Home of Scottish Fold felines

My cattery is a retirement hobby (to keep me out of trouble).  I'm raising Scottish Folds because I love their personalities. I love their prairie dog stance when they're interested in something high up.  I do have a British Shorthair and American Shorthairs for breeding purposes with the Folds. All of my cats are registered with CFA.

I have recently purchased a red Tabby Scottish Male Fold.  He comes from CheshirSmile cattery.  Thanks Olga and thanks Vicki & Peter for transporting this cutie to me.  He will be a main stud when he's older.  A couple of months later I got a gray Male Fold and again, thank you Olga, Vicki & Peter.

I have recently leased a shaded silver American Shorthair female from Howard of Clowntown Cats here in Phoenix.  Thanks for all your help Howard.  He also gave me a green-eyes white American Shorthair female.  I just can't wait for Dearg to grow enough to sire kittens.

All of my cats are indoor cats only because I do not declaw them, nor do I want them in fights and hurt or catching a dreadful disease.  They will also keep me company and might be better than kids (as my husband once told me......."at least Kelly (our cat at the time) hasn't hurt my feelings like the kids have." )

Scottish Folds

Here's some information on Folds:  Date of origin ~ 1961 in Scotland.  Came from a farm cat named Suzie.  The most distinguishing characteristic of a Fold is it's small ears which fold forward and downward, giving them an impish look.  They are sweet-tempered and attentive, devoted and not demanding.  The Fold can be outcrossed with both American and British Shorthair cats or bred with a straight-eared Fold.

They are medium sized cats.  They have large round broadly spaced eyes, well-rounded whisker pads and a short nose with a gentle curve in profile.  They come in both long and short-haired varieites.

The kittens are not born with folded ears.  The ears that carry the gene usually start folding around the 21st day.

The British Shorthair:

 

 Here's some information on British Shorthairs:  Their date of origin is in the 1880's in Great Brittain.  They came from Chinchilla Shorthairs.  They're compact and well muscled.  Their thick undercoats keeps them warm on cold days.  Their fur is the most beautiful fur I've seen on cats, the fur glistens when the light hits it just right.

Although Brits have a gentle disposition, they do not like being handled too much.  Sunny is content to sit at my feet when I'm on the computer and loves it when I pet him with my feet.  He really is an enjoyable cat.

 
 

AMERICAN SHORTHAIRS:

Facts:
« Date of Origin ~ 1904
« Place of Origin ~ United States
« Came From ~ American and British Shorthair


Description: This easy going cat is more common in the United States and Canada then anywhere else. They were called the Domestic Shorthair until 1965.

Their thick, hard coats are dense enough to protect them from moisture, cold, and superficial injuries. They have a full cheeked face and a muscular body. Although they still share similarities with household cats their breeders goal is to try and produce the best of these qualities.

We arrived September 23, 2009.

The cattery is in the process of notifying people on the waiting list.  When we've gone through the list, then they'll be available to newer requests.  See our pictures in the nursery photo album.
