Aim:
We commit to have continuous improvement on developing healthy, quality BSH for the purpose of show and as home pet.
Vision of Keeping Cats:
There are three domains of keeping cats. First, the cat is as a lovely pet to accompanying with human. Then the personality of the cats is important to the owners. Second, the cat is for attending show besides of home pet. Then the pedigree line improvement is a long-term and never ending process, which needs a clear objectives to govern the breeding strategy, so that the fruitful result is expected. Third, the cat is for breeding. Then the quality of the cat must fulfill the breed standard. However, the small population, though seem to be fast growing, of pedigree cat community, meanwhile lack of cat show opportunities in Hong Kong, threatens the development of fine quality cats for show in local. But this learning curve can be complement with some helpful overseas catteries to form a positive closed-loop.
Mission Statement:
We are a CFA registered cattery focusing on British Shorthair. We enjoy developing BSH kittens of sweet character and let them entering cat show. We find great satisfaction as the kittens grow up.
Cattery Policy:
We maintain very limited coverage of color for better resource allocation. Our breeding strategies are exclusively managed for best possible kittens with predictable character. Experiences come from patience.
We will not hurry to expand our breeding program. Our kittens would have regular vet check and proper vaccination protocol.
We won't sell kittens under the age of thirteen weeks.
We will not sell cats to commercial cat agents, retail pet dealers, or directly given as a prize or donation in a contest of any kind.
