Ethical Breeding

At Majestic Kittens UK, ethical breeding isn't just a slogan—it's the foundation of everything we do. We believe that responsible breeding means putting the welfare of our cats above profit, always.

**Our Ethical Standards:**

**Queen Welfare:**
- Maximum 1-2 litters per year per queen
- Minimum 12-month recovery between litters
- No breeding before 18 months of age
- Retirement at age 5-6 to loving pet homes
- Regular veterinary check-ups

**Kitten Care:**
- Kittens stay with mother for minimum 12 weeks
- No early separation for profit
- Full socialization program
- Complete vaccination schedule
- Microchipping before adoption

**Breeding Decisions:**
- Never breeding cats with known health issues
- Careful temperament selection
- Genetic diversity prioritization
- No inbreeding or line-breeding extremes
- Breed standard adherence without extremes

**Transparency:**
- Open cattery visits by appointment
- Full health disclosure
- Honest communication about any concerns
- Lifetime breeder support
- Take-back policy if circumstances change

**What We Don't Do:**
- ✗ Breed cats too young or too often
- ✗ Separate kittens before 12 weeks
- ✗ Breed cats with genetic health issues
- ✗ Prioritize profit over welfare
- ✗ Sell to pet stores or brokers
- ✗ Support kitten mills through our practices

**Our Philosophy:**

Each cat in our care is a valued family member, not a breeding machine. We breed because we love these magnificent breeds and want to preserve and improve them—not because we're chasing money.

When you choose a kitten from us, you're supporting ethical practices that prioritize animal welfare above all else.
