About Us:
Mystic Meows is a small CFA cattery located in the Myrtle Beach area of SC. We breed Siamese with point colors of Seal, Chocolate, Blue and Lilac. We have ColorPoint kittens, which include the lynx color points and Seals and Chocolates. We also have Orientals with Spotted, Bi-Color, Classic and Solid Colors.
Being a small cattery we may only have a few litters a year. We let our females rest between litters; our females are not mass kitten producers. We have been dedicated to breeding purebred Siamese, Orientals and Colorpoints for fine quality, sound health, and most loving personalities.
Our kittens are raised in our home. The kittens are born in our bedroom and stay in there with us until they are eight weeks old. Then we move them out to our spare bedroom that really is the cat and kittens room. This is where they grow and slowly start to adventure out from into the rest of the house. We give the kittens attention from the day they are born until they go to their new homes. There may be a wait on our kittens; we will do a waiting list on upcoming litters. Also please keep checking back with us.
We hope you enjoy the pictures of our cats and kittens. They bring us such joy and we are happy to be able to share them with you. We cherish our little ones while they are here and we miss them when they leave for their new homes.
Since breeding we have had very pleased owners of our kittens. Many thanks to the families who have adopted our kittens. We love getting your emails and pictures of our babies growing up. It is so nice to see how happy and loved our kittens are with you!
About Our Kittens & Policies:
We take great pride in raising healthy cats that are free of feline disorders, infectious diseases and parasites. All kittens are registered with CFA or TICA and sold with a contract that includes a health guarantee.
Kittens do not leave our home until they are at least 12 weeks old! This is for the health of the kitten, there are no exceptions! For more info see: "How Young is too Young?"
Buyer Contract: All buyers are required to sign a contract. The contract provides details on the health guarantees and stipulates other requirements that must be adhered to by the buyer.
Shipping: Sorry we Do Not ship our kittens, we like to meet our kitten buyers in person.
Spay/Neuter Requirements: Your kitten must be spayed (females) or neutered (males) by 8 months of age. Anytime after six months is ideal (although the longer you can hold off neutering a male, the better). Spaying and Neutering benefits your cat's health and quality of life.
Immunizations: All of our adults maintain immunizations. Our Cats also receive monthly worm medication. Random blood testing is done periodically to insure the health of our cats. There is no contact with outside cats, other than an occasional, selective breeding from another cattery that we know and trust.
Food: All of our kittens are fed Eukanuba dry kitten food. Adult parents are fed a mixture of Eukanuba, Science Diet dry food and a beef diet. Kittens should be fed kitten food until they are six months old, they can be fed kitten food up to a year old. These are the name brand foods we suggest for our cats and kittens:





Outdoor Cats: We perfer you keep them inside. Contrary to what many people believe, cats do not need to go outside. Once they get a taste of the great outdoors they become quite adept at slipping out the door. Despite the intelligence of Siamese and Orientals, they're incredibly lacking when it comes to outdoor instincts since they were born and raised inside.
Declawing: You don't have to declaw cats. All it takes is training and give them something to scratch on and they are fine. See our link page for Soft Paws, they also help if you have a kitten or cat that likes to scratch. The one main reason not to declaw is it obviously renders cats helpless if they ever accidentally get outside.
Scratching Post Training: We begin scratching post training as soon as our kittens begin to start scratching. A kitten that has been exposed to a variety of scratching materials at a young age will generally not have a problem destroying furniture and carpeting. We have sisal rope scratching posts and cardboard scratching boxes for them to train on and get use to before going to their new homes!
Claw Clipping: We begin clipping our kittens claws around 8 weeks of age. Keeping your kitten/cat's claws clipped is also helpful with scratching problems. They tend to scratch less if their claws are kept trimmed, so try to do this once a month.
Price of a kitten: The price depends on the parents and the how the litter turns out. We can only give a correct price for a kitten after they are born and we know what they are going to be. When we have new litters we will list the price of each kitten that is still available on the "New Kitten" page.
The price of your kitten includes your healthy kitten that has had their first two vaccines, wormers and vet exam. Registration paper for CFA or TICA. We also give new owners a Eukanuba kitten care packet that includes kitten food they are use to eating and some toys.
