FAQ for Great Mews Cattery
Where are you located?
We are located near Minneapolis/St. Paul MN.
Is the minuet the same as a munchkin?
Minuets (also called Napoleons) are a TICA (The International Cat Association) recognized breed. Their ancestry is derived from crossing a Munchkin and Persian. This gives the comical, sweet and silly Munchkin personality combined with the grace, beauty and elegance of the Persian! Standard kittens have short little legs and are quite small. Non-standards have regular length legs but are typically smaller than the average house cat.
How much are your kittens?
Short-Legged (Standard) Pet Kittens
- $2300-$3000 depending on coloring, number of generations, leg length and gender.
Long-Legged (Non-Standard) Pet Kittens
-$700-$1400 depending on coloring and gender.
*I also have a two year health guarantee on all my babies.
**Breeder Rights add $1000/kitten regardless of type.

Do you ship kittens across the us/overseas?
We offer in-person transport (to major airports), pet courier referrals and many families fly in to St, Paul to get their new baby. With costs very comparable to cargo shipping, it just makes more sense and is the only way to guarantee your baby's safe arrival. In addition, if you are getting two kittens from us they fly for the cost of one! (We no longer cargo ship. After investing the time, patience and money for a new addition to your home, we will never risk their health by cargo shipping.)
When can i expect to get my kitten?
While everyone is anxious to meet their new fur-baby, we follow the TICA Ethical Breeder Guidelines and best practices research and typically deliver kittens at 16-20 weeks (they are still very small at that age). This ensures that you have an adjusted, confident, social and exceptional baby. Families are always surprised at how small their kitten is and how ready to bond they are. Kittens form extremely strong bonds with humans after 12-14 weeks and placing a kitten in a home prior can cause anxiety, aggression, shyness and cats can exhibit other behavioral problems.
I can't afford the price of a kitten...but i really love this breed! do you have something for my budget?
Juveniles & Adults - we often have kitties that are about a year old that were held back to evaluate for breeding or retired Queens/Kings. If you are wanting a Minuet but have to be very budget conscious, these sweeties could be a great option! Please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in and I'll put you on my inquire list for my Juveniles and Adults. Contact me at greatmewscattery@gmail.com or FB message me!
Will my kitten be registered?
We register all of our cats with TICA. If you are purchasing any kitten, please take time to make sure it is registered! Any great breeder should always be part of the TICA or CFA registry.
