My name is Adra Foster, and animals have been at the center of my life for over 25 years. What began as a childhood fascination with every creature I could hold, bottle-feed, or care for slowly grew into a lifetime dedicated to animal husbandry, health, and education. From farm animals and exotics to llamas, Standard Poodles, and now Sphynx, Devon Rex, and Lykoi cats, my journey has always been rooted in the same belief: animals deserve intentional care, ethical breeding, and homes that truly understand them.

By the time I was a teenager, I was already breeding and showing llamas while attending pet nutrition courses and animal health education expos. At 18, I purchased my first pet store and spent the next decade growing two locations, adding grooming services, studying animal wellness, and expanding my understanding of genetics, nutrition, and responsible breeding practices.

When my family’s direction shifted, I realized how much I missed being hands-on with animals every day. In 2013, I brought home my first Sphynx. That moment changed everything.

Royal Velvets is a reputable TICA-registered cattery specializing in Sphynx, Devon Rex, and Lykoi kittens. We serve families in Tennessee, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and across the United States.

Our kittens are raised in our home, as part of our family, so they grow up confident, social, emotionally aware, and bonded to people from the beginning. Every kitten receives daily handling, exposure to normal household rhythms, early socialization, enrichment, and individualized attention.

Families consistently tell us they can feel the difference the moment they meet a Royal Velvets kitten.

We stay connected long after your kitten goes home because raising a healthy, stable, well-adjusted cat doesn’t end at 14/16 weeks, it continues with the family who loves them.
