How we got started
We started off with our first Himalayan around 1995. Missy our first cat unfortunately had problems with breeding but we kept a kitten to start our cattery with. Missy is now in retirement and living outside of Somerset. Princess, who is in the photo gallery, was the kitten we kept. We bottlefed her from birth and she was our baby. She gave us many kittens including Squiggles, who is still with us. Princess developed a medical problem so she has retired and is now living in a wonderful pet home where she's getting the treatment she needs. As time went on and I discovered different colors, I just had to add on to my cat family and we expanded into doing Persians. Then we learned that breeding is all about improving the standard and showing so starting in 2003 we started developing our program in that direction. We still get pet kittens but hope to be producing more breeder/show kittens.

Why Choose Our Cattery
I realize as you are looking at my cattery you are also looking at many others. I am a stay-at-home mom of two kids and several cats and kittens. Our cats are treated like our family and given lots of love and attention. I am dedicated to finding the best homes for my kittens. I'm almost always at home and very easy to reach through the week. I check my emails almost hourly, if I'm not already on the net, and answer emails back almost always within in a day if not minutes. I send as many pics as you ask for since I have my own digital camara. If you're just a new pet owner I will do everything I can to assist you with information to the best of my knowledge in caring for your new kitten and will be available long after the sale. If you're looking to start a new cattery or start showing I'd be glad to assist you the best I can. And if you are an existing cattery then hopefully I have what you are looking for to add to your program. I encourage new owners to keep in touch and to send me pics which I place in the photo gallery. So I hope you'll choose my cattery for your next new member of your family or breeding program.



Pricing and other Info

We are a CFA registered cattery. We are also a Felv/Fiv tested cattery. We are PKD aware and do intend to test our cattery. Our kittens are sold with a health guarantee and contract. We are also a member of the Iams select breeder club. Your kitten comes with the Iams kitten pack, first set of shots, and a vet check. Kittens sold as pets do come with papers. Breeders of course come with papers including the pin #. Pricing on pet kittens will range from 400-600 and breeders will depend on quality but will be between 800-1000.  Breeder/show kittens price will vary on quality and pedigree but you're looking between 1200-2000. I do accept NONREFUNDABLE deposits of 100 to hold pet kittens until they're ready to go to their new homes between 10-12 weeks of age.  Show kittens are often held longer to determine quality and amount of deposit will be determined later. 

Please understand that this is just a hobby.  I don't make a profit off of this.  There is a lot of expense including vet expenses that goes into the care of a cattery.  If you add up all the litter, cat and kitten food, electric bill to run the air purifiers and dehumifier, etc, water bill to bathe them, vaccination, vet bills, and medications, and all other small expenses too numereous to mention.   That doesn't mention all the expense that goes into showing (hotels, gas, entry fees).  I do this for the fun of breeding and showing cats.  Please keep it fun for me.  If you can't understand and can't afford my pricing please don't waste my time or yours.


We do ship using Delta Dash or Northwest which costs around 250, this does include a carrier and health certificate.  For extreme faced persians temperatures must be below 70 for Delta or 75 for Northwest.  In the summer months I can use Continental because they have no temperature requirements.  Even though their shipping price is cheaper I still charge the same because I have to travel farther to the airport.  If you are close enough for delivery or just don't like the idea of shipping, I also do deliveries for a gas fee. I'm willing to meet halfway as long as I can make the trip in one day though I'd be willing to go farther if you paid all expenses (such as my hotel room). I attempt to place as many kittens as I can in one area so that everyone can just split the expenses.  One of my most common spots in Asheville, NC.  Also I can work out meeting you when I travel to shows.  So if you live in Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, there's a chance I might be coming to a show near you.    I do most of my shipping on Sat or Sun.
