Who you are buying from 👑
Royal Pharoa is a home-based Sphynx cattery in North Tampa / Lutz, Tampa, FL, registered with the International Cat Fanciers' Association as ICFA Registered Cattery No. 3975. The certificate is shown to every visitor, along with both parents of the litter.
You visit before you buy 🏠
We do not sell kittens sight-unseen, and we never accept payment from someone who has not met us and the kitten in person. Visits are by appointment in North Tampa / Lutz. This protects the kittens, and it protects you from the scams that are common in this breed.
Reserving a kitten ✍️
After your visit, a deposit reserves your kitten until pickup day. The deposit comes off the total price and is agreed in writing before any money changes hands. We send photo and video updates while you wait.
Pickup 🗓️
Kittens go home at 16 weeks, never earlier. That is later than most catteries, and on purpose: the extra weeks with mom and the litter make for a calmer, better socialized kitten. Pickup day includes the sales contract, the health record, a care walkthrough and the starter kit.
What is included in the price 🎁
- Age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming
- HCM-negative bloodline
- Microchip registered to you
- Health record and sales contract
- Starter kit: food, a blanket with mom's scent, a favorite toy
Papers and breeding rights 📜
Our kittens are placed as pets, and pet kittens do not come with registration papers. That is standard practice in registered catteries and it protects the breed from casual breeding.
Breeding rights are available for approved homes. A kitten sold with breeding rights comes with its ICFA registration papers, and is priced separately. If that is what you are looking for, tell us when you get in touch and we will talk it through at your visit.
What we promise about health, honestly 🩺
Your kitten goes home fully vaccinated and dewormed. We cannot promise that a cat will never have a health problem in its life, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that the kitten you carry out our door is well, and that its bloodline is HCM-negative. From there it comes down to the care, diet and vet visits you give.
If you would like a veterinarian's report before pickup, that is no problem at all. It is simply arranged at your cost.
Payment 💳
Deposits and balances are paid by normal, traceable methods with a receipt. We will never ask you for wire transfers to a stranger, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or payment in full before you have seen your kitten in person. Anyone asking you for that is not us.
After you go home 💛
Our families get lifetime support. Questions at 10pm about the first bath are genuinely welcome, and we love the photo updates.
