We do not have our cattery open for visits when having kittens, we put health managment first, always, and we hope for your understanding in our policies concerning to limit health risks and stress for all cats in our cattery.
Health pressure and what a visit induces:
Working with living things means agreeing to work with viruses, parasites, fungi . . . and all of this can be treated, all of this can be resolved, all of this can be contained / limited! but it comes at a price . . .
A financial price, a price in time, a price in physical, mental, moral efforts. You don't see this because breeders never talk about it.
But know that this is the other side of the coin and that we, breeders, especially cat breeders, work very hard all year round to reduce health pressure in our catteries.
Why are we closed:
Because you may not know it but, you can carry viruses, bacteria, fungal spores on your clothes, on your skin, under your shoes. And in a breeding facility, like in a movie theater, it can quickly turn into a cluster and a disaster!
Stress management:
You do not realize it, we do not always realize it ourselves as breeders but every event that is out of the ordinary generates stress in cats. Small, medium, large stress, the cat is a very sensitive animal that can react intensely to an event that seems insignificant to us.
A change in litter scent can cause uncleanliness in some cats. . . so imagine the stress of a mother who is forced to have a new visitor every week in the nursery because they need/want to come and fiddle with her babies!?
Our commitment towards you as a future buyer:
we update the litterpage almost every day, show the progress and development of each kitten in the litter, we show you all cats in the cattery and their enviroment in pictures as well, in no way we try to hide from insight of our home, instaed you should be aware that we are closed for the priority of the health of our cats and kittens.
All kittens raised in our home with us to learn to be social, we believe it is important for a little kitten from the beginning
We do not use or have a waitinglist

No kitten is sold neutered or sterilized or have any restrictions or regulations from us and the buyer is free to decide the future for them selves, we hope to be included in such decisions about matings and kittens and the only time a kitten has a restriction is when it has an actual fault, not allowed for show or breeding.
By saying this, to buy a female and start breeding or just have one litter is not as easy as just put one female together with a male. Not all know the long time that is required to plan, find a good matching male, pay the fee for studservice, tests that is required before mating on both female and male, education for yourself, memebership in a catclub to be able to require pedigrees, showing and preparing for new kittens, a savings capital for unforeseen expenses in case the female becomes ill, perhaps a caesarean section is needed and then the costs skyrocket and all that is needed to raise a litter from 1 kitten to 8.
A female in heat can be very frustrating and sure one reason to spay/neuter.For one litter the planning from start from day 1 to the day the kittens are ready to move is around 7-8 month.
Have a male for stud and lend to owners of matching females, often buyers don't realize when males mature they can change from a cosy loving kitten that starts to mark you whole home, pee in your bed, carpets, sofas, yes, you name it. Most of the male buyers ends up with a castration just because of that.
To become a breeder is a dedication towards the breed you want to help forward in the future, if you decide to go on you will be rewarded with the satisfaction of having done all your best to put theese small 4legged creatures to the world to enjoy others.
Our kittens are primarily sold as companion cats, we make no guarantees for quality in exhibition or breeding.
All kittens priced €2800
exceptions for kittens with visable fault not allowed for breeding are priced €1800
Kittens are to be picked up at our home or, at buyers expence, be delivered by us to the new owner anywere.
