Website:
Royal Velvets is a TICA-registered cattery based in Spring City, Tennessee, that breeds and raises specialty cat breeds. According to the company’s website, it focuses on Sphynx, Devon Rex, and Lykoi kittens, with an emphasis on health testing, in-home socialization, and post-adoption support. The cattery’s stated philosophy is “Breeding with Purpose, Raising with Heart.”
Services
Royal Velvets offers breeding, kitten reservation, and related services to families seeking one of its specialty breeds. Services described on the website include:
- Kitten breeding and reservation
- Health testing, including HCM screening, genetic/DNA testing, and bloodwork
- An in-home kitten socialization program
- Transportation and concierge-level delivery arrangements for kittens
- Lifetime post-adoption support
- TICA registration documentation provided with each kitten
The site outlines two ways to reserve a kitten: a free interest list and a priority waitlist secured with a $100 deposit. Kittens are typically made available at approximately 14 to 16 weeks of age.
Breeds
Royal Velvets raises three breeds, each described on the website:
- Sphynx — a hairless breed with smooth, suede-like skin, described as affectionate and people-oriented. Breeding lines are health-tested, HCM-screened, and TICA-registered.
- Devon Rex — a breed with a soft, curly, low-shedding coat (not hairless), characterized as playful and people-focused, and raised from health-tested, thoughtfully paired parents.
- Lykoi — a partially coated breed with a naturally sparse “roan” coat, described as intelligent and observant. The website notes the Lykoi is a naturally occurring mutation rather than a designer-bred cat, and that all breeding cats are DNA tested and health screened.
About
Royal Velvets describes itself as an ethical cattery that raises all of its kittens in a home environment with hands-on socialization. The website emphasizes responsible breeding practices, including health and genetic testing of breeding cats and thoughtful pairing of parents. All kittens are provided with proper registration and documentation through TICA. A breeder identified as “Adra” is referenced in customer testimonials on the site. The website does not list a founding year or full staff roster, so those details are omitted here.
