Aurelian Folds operates under a public, written ethical breeding policy. These commitments are non-negotiable and govern every decision in our cattery.

Genetic responsibility

Fold × Straight pairings only. No exceptions.
Annual orthopedic and cardiac screening of every breeding cat.
Public disclosure of all DNA test results to applicants on request.

Welfare commitments

Two litters per queen per year, maximum.
Retirement at age five into vetted family homes — never to a shelter.
No sale to brokers, pet stores, or homes intending to declaw.
Kittens placed no earlier than 12 weeks of age.
Lifetime contractual right of return.

Transparency

We publish every pairing structure, our pricing, and our health protocols. We answer every difficult question — about genetics, about the breed's history, about welfare debates — without evasion.
