Kitten Adoption Application – Dark Moon Cattery, Cape Town

Please Note:

Kittens are not ready to go home until they are 14–16 weeks old.
Be sure to read our FAQs before submitting an application.
Applications typically close within 24–48 hours.
Oftentimes, multiple people express interest in the same kitten. We carefully select the home we believe is the best match for each individual kitten. If you do not hear from us within 72 hours after the application closing date, it means the kitten has been placed with another applicant. We understand this can be disappointing, but we encourage you to apply again for future litters—choosing just one home from many wonderful applications is always the hardest part. Thank you for your understanding.

Kitten Adoption Fee: R16,500 per kitten.
If you are selected, a signed contract and a deposit of R6,500 is required within 24 hours of confirmation. This deposit will be deducted from the final kitten cost and is non-refundable and non-transferable. This policy ensures serious commitments and helps us avoid last-minute cancellations that could impact other interested families.
Flight Costs: Transport to other provinces is billed separately, approximately ±R1,600. This price includes transport to Cape Town airport, airfreight, handling/admin/communication charges, check-in/clearance costs, and travel carrier hire. An additional expense for IATA-approved carriers may apply for certain destinations.

I have read through the FAQs, understand the pricing, deposit requirements, and reservation process. I also understand that kittens are limited, and if I am not selected this time, I will remain patient and respectful of the process. I am genuinely interested in the kitten(s) I selected above. If chosen for any of them, I fully intend to proceed with the reservation process.
