Royal Oriental Pricing — $4,500 Flat
We believe in transparent, flat pricing. Every Royal Oriental kitten is $4,500. No color premiums, no rare-color surcharges, no breeding-line markups. The price covers everything we include — see below.
Why flat pricing? Every kitten gets the same care, DNA testing, vet protocol, socialization, and contract guarantees. Their value is the same. Charging more for rare colors pressures buyers to choose by economics rather than personality fit — and that does not serve the cat or the family.
What is Included in $4,500
- TICA registration paperwork (transferred to your name)
- DNA panel results on both parents (PRA, PKD, recessive markers, color/pattern verification, parentage)
- 1-year genetic health guarantee
- 2-year HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) guarantee
- Lifetime breeder support — call us anytime
- Age-appropriate vaccinations through 12 weeks (FVRCP series, rabies if applicable)
- First wellness vet exam before go-home
- Spay/neuter pet contract (or spay/neuter completed before transfer when possible)
- Microchip implanted and registered to your contact info
- Kitten care starter packet (food samples, supply checklist, transition guide)
