Ethical, health-tested kittens raised in a loving home. Trusted by families across the USA.
Check out the short clip of our interview with Inside Edition.
My name is Jenny, and I am a nurse and a long-time cat lover. Working on the front lines of the pandemic made me realize the value of having a nonjudgmental companion after my hardest days. I searched for a breed of cats that were easygoing and cute, which led me to discover the Scottish Fold breed. I adopted two kittens, and they turned out to be the most docile and well-tempered cats we had ever met.
Ethical breeding backed by science — because every kitten deserves the healthiest start to life.
Osteochondrodysplasia is a rare genetic disease that affects Scottish Folds. When two folded-ear Scottish Folds are bred together, many of their offspring can develop a severe, crippling lameness early in life. Cats affected by this disease can have shortened, malformed legs and tails, as well as abnormalities affecting their growth plates and spine.
As responsible breeders, we are committed to the health and well-being of our animals, which is why we only breed folded-ear Scottish Folds to straight-ear cats — never fold to fold.
At Queens Scottish Fold, we take our ethical responsibilities very seriously. As a registered cattery with both ACA and TICA (The International Cat Association), we voluntarily abide by their code of ethics. Our breeding cats are genetically tested for 50 of the most lethal breed-specific diseases, including Osteochondrodysplasia (OCD) and more importantly Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) via echocardiogram.
This ensures that we are producing healthy kittens and not perpetuating any genetic disorders.
HCM is a fatal heart condition prevalent in purebred cats, notably Scottish Folds and British Shorthairs. Due to the complexity of the condition, relying on a single genetic test for carrier detection is inadequate, given the multitude of genes associated with HCM. Echocardiograms serve as the gold standard for identifying and managing HCM. While costly, these screenings are indispensable for reducing the risk of transmitting HCM to offspring. Genetic panels alone are insufficient for HCM screening — therefore, as a proactive measure, all cats in our cattery undergo yearly echocardiogram screenings.
We never breed folded-ear Scottish Folds with other folded-ear cats. We are dedicated to the health and well-being of all our cats and committed to providing them with the best possible care.
We are proud to offer a unique and personalized experience for our kittens and cats. At our cattery, we believe in providing a nurturing environment that allows our furry friends to roam freely and explore their surroundings. Unlike traditional breeders who keep their cats in cages or kennels, our kittens are raised underfoot in our home. With access to both floors and the basement, as well as their own dedicated cat bedroom, they have ample space to play, rest and explore.
Living in Queens, NY, we are fortunate to have plenty of room to dedicate to our cats. Our whole family is involved in socializing the kittens, which means they become accustomed to different people and lots of activity in the home. From an early age, we even train them to tolerate baths and nail trimming, resulting in well-adjusted, cuddly and social kitties that will quickly make themselves at home with you.
We are dedicated to ensuring the health and wellbeing of our kittens. That’s why our kittens come with age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, vet check, health certificate, health guarantee against genetic defects, and lifetime breeder support. We believe in feeding only raw feed and freeze-dried raw food to ensure a balanced diet. We have also invested in multiple filtered water fountains, scratch posts, Himalayan salt lamps (to improve air quality), air filters, Roomba vacuums and Robolitter Boxes to create a healthy and clean environment for your kitten to thrive in.
At our cattery, we don’t just see our kittens as products. When you buy a kitten from us, you become part of our family. We believe that our families form lifelong bonds and friendships, and we are committed to staying in touch with you and providing support throughout your kitten’s life. We love nothing more than watching our furry offspring grow up, and we are always here to offer advice and guidance whenever you need it.

Jaimie ParkWe adopted our second cat, a Scottish Straight, Kilo, from Queen Scottish Fold. David & Jenny were very communicative and helpful answering all our questions even after we brought our little one home. The adoption process was straightforward. No surprises as they are very clear with how the process is. It took us about 1.5 months from reserving the kitten and picking him up after recovering from his neuter surgery.Posted on Google
Grace ChenDavid and Jenny were a delight to work with. We got our Scottish straight, Domino, in March and the process was seamless from beginning to end. Domino is such a cuddly, trusting, and playful kitty - it is clear that he was treated very well.Posted on Google

Melissa OwenWe got our little bundle of joy Queens Scottish fold. I could not be more in love with him, the process was so smooth. They explained everything to us thoroughly and have been checking in to make sure that he is OK every day highly recommendedPosted on Google
alexandra marksI have always loved the Scottish fold breed, but wanted to make sure I got the kitten from a trusted, ethical breeder. After tons of researching/comparing breeders, I came across QSF. I immediately felt at ease after thoroughly reading through their website & knew I wanted to get our Scottish fold kitten from QSF. The whole process took about 3-4 months from first contact to kitten pick-up. David was excellent at communicating and sending updates which I really appreciated! We have had our kitten, Margo, for less than a week and she is the most well-adjusted, cuddliest kitten & we could not be more in love. Would absolutely recommend this breeder to family and friends!Posted on Google

Heather GartlandI love my kitten that I adopted from Queen Scottish Fold. The whole process was very easy with payment and pick up. My kitten looked just like her pictures, she looks like a little doll. Everyone who has seen her goes bonkers over her. Queen Scottish Fold has been very knowledgeable and helpful during the adoption process with excellent communication. I am definitely considering adopting another! Highly recommend this breeder.
