Frequently asked questions.
How much do Scottish Fold kittens cost?+
Our Scottish Fold kitten price ranges from $2,800 to $3,600 depending on color, ear type, and sex. Scottish Straight siblings are offered at $2,400–$2,800. Pricing includes age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipping, two veterinary examinations, TICA registration paperwork, a starter pack of food and bedding, and our two-year congenital health guarantee.
Are Scottish Fold cats healthy?+
When bred ethically — Fold to Straight, never Fold to Fold — Scottish Folds live full and active lives of 12 to 15 years. The condition associated with the breed (osteochondrodysplasia) is dose-dependent: heterozygous kittens from a Fold × Straight pairing have dramatically reduced risk. We screen breeding cats annually with radiographs and partner with a feline orthopedic specialist.
Are you a TICA registered Scottish Fold breeder?+
Yes. Aurelian Folds is a registered TICA cattery in good standing, with Margaret Aurelian as a TICA member since 2014. Every kitten leaves with signed TICA registration paperwork and a four-generation pedigree. Our cattery registration and current standing certificate are available for review on request.
How does the reservation and waiting list work?+
A $500 deposit secures your place on our waiting list. When a litter is announced, families on the list are invited to select in deposit order. Deposits are refundable within 14 days and fully applicable to the final kitten price.
Do you ship kittens?+
We do not crate-ship kittens unaccompanied. We offer in-cattery pickup, in-cabin flight nanny service, and ground delivery throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic by a licensed pet courier.
What is included in the health guarantee?+
Every kitten is covered by a two-year written guarantee against life-threatening congenital and hereditary defects, including HCM and PKD. Full terms are published on our Health Guarantee page.
When are kittens ready to go home?+
Kittens leave the cattery no earlier than 12 weeks of age. This allows full weaning, two FVRCP vaccinations, microchipping, and complete socialization with people and other animals.
Do you provide registration papers?+
Yes. All Scottish Fold kittens with papers leave Aurelian Folds with TICA registration documents and a four-generation pedigree. Breeding rights are offered selectively and only to mentored programs.
