I"ve Long been committed to providing not just social, pretty babies, bred to standard, but kitties as healthy as possible. For almost 25 years now I've been doing cardio screening. When I started, I dreaded it. Even though I had cats from all over the country and all the "big name" catteries.. I found that every line carried it. I thought about giving up, it was so heartbreaking. Instead, I changed the way I bred. I kept healthy cats longer, I tested and tested again. I have two wonderful Cardiologist and my main Cardiologist has worked with UC Davis trying to DNA identify the gene that causes this issue. I've sent in samples and scans and mentored new breeders stressing the need to these things. Today I did the rest of the cats for the year (minus 2 who the vet just couldn't fit in and will be done in a few weeks) Once again.. all the kids were clean and healthy. This made me incredibly happy, especially as some were lines that I had imported to strengthen my program. 3 were babies from 2 years ago.. but the others were all 5 years or older. I remember the days when I had kittens popping up at 4 months with cardio, now.. I have cats that are 5, 6, 7 years of age all still clean. It's why EVERY breeder should be testing, because things like PKD and HCM are real and in this breed and without testing, you just don't know if you have "healthy" cats or not. I'm sure I will see this disease raise it's ugly head again at some point.. but I"m doing all I can to prevent this and there's no better feeling then knowing your little ones are healthy! Check back as we have some very exciting breedings planned now that everyone has passed their testing for the year!

CHILLI AND BAS HAD 3 LOVELY LITTLE BOYS - A SOLID BLACK (SOLD) A BROWN MACKERAL TABBY AND A BLUE SPOTTED TABBY (BOTH UNDER OBSERVATION OF CATTERY AS I'M NEUTERING DAD AND RETIRING HIM) ONE OF THE TABBY BOYS WILL BE AVAILABLE, JUST NOT SURE WHICH YET, SO IF YOU'RE INTESTED, JUST LET ME KNOW. UPDATE: WHILE I REALLY LIKED THE IDEA OF THE DILUTE GENE, THE BROWN TABBY IS JUST TOO NICE NOT TO KEEP SO THE BLUE SPOTTED TABBY IS AVAILABLE.

Max is a lovely chocolate lynx point boy who's ready to retire now that his son is starting to breed. He's a small boy, only about 7 1/2 pounds, with a big loving personality. He's been a wonderful dad for me, producing some great kittens, including last years South West region's BEST Kitten and Best Fold Kitten Internationally. Now, he deserves to just be someone's baby with a bed to sleep on and lots of loving. He can be a little alpha personality so would do better as an only cat or with females... is good with dogs. He loves being brushed, has tested clear for HD and HCM and will be UTD on vaccines and altered prior to leaving.

BEAN IS A LOVELY LITTLE 2 YEAR OLD SILVER/WHITE GIRL. SHE'S OUT OF MY DARLING IW TOY AND IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. UNFORTUNATELY SHE TESTED OUT AS "B" BLOOD AND THAT IS SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH, ESPECIALLY WITH A GIRL SO SHE WILL BE RETIRED. B BLOOD MEANS NOTHING AS A PET, ONLY A CONCERN WHEN BREEDING AS CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THE KITTENS. SHE'S VERY HEALTHY AND JUST PASSED HER SECOND CARDIO SCREENING. SHE'S A BIT BOSSY AT TIMES BUT LIKES HER ATTENTION JUST REALIZES SHE'S GORGEOUS AND THE QUEEN! SHE WILL BE UTD ON VACCINES AND IS GOOD WITH DOGS (OK.. SHE PRETTY MUCH JUST IGNORES THEM).

DISCLAIMER: KITTENS ARE ACTUALLY MUCH SMALLER THAN THE APPEAR. I CROP PICS TO SHOW OFF THE KITTEN, BUT IT DOES MAKE THEM LOOK BIGGER, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE WHO COMES TO PICK UP THEIR BABY EXCLAIMS "OHHH HE/SHE IS SO MUCH SMALLER THAN I THOUGHT" BUT YES.. YOU ARE STILL GETTING A LITTLE BABY WHEN YOU GET YOURS
If you are interested in any of the kittens above or want to be put on a waiting list for something else, the first step is to fill out the questionnaire IN FULL below. I will contact you to further discuss what you're looking for in a new family addition. Just because a kitten is shown above does not mean anyone with money can purchase it. I carefully screen all my homes and reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone that I don't think would be a good fit. To reserve a kitten a $250 non refundable deposit is required. All kittens leave fully vaccinated, dewormed, altered & with a contract/health guarantee.
