I was early in life enamored with these lovely and charming oriental shorthair cats.My oriental shorthair cats got elderly and passed away as adults. The loss of these devoted friends and companions crushed me. I was saddened to discover that wedge-headed oriental shorthairs, which are now the new designer variety, were the only vintage oriental shorthair cats I could find to bring back into my life. It took me a whole year to locate a traditional kitty. During that period, I made the decision that I could never live without these vintage oriental shorthair cats that have captured my heart. As a result, I started a breeding business to protect these uncommon and magnificent oriental shorthair kittens.

quality and We try to find the best possible families for our oriental shorthair kittens. We pay attention to our breeding quality, choose our breeders in order to improve the lines and produce oriental shorthair kittens to the requirements of the breed standard.
We also have kittens who are hypoallergenic. This means that if you or anyone among your family or your friends has cat allergies, they should be able to be around one of our hypoallergenic kittens and not react.No destructive, neurotic or cross-eyed cats are ever used for breeding. We breed only the best of the best, which are cats that have never been ill, have naturally outgoing, calm, and highly intelligent personalities, and are beautiful. We mention beauty last because we believe that the most important trait for a companion cat is personality. It is wonderful to have a beautiful cat, but far more important to have a fabulous friend. Our goal is to match you with the kitten that suits you best.
mind that we don’t really have any set hours, we answer e-mails whenever possible. Therefore a kitten can be available one minute and sold the next, so we like to remind everyone we do not hold kittens without a deposit.We are generally speaking to more than one person at a time about each available kitten.Keep in mind each kitten is unique, and no two are exactly the same.

No, we do not sell nor have interest in selling kittens for breeding purposes. All our kittens leave our home with an altering (spayed or neutered) agreement PERIOD. The reason for this is that we do not want to contribute to the irresponsible breeding of cats. There are enough kittens/cats in animal shelters. We have also found that not all breeders are created equal and we are very strict as to who gets our breeding lines. We would like to keep our lines pure, as well as genetically diversified and giving our breeding lines to others carries the risk of lines concentrating, inbreeding and future genetic problems to the breed as a whole.We have seen this occur in the past and the effect in lack of new breeding stock for the future, which can be very detrimental to the breed. We also do not feel it is fair to "pass on" breeding stock to irresponsible breeders that just care in producing kittens without contributing to the breed positively.There could be exceptions to this rule depending on our present breeding program but we feel it is best to enforce it for the sake of the breed and to avoid problems with other “breeders” of cats. Please keep in mind that cats with "breeder rights" are not pet priced due to the seriousness and granted rights to breed them and at times can be up to 2x-3x the regular pet price.
