Our Standards & Practices – Australian Cat Breeds

Health Testing & Screening

Question: Do you health test in accordance with the current standards and recommended guidelines for your breed? Can you demonstrate your knowledge of any required DNA or other health-related test results concerning your breed (if applicable)?
Answer: Yes. At Australian Cat Breeds, our Burmese and Siamese cats receive regular veterinary health checks to ensure they remain in excellent condition and meet the highest health standards.

Preparation & Socialisation

Question: Do you ensure that your kittens are appropriately socialised? Please provide details about how you raise your kittens to ensure that their environmental and social needs are met, and that they are suitable as pets. Do you ensure that the new family understands and is equipped to continue this socialisation?
Answer: Yes. Our Burmese and Siamese kittens are carefully socialised from an early age, interacting daily with people and other animals. This helps them grow into confident, affectionate companions. We also guide new owners on continuing proper socialisation at home to ensure a smooth transition.

Placement & Matching

Question: Is ensuring that your kittens go to the right home a high priority? How do you ensure that the kitten will be a good fit and be well cared for in its new home? Do you have a verbal or personal interview?
Answer: Yes. We prioritise placing our kittens with loving and responsible families. Each potential owner is personally interviewed to make sure the kitten will be cared for in a safe, nurturing environment.

Question: What written information about the conditions of sale, warranty, and information concerning the care and maintenance of the breed do you provide?
Answer: Every new owner receives a Customer Agreement and Desexing Form, which must be signed prior to adoption. Our kittens are vet checked, vaccinated, and microchipped, and we provide full care and maintenance information to support responsible ownership.

Insurance Options

Question: Do you offer pet insurance?
Answer: The breeder has not provided a response regarding insurance options at this time.

Ongoing Support

Question: Do you offer ongoing support? For example: help with introducing a kitten to other animals; help with any health or behavioural problems that might occur.
Answer: Yes. We offer ongoing support to all our kitten owners. Whether it’s advice on introductions, behaviour, or general care, we’re always here to help.

Question: In the long term, do you assist with re-homing a kitten or cat if, for some reason, the new family is unable to continue caring for it?
Answer: Yes. We are committed to every kitten we raise and offer assistance with rehoming if needed, ensuring every cat always has a safe and loving place to go.
