TICA VOLUNTARY CODE OF ETHICS

I am a member in good standing of The International Cat Association, Inc. (TICA) and have a TICA-registered cattery.

I will breed discriminately, and only if I can find appropriate homes for my kittens.

I will place kittens only in homes that I believe will provide a life-long commitment of love, appreciation, and responsible care. 

Any kitten or cat sold as a pet/companion will be sold under the following conditions:

  1. I will guarantee that the kitten/cat is in good health at the time of sale.

  2. I will urge the purchaser to have the kitten/cat examined by the purchaser's own veterinarian within a few days of purchase to confirm its good health.

  3. I will explain to the purchaser the dangers of an outdoor environment.

  4. I will provide a written sales agreement that describes all the terms of the sale. I will abide by my own sales agreement.

  5. I will make every effort to spay/neuter every kitten/cat prior to leaving Breeder. If this should not be possible, I will require that the kitten be spayed or neutered no later than 12 months of age and not be allowed to produce any offspring. I will provide the TICA registration certificate and/or pedigree for the kitten/cat only after I have received written evidence from a licensed veterinarian that the kitten/cat has been altered.

  6. I will not release a kitten until it has been inoculated at least twice against the following: Panleukopenia, Feline Rhinotracheitis, and Calicivirus. I also may choose to give other vaccinations.

My order just arrived and I’m obsessed! It isn’t easy to find a well fitting Sphynx shirt, but these do the trick! We live in Florida, where the weather only varies from warm to HOT. But, my cats hang out sometimes on the lanai outside and we were looking for a thin shirt to protect our baby’s skin from the sun. These are perfect! This company offers all types of fabrics but also a thin comfy shirt that is exactly what we needed! Ordering was simple, customer service was outstanding and promptly answered a question I had via email, pricing was fair, sizing was spot on, shipping times were reasonable and the shirts are PERFECT!

Kinga Edwards, as a breeder, I must say that your dedication to this unique breed is truly exceptional. Your love for each and every cat in your care is unmistakable, as you devote countless hours to their upbringing and socialisation. I couldn't be happier with Phoenix. And also, thank you for the lovely clothes, Phoenix has so many of your outfits, and not only they fit him perfectly but they are also very stylish and comfy! After all the proof is in the pudding

I can’t recommend Meadowsphynx (Kinga Edwards) enough. We got our beautiful kitten from her last year, and I’ve never known a more confident, loving, and sociable cat.

We were placed on a waiting list and had a thorough home check before getting to choose our kitten. Kinga was more than happy to answer any of our questions along the way and still keeps in touch now.

We also received plenty updates from birth up until the day she came to live with us, so we felt as though we really got to see her grow along the way.

The best in the business
