What Sets Royal Velvets Apart from Other Breeders? In a world where you can find kittens for sale at every price point, it’s important to ask: why are some cats so much cheaper—and what exactly are you paying for when you choose a reputable breeder like Royal Velvets? Here at Royal Velvets , we understand that choosing a kitten is a deeply personal—and sometimes emotional—decision. But we also believe it’s one that should be rooted in education and intention. The truth is, when it comes to breeding, you really do get what you pay for. And in the case of discounted kittens, “cheap” can quickly become very costly—in terms of both finances and heartbreak. Not Just Breeders—Preservers of the Breed One of the key things that sets us apart is our why. We don’t breed Sphynx , Devon Rex , and Lykoi cats because it’s a quick paycheck. In fact, when breeding is done ethically and responsibly, it rarely results in profit. That’s because real breeding—breeding that’s done for the betterment of the breed—takes time, commitment, extensive testing, and a whole lot of heart. Sadly, many people enter the world of breeding with no long-term vision or real understanding of the responsibility it carries. They cut corners, breed unhealthy cats, or skip essential testing to save money and increase profit. But cats aren’t commodities. They’re living, breathing beings who deserve to come into the world intentionally, not opportunistically. Health, Lineage, and Integrity—Always At Royal Velvets, we go above and beyond to ensure the health and wellbeing of our kittens—and their parents. We do: ✅ Extensive health testing on all of our breeding cats ✅ HCM, FIP, and congenital condition screening ✅ Blood Work prior to any surgery ✅ FELV/FIV testing and fecals with cytology ✅ Pedigree tracking and line consistency for generations ✅ Microchipping, spay/neuter, health guarantees, & more We also work closely with like-minded breeders who share our goals of maintaining healthy lines and introducing only well-tested diversity when appropriate. Even with all of this care, we still acknowledge that there are no absolute guarantees. These are still animals—and just like humans, things can arise. But when they do, we are here. Every single step of the way. What Comes with a Royal Velvet Kitten? When you adopt a kitten from Royal Velvets, you’re not just getting a beautiful, well-socialized companion.
