Understanding Our Prices
Premium and Quality, the Primary Pricing Factors
Regardless of the pricing considerations every Belle Ayr kitten has "the spark" of personality and will become a well-loved addition to your household.
Our prices reflect, lineage, colour, type and conformity.

Our Graduate Program
Some of our kittens are priced according to their age group.
We are very selective about the kittens that we keep as the foundation of our future lines.
We select the most promising kittens, place them into our “Graduate Programme” and let them develop until they are between 8 to 15 months old. When they are ready we select the ones that we wish to take on into our breeding program. This leaves quite a few top-quality, older kittens or adult cats that are ready for a new home.
Traits
Of course, not all kittens born in the same litter will carry these traits. While they will have the same health and well-being quality standards, they may not carry the same coat tone colour or eye colour that's in the premium range.
The British Short and Longhair breeds are classified as 'Snub-nose'. Over the years, these breeds have become more brachycephalic (flatter than normal faces), which can lead to health issues. This is a trait that we are working to redress for the welfare and longevity of the breed.
While we have screened the parents for excellent standards some kittens may have a breed conformity issue. This could include tail length, head shape, coat colour/markings, eye, nose, and teeth alignment. We openly detail such minor traits in the kittens' promotional descriptions when it becomes apparent and outside club show standard margins.
Breed traits are minor "imperfections" and are not associated with any other diseases in the kittens.
