Kitten Reservation (Waiting) List
A Few Important Guidelines:
1. Reservation/Waiting List Order
Clients are added to the waiting list in the order their deposits are received. If multiple deposits are received on the same day, the invoice date and time will determine the order of placement.
2. Updating Preferences & Adding Kittens
Clients may request changes or updates to their preferences for breed, gender, or color point, as well as request additional kittens (up to a maximum of three kittens per waiting list entry). All changes and additions are subject to the breeder’s discretion.
A separate deposit is required for each additional kitten. The additional deposit must be received before a kitten can be formally offered to or accepted by the client.
3. Breeder’s First Pick & Breeding Program
IMPORTANT: Annabel of Tresor Cats always reserves the right to first pick from any litter, as needed, to maintain and strengthen the breeding program.
Although I do not necessarily keep a kitten from every litter, I must retain the option to do so whenever the need arises to replace an adult breeding cat or preserve a particular lineage.
My commitment is to maintaining the health, quality, and integrity of my carefully established Siamese and Balinese pedigree lines. Having the option to retain a kitten from my own proven breeding lines allows me to preserve their valued characteristics before introducing new lines from other breeders.
This practice helps ensure that I can continue developing and preserving these wonderful breeds while sharing their beauty, temperament, and heritage with fellow cat lovers and aficionados.
Thank you for understanding and supporting my responsibility to the long-term preservation and quality of the Tresor Cats breeding program.
4. Removal from the Waiting List
Clients remain on the waiting list until they formally accept a kitten. Once a kitten has been accepted, the client’s name will be removed from the waiting list.

Waiting List Timeline & Kitten Preferences:
My goal is to help clients select their kittens within one year of joining the waiting list, and of course, the sooner the better. While I do my best to plan breeding pairings to achieve desired outcomes, nature ultimately has the final say!
As a breeder, I can carefully plan pairings with specific goals in mind, but I cannot control the number of kittens born, the sexes of the kittens, or the exact colors, patterns, and coat lengths produced. For this reason, I cannot guarantee when a kitten matching every specific preference will become available.
Some clients may find their perfect kitten within a few months, while others may choose to remain on the waiting list for a year or longer. Extended wait times are often the result of very specific preferences regarding gender, color point, pattern, or coat length. The more selective the preferences, the longer it may take for the right kitten to come along.
Please also keep in mind that changes to your preferences after joining the waiting list can affect the time it takes to find your ideal match. While I understand that preferences can evolve, frequent or significant changes can make it more challenging to plan and match available kittens with your updated wishes.
In addition, some clients join the waiting list well in advance because they prefer to welcome a kitten during a particular month, season, or time in the future. These clients may intentionally remain on the list longer to align their kitten's arrival with their personal plans.
My priority is to help each client find a kitten that is the right fit for them while also respecting the natural unpredictability of breeding. Patience and flexibility can make a significant difference in your waiting list experience. I appreciate your understanding as we work together toward finding the perfect Tresor Cats kitten for you!
