spaying and delivery.
