Yes - we encourage it. Visits are arranged once kittens are around eight weeks old and well-socialised enough to meet visitors. We welcome serious prospective owners to come and meet their kitten and our adult cats in our home.

Oriental and Siamese kittens need that extra time with their mother and littermates to develop fully - physically, emotionally, and behaviourally. Earlier separation is associated with anxiety, biting, and litter-box issues later in life. Twelve weeks is the NZCF guideline and our firm minimum.

Every Orimeeze pet kitten is desexed before going to their new home. It protects the kitten from accidental breeding and from the health risks of early maturity, and it ensures our breeding lines remain in the hands of registered breeders.

[PLACEHOLDER - confirm with Anne. Within the country? will arrange ground transport or accompanied air travel for kittens going to other regions? Anne to confirm her policy.]

Kittens are sent to their new homes with samples packs of the food they are

currently being fed.

Current foods:

• Royal Canin Kitten dry food

• Cooked Chicken

• Raw meats without bones

• Pouches – Kitten variety - Royal Canin

Avoid introducing new foods straight away. If you would like to change your kitten’s

diet, do this slowly over several days to help prevent an upset stomach. Kittens are

used to wet food morning and night, with dry food available 24/7.

Our health guarantee is set out in full in our Sales Agreement. In short, we stand behind the genetic health of every kitten we place. If a serious hereditary issue emerges that traces to our breeding, we will work with you on next steps - including, if necessary, taking the kitten back.

Kittens will only be sold to pet/show homes desexed.

We sell our kittens by price on application. Pricing reflects pedigree, conformation, and the intended home and purpose (pet or competition). Please get in touch and we'll discuss.

They share more than they differ - both are highly intelligent, vocal, athletic, and deeply social. They want to be involved in everything you do. They are not cats that thrive being left alone all day. The biggest visible difference is in their coat: Siamese carry the pointed gene that produces the colour-restricted "points" pattern, while Orientals come in many solid colours, Bi-colours (colour and white) and Lynx

(tabby patterns – spotted, classic and ticked)

Whether you're new to the breeds or experienced, good questions to ask any breeder include: what genetic tests are done, what is the maximum age of the dam at breeding, how often does each queen produce a litter, how are kittens socialised, what happens if the kitten doesn't work out in the home, and how does the breeder choose buyers. We're happy to answer any of these directly.
