Where Can I Buy a Kitten in Singapore? — Best 2026 Cattery Guide

Key Takeaways

Buy a kitten in Singapore from an AVS licensed cattery, an SPCA-style shelter, or a reputable cat shop. Full comparison of options, prices and what to check.

An AVS-licensed cattery is one option when buying a pedigree kitten in Singapore. Verify the AVS licence number (format ASxxAxxxxx), TICA or CFA registration, vaccination records, microchipping, written health coverage, and whether the cattery can be visited. Designer Cats operates under AVS licence AS25A00005 at Vibes@Eastcoast, 308 Telok Kurau Road.

Average S$2,000–$5,000 in vet bills within year one

Frequently Asked Questions

▸Where can I buy a kitten in Singapore?

The safest place is from an AVS licensed cattery like Designer Cats (AVS AS25A00005). Alternatives include SPCA Singapore for adoption and licensed pet shops. Avoid Carousell/Gumtree "cheap kittens" — they're usually unlicensed.

▸How do I know if a cattery is legitimate in Singapore?

Check for an AVS pet shop or breeder licence (format ASxxAxxxxx), TICA/CFA registration, a physical address you can visit, written vaccination records, and a lifetime health guarantee for hereditary genetic conditions.

▸Can I buy a kitten online in Singapore?

Yes, from AVS licensed catteries with online catalogues. Designer Cats lists available kittens online and arranges in-person viewing before purchase. Never buy a kitten from a non-AVS seller online.

▸What is the best place to buy a kitten in Singapore?

For pedigree kittens with health guarantees, an AVS licensed cattery. For mixed-breed cats, SPCA Singapore or Cat Welfare Society. Designer Cats has been operating for 15+ years with TICA and AVS credentials.

▸How old should a kitten be when I buy it?

Minimum 10 weeks old, ideally 12 weeks. Kittens sold earlier than 8 weeks are illegal under AVS guidelines and have higher behavioural/health risks.
