FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Please reach us at lucyappel@bellspurr.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
1. Where are you located
We are in San Antonio, Texas, but we deliver our Bellspurr kittens by land or air to wherever you are. We are the only breeders who care enough for each one of our kittens that we deliver them ourselves. We make sure our kittens travel safely, and we get to meet you in person, which is very important to us.
2. Can we come visit your cattery and play with the kittens?
We do not invite any of our clients to our home. We do not have a store or an exhibition area, We never just show our kittens to anyone who asks, we show our kittens only if you are coming to bring the deposit in person, you have signed our contract and are committed to buy. “We require a deposit at visitation, as we operate on an appointment-only basis and do not function as a traditional pet store.”
