Dolly turned a year old on June 12 and is taking applications for her forever home. She is a brown patch tabby and white girl that I imported from Turron’s breeder (if you follow this page, you may have seen him). She is happy and healthy with an endearing personality. She loves people and other cats. She is affectionate and a champion biscuit maker! Please message me if you would like to add this little purring machine to your family.

We have kittens! Crystal x Nikos gave us 3 big baby boys, two red tabbies and one black. Mom and kittens are doing great. One red boy will be available later.

We are expecting!! Crystal and Clarice have both been bred to Nikos and are confirmed pregnant. Crystal is due in a week or so and Clarice towards the end of the month. I plan to keep a few kittens but will have several available later this summer. Stay tuned for pictures!!

Crystal wants you to see her big belly while Clarice is a little more modest. Nikos is a brown tabby so we can get a wide variety of colors including some solids and dilutes.

While we are waiting for our girls to cycle this spring and be bred, I have decided to retire Cartel and continue her line with her daughter Libby and her sister Crystal. Cartel turned 2 last month, is up to date on her vaccines, health checked regularly by my vet and will be spayed before she goes. She comes from a long line of healthy champion CFA and TICA registered cats and is the daughter of IW SGC Dark Diamond’s Reuben of Rivabell x RW DClass Poppy of Rivabell. She is a brown patch tabby exotic shorthair. Please contact me if interested!

Here at my house, there is no separate “cattery”. The girls and all spayed/neutered cats have the run of the house and my intact boy lives in the bedroom that is my home office. Therefore we don’t have a Christmas tree…. Haha!

Friends who feed Farmina and/or are getting a kitten from me: Chewy is having another special if you order $100 worth of certain products, they will give you a $30 gift card and the Farmina foods are included. I feed it to my adults and kittens and just stocked up. You can place 3 orders per account. They also have cute Christmas toys and lots of other things as part of the deal including Churu treats if you use those. Happy shopping! 🎄😻🎉

This gorgeous blue kitten is ready to be reserved. I’m going to say he is a Persian although to be honest he isn’t as fluffy as I would expect at 7 weeks and it’s possible he is just a exotic SH with a bit more coat. If coat length doesn’t matter to you but personality does, you want this baby! He is funny and endearing! He is the first one to greet me and likes to sleep on the bed next to me. He is more engaging than his littermates at this age (7 weeks yesterday). I just love him but cannot keep another boy right now. PM me if interested. He will be ready to go home in mid January.

This is the fountain that I use for my cats. It’s stainless so super easy to sanitize and I find that it keeps their faces and chest much drier. I have two and am getting another. With the $10 coupon, it’s under $20.

The same process is used for asking about kittens and adults. I’ve modified it here to apply to both.

🔹How to get a Rivabell cat or kitten 🔹

If you are interested in a cat or kitten, please PM me and tell me a little about yourself, your lifestyle and other pets, your experience with cats and why you want an exotic shorthair or Persian. Feel free to ask me questions as well. If it seems like we might be able to make a match, I will email you a questionnaire to fill out and send back. Then we can talk on the phone. Only after that would I accept a non-refundable deposit for a particular cat or kitten with the balance due at pick up. My kittens are not available for breeding and must be spayed/neutered. Retired adults will already be altered before adoption. I’m happy to answer any questions you have for me at any time, whether I have anything available or not. I’m in Richmond Va and in general I don’t ship but if you aren’t able to come here, we may be able to find a pet nanny to deliver at your expense. Thanks for being a part of this page!

All kittens are currently reserved. I’ll post when I have another one available. I do have a couple of retired adults who are ready for new homes. Please PM if you would consider a 2-5 year old instead of a baby. Thanks!

* How to get a Rivabell kitten*

I’m getting ready to post some available kittens but before I do, I wanted to describe a little about how the process works.

We are just over 3 weeks old! Mom will be making some decisions soon about who might be available. Stay tuned!

13/10/2023

We are two weeks old today! Three boys and two girls. Some will be available later. I’ll post as I decide who is staying here to be shown.

Update: Trinket is reserved for Shelly! And Elton is reserved for Ray and Debbie!

These are likely our last two kittens available this season. Trinket (tortie girl) and Elton (tabby boy) are sweet, friendly and healthy. They have had two sets of vaccines and will need their third one next month. Their parents represent my best pedigrees and I am super proud of both their quality and their personalities. Would you like one of these babies to curl up on your lap as the days get shorter and the nights get cooler? Pm me! Located in Richmond VA

04/08/2023

Update: Both kittens are reserved!

These two girlies are looking for their forever homes, either together or separately. They are super sweet, healthy and happy kittens. 12 weeks old, have received age appropriate vaccines and will be spayed before going to their new families. My Cattery is TICA and CFA registered and health tested. This litter represents years of showing and dedication to the breed and I’m incredibly proud of them. Please contact me for more info!

Nikita is available! This brown tabby exotic shorthair gal is 12 weeks old and will be ready to go home after her spay appointment next month. She is sweet and mischievous, the first kitten to escape the kitten room and go play with the big cats. She loves toys and laps. Rivabell Cattery is TICA and CFA reg, health tested, located in Richmond VA

These muffins will be 7 weeks old tomorrow so today was moving day to bigger digs! We have two tabby boys available to forever pet homes. Please contact me for more info and an application. I’m in Richmond VA and kittens will be neutered before leaving around 12 weeks of age. Thanks

22/06/2023

Update: Reserved!

Available kitten! This darling brown tabby boy is accepting applications for his forever home. He is outgoing and sweet. All kittens do better with a buddy so a home with another cat or having him go with a littermate is preferred. He will be up to date on vaccines and neutered before he is ready to go to his new home, probably mid August.

To be considered, please PM me and we can chat!

6.5 weeks old. Cartel is so patient with them. They are eating wet and dry kitten food but she still goes in to love on them and allows them to nurse a little.

4 weeks old today! The milk bar is pretty crowded.
