Kittenry
A Bengal kitten raised underfoot, resting on a bed at home
Founding cattery program · 20 spots

You do the work. Let buyers see it.

You health test. You raise underfoot. You turn away homes that aren't right. And then you compete for attention with an account that stole your photos last Tuesday. Kittenry makes that difference visible to a buyer in about four seconds.

6 months free For the first 20 founding catteries
No commission We take nothing from any kitten sale, ever
Ten minutes That's the whole application
The honest version

"I already have a two-year waitlist. Why would I need this?"

Because waitlists aren't the same as demand

A waitlist is a snapshot of the buyers who happened to find you. It tells you nothing about the ones who searched for three days, gave up, and bought from a kitten mill in Ohio instead. Being findable isn't about volume — it's about which buyers reach you.

Because the wrong inquiries cost you hours

Most breeders we talk to don't want more inquiries. They want fewer bad ones. Buyers arriving from a page that already explained health testing, 12-week placement, and why a well-bred kitten costs what it does come in pre-qualified and skip the first three emails entirely.

Because scams are your problem too

Every buyer burned by a fake cattery becomes a buyer who distrusts all of us and haggles over your deposit. It's also why buyers have gone cold on Zelle — being able to say "you can pay by card" removes the single biggest hesitation before a deposit, and we'll set that up for you at no cost if you're not taking cards yet.

Because you'll be able to see whether it worked

Founding catteries list free for six months, and no commission on any kitten, now or later. At the end of it you won't have to guess whether it was worth it — your dashboard will tell you exactly how many people opened your listing and how many contacted you. If that number is zero, don't pay us.

What you get

The deal, in full.

  • A verified cattery profile

    Your program, your photos, your words — with a badge that says a human checked your paperwork.

  • Inquiries straight to your inbox

    We don't sell your leads, resell them, or route them through a middleman. Buyers email you directly.

  • Zero commission

    We take nothing from any kitten sale, deposit, or stud fee. Not now, not after the founding period.

  • Card payments set up for you, free

    If you're not already taking cards, we'll get you set up — properly, with someone who does this for a living. Buyers are visibly nervous about Zelle now, and taking cards closes deposits faster.

  • Six months free as a founding cattery

  • Proof of what it did for you

    Your dashboard shows how many people opened your listing this month, how many clicked your email, and how many tapped your number. Counted as people, not clicks — and never your own visits. Most directories have had no working analytics since 2023, which is why none of them can tell you whether their listing was worth the money. You'll know by the end of your first month.

  • A free month for every cattery you bring

    Send another breeder our way and you get a month free when they join. They get 10% off their first month. There's no cap, and we'd rather pay you than an ad network.

  • Leave whenever you want

    Email us and we take your profile down the same day. No contract, no notice period, no hostage-taking.

What we'll ask you for

Have these handy.

  1. Your TICA or CFA registered cattery name
  2. The genetic test results your breed is screened for — PK-Def and PRA-b in Bengals, SMA and MyBPC3 in Maine Coons, and so on
  3. Most recent HCM echo report, where your breed is screened for it
  4. A copy of your kitten contract
  5. 6–10 photos of your cats and your home setup
  6. A few sentences about your program, in your own words

Verification usually takes under a week. If something's missing we'll tell you exactly what, and you can come back when you have it — there's no penalty for that.

If your website is the problem

We'll build you one — and the listing becomes free.

A lot of cattery sites can't take a deposit online. Some are on a builder subdomain, some stopped loading years ago and nobody told the owner, and a few now redirect to a domain reseller. Every one of those costs enquiries that were already yours — a buyer who can't pay a deposit is a buyer who keeps shopping.

We build the site, on your own domain, with your photos and your words, and with a way to take a deposit by card. If we've built your site and you process cards through us, your Kittenry listing costs nothing for as long as both are true. We'd rather make our money on the website and the processing than on a $30 listing.

Not interested in a rebuild? That's genuinely fine — the listing works on its own, and we'll set you up to take cards without touching your site at all.

Free, whether or not you list

Two things you can take right now.

No signup, no email required. We'd rather be useful first and ask second.

  • A kitten contract template

    Plain English, with a note under each clause explaining what it's actually for — including the deposit and return clauses most templates get wrong.

  • A health testing checklist for your breed

    Printable, and specific to the breed you actually work with — because a Bengal panel asked of a Maine Coon breeder just announces that we don't know their breed.
