Hi has anyone ever used a Teaser Tom for their Queen? I'm just wondering if their are reputable breeders that offer those services and I'm curious to know how much the service may cost? Any information is much appreciated. Thank you

Teaser Tom

What is it? Is if something to try and provoke forward a heat? If so, there are other tricks. For example, having some used litter. Or your socks or T-shirt, used on the floor where the fertile tom lives. Essentially any, healthy, fertile tom. Must be healthy you dont want to risk to draw into your home any viruses.
E-vitamine does also helps sometimes.
Not knowing what YOU mean by teaser tom, I could imagine your stud is bad at courting, barely knowing how to mate, and or he is very costly payed per hour.
And you want help with the traditional courting, to get the female perfect and ready, laying down just for the costly stud to do his task.
Of such I dont have any experience. My both boys were good courtiers both of them, and did all the ground work necessary themselves, even if it took several days, till they noticed she was ready and layed down immediately when they moved on her. (thus, no violence save the holding on her neck skin) And of course, they were always good friends afterwards. Which btw, is one of the symtoms showing the mating was done succesfully, even if you couldnt hear nor witness anything.
Of course, not all studs are that gentle. In our case them being gentle was a heavy part of the reason we did allowed them to be studs.
If they took theyir females by sheer force, they would be neutered directly.

I believe a teaser tom is a vasectomized tom to bring a female out of heat without pregnancy.
You'd want him to be tested for stuff like FeLV/FIV because STDs can be spread even if he's not fertile. I'm not sure if many respectable breeders will "rent out" their vasectomized tom because of the risk of disease.

I was reading up on this and about how long you can safely leave a Queen unmated.... Unlike dogs who can go years entire without mating, apparently cats are far more prone to things like pyometra.
My mentor said for entire Queen she says it's best to breed a couple of litters then get them spayed, and if you really do not want that best to breed at least once a year from any particular female.
Using a teaser tom has good and bad.... Good is the queen will stop cycling for about 2 months, the bad is she is far more susceptible to infection of her reproductive tract.
