Mokave Prices

My large designer breeds are evolving nicely but raising these kittens properly is really expensive. Many hybrids aren't very fertile and I don't overbreed my cats, which means only a few litters of these rare kittens can be produced each year.

Mokave Kittens are priced individually based upon their lineage, size, personality, coat pattern, color, and exotic features such ear tuffs, bobtail, plush coat, etc. I do not offer pet priced  kittens; all my cats are the highest quality my breeding program can produce. The cost of each kitten is listed on its Personal Page. This year they'll range between $3000 and $4000.

These unusual felines actually become more beautiful and exotic-looking as they mature; therefore the price of a kitten could increase as it grows. Reserving your kitten early locks in its price -- no matter how big or gorgeous it becomes later on!

Mokave Cats become available when I decide not to breed a kitten I've been keeping for myself or I retire one of my young Kings or Queens. These felines have special characteristics that I felt would be an asset to my breeding program. They are priced in such a way as to recoup some of the costs I've incurred in raising them and providing them to you with their altering, vaccinations, blood work and fecal check already completed. A young Mokave cat costs between $1000 to $2000.

Who Buys These Cats?

I sell a lot of Mokaves to police officers, sheriffs, undercover detectives, firemen, US Customs agents, as well as medical professionals such as doctors, psychologists, and paramedics. Military families also love my cats. Name any branch of service: US Marines, Navy Seals, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard - someone there has a Mokave cat.

Mokave cats are often called MAN cats, but there's a lot more to them than just their unusual appearance and size. People first come to me because they like the exotic looks of my larger cats, but they buy their second (third or fourth) Mokave because they've fallen in love with their sweet personalities and amazing intelligence.

Please see my Mokaves For Sale page for details on what's currently available. All Mokave cats and kittens are spayed or neutered prior to pickup or shipping. I do not sell my felines for breeding purposes.

Pet Parent Criteria

It's important that you and the Mokave kitty you want are a good match for your situation and environment. Please review my Pet Parent Criteria to be sure that one of my Mokaves would be right for you and your family.

Are you an animal lover?
Many people call me who are more interested in owning a rare object that will give them bragging rights, than adopting a family pet. This is a bad idea for so many reasons. People who genuinely love animals generally have more patience, and make a greater effort to learn about and understand these unusual felines.

Can you afford to take care of a Mokave cat?
My cats don't have a lot of special needs but they do require a tall cat tree, a particular type of dry food, and occasional vet care to keep them growing and healthy.

How much time do you have to spend with your kitty?
Mokave cats are bred to be true companions and bond strongly with their humans. If you're always busy, or no one is ever around to play with and love the kitty, this is not the breed for you because a Mokave cat can actually grieve for lack of companionship.

How many animals do you have now?
Some people are collectors. They are constantly looking for another unusual animal to add to their group. Too many animals means less time spent with each one. This can cause behavioral problems as many hybrids will not compete for attention and wind up being less social (and more stressed) than they would have been had there been fewer animals around.

Also, it's important to spay/neuter your pets -- not only for their own health and to prevent pet overpopulation -- but to ensure there will be no territorial conflicts with your new kitten.

Will you keep your Mokave cat indoors?
Mokave cats and kittens are raised to be indoor family pets. They are not "street smart" and could easily get hurt (or stolen) if left outside unsupervised. Studies have shown that indoor/outdoor cats have an average lifespan of less than half that of indoor-only cats.

Does anyone smoke in your home?
A kitten's lungs are quite small and their respiratory rate much faster than ours. Not only do they inhale more smoke, but toxins from the smoke in the air (or on your clothing, furniture, and carpets) is transferred to their coats where they ingest it orally through grooming themselves.

Research indicates that cats are up to 70% more likely to come down with cancer, allergies, eye/skin diseases, and respiratory problems when exposed to second-hand smoke.

All I want is someone who will truly love my cats, play with them,
and properly care for them. Do you qualify as a good Pet Parent?

Reserving a Mokave Kitten

Because I produce so few kittens each year, it is usually necessary to reserve them in advance. Before reserving any Mokave, you must meet my Pet Parent Criteria.

For Mokave kittens, a $500.00 non-refundable Litter Deposit is required. This deposit is good for 12 months. You can tentatively assign your deposit to a particular upcoming litter, which then entitles you to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd pick of any available kittens in that litter, depending upon the order in which your deposit was received. You also can move this deposit to a different litter at any time prior to choosing your kitten.

Once you have selected your kitten, an additional $500 non-refundable Kitten Reservation Deposit is required to reserve that particular kitten for you, bringing the total deposit amount to $1000. All deposits are subtracted from the cost of the kitten.

Waiting For A Kitten...

From Pet Parent:
Leanne C.  Clearwater, FL

"I'll see you Saturday morning. I CAN'T WAIT to pick up my boy!!! Is he getting big? By the way, thanks for updating the photos so frequently. That's got to be a full time job besides actually caring for the kitties."

"I cannot believe that Jazzi's kitten MF2 is still available! In the newest photos the marbled areas are starting to look like giant distorted rosettes -- with that stark definition between them and the pale background coloring.... Wow!!! She is going to be an amazingly beautiful cat!"

Marbled Girl

"I have to say that I just can't take it any longer. If that marbled girl is still available on Saturday, I'm gonna get her. too. I'll bring the money with me just in case. Now it's up to fate..."

[Leanne and her family did buy this gorgeous marbled girl when they picked up their Mokave boy.]

Purchasing a Mokave Cat or Kitten

All Mokaves must be paid in full prior to pickup or shipping.
