About Our Cats

We breed with high quality British lines. Coats are soft, silky and plush. Eyes and head are round with a chonky body.

We are a TICA and CFA registered cattery located on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi.

We breed beautiful color lines, and silver and golden shaded British cats. Silver shaded means the color is restricted to the ends of the hair shaft, creating a sparkly white-silver look.

Kittens and parents are raised in home with love and nurturing care. We believe in a healthy approach so our cats are fed an organic raw meat diet. They have lots of space to run around, play and explore to keep their minds engaged and happy.

Health is priority, so we do DNA testing on our breeding cats to examine health genetics.

Our cats are our family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the health clearances?

Parents and kittens are fed primarily an organic raw food diet with other natural supplementation. Each kitten is cleared healthy by a licensed veterinarian before going home, with at least 2 rounds of FVRCP vaccine, dewormed, microchipped, and flea and tick treated. Kittens are screened for intestinal parasites by fecal examination at that health check, and the results are provided at delivery. Our breeding cats have DNA health genetics testing.

At what age are kittens available?

Kittens are ready to join you in your home between 12–16 weeks of age. The exact timing depends on their development, vaccine schedules and travel. This gives them the proper amount of time to be nourished and trained by mom. Kittens will have their first required vaccines and be litter trained.

What is the process to reserve a kitten?

Start with an application. Most of our kittens go to families on the Priority Waitlist, which is a $250 non-refundable deposit that goes toward the cost of your kitten. You’ll find the full process, deposits and timing on our Kittens page.

How much does a kitten cost?

Prices range depending on various factors, but kitten prices start at $2500–$3500. Price includes vaccines, deworming, flea and tick treatment, microchipping and a veterinary health check before re-homing. Price also includes kittens being fed organic raw meat while in our cattery, and kittens bred from parents DNA tested free of hereditary diseases.

Where are you located?

We are located on the beautiful and lush Big Island of Hawaiʻi. We live in the sunbelt just a few blocks from the ocean on the East side of the island. To fly in and pick up kittens, the closest airport is Hilo. Kona airport is 2 1/2 hours away. Come for a vacation and take home a sweet cuddly kitten!

Best way to connect with us is via Instagram @ParadiseGemCats.

What options do I have to get the kitten to me?

We are located on the Island of Hawaiʻi near the Hilo airport. New owners are responsible for the costs of getting their kitten home. We can send kittens via Aloha Air Cargo and you can possibly have your kitten accompanied by a sibling going to the same island and split the cost with the other family. We will help coordinate and arrange the flights. Depending on location, we can discuss transportation options.
