After 13 years we stopped breeding as for most potential new owners not the special love this breed shows seemed to be their attraction but colouring, hair length, sex and age. But these factors are up to God not the breeders.

We want to thank all our loving cat owners for their support over the years and will welcome photos, emials and guest book entries. 

Our page will continue to exist.

By the way it is not correct that a longer or darker fur means certain characteristics. All of these 5 subbreeds show their close attachments to humans and may all fall in one litter. This rumor has only been started by magazines to fill their pages and is an old wives' tale just like the saying spring kittens are stronger. Of course each kitten shows loving features of its own and has its very own character, but coat or being a Siamese does not have anything to do with it, as all belong to the same family - the oriental breed /cats.

 

Two kittens are twice the joy, but not twice the trouble!

Orientals are active cats that miss their favourite persons. This is why people working out of the house all day long should always take two kittens. For them to enjoy each other's company.

A word in cattery matters

Written by Administrator

 

Aslan von Kalmar, Balinese cream-pointOn our website we will introduce to you our former kittens, youngsters, breeeding cats and neuters of all subbreeds and fur colours.  Please do not use our website like a catalogue to pick out a certain colour. We are breeders of all 5 subbreeds: oriental shorthair, oriental longhair, havana brown, Siamese and Balinese. We do not breed certain fur colours, but extremely loving, active and beautiful kittens, who would love to play and cuddle with you. Our cattery does not accept orders for certain colours, sex or breeds. We cannot foresee the future either: What will the new litter be like? Please understand that there are not any longer many breeders of oriental cats, as many cat breeders gave up due to questions like this. Breeding is an expensive hobby and for the cat breeder their beauties are more important than the buyers. We are happy to accept your application and we are exceptionally happy, if you appreciate the beauty, character, and TLC we put into our cats and their care. Because this is why we breed: So that people like you will learn how much love these precious cats have to give you.

If you are interested in one of our oriental kittens, please visit our kitten page. There we introduce each kitten individually with photos, that are always kept updated. Therefore we do not have any more.

 

Visits and Pickup

Written by Administrator

Changda von Kalmar, OKH, orientalisch Kurzhaar, cinnamon We strive to raise active, playful, loving, pert, and, above all healthy kittens and to have them ready for pick-up as arranged. For this reason conscientious breeders avoid too many visitors, resp. do not allow visitors before the kittens have had their first vaccination, which normally takes place, when they are 8 weeks old. Our cuddlers dispose of a good immune system, but at the tender baby age a cold of a visitor may suffice and the second vaccination resp., the soooooo longed for pick-up will be delayed.  That's why prospective owners should not visit catteries, if they have pets with contagious diseases at home, have just taken up a new animal or have just been at another cattery. Our sweethearts and cat family (and we) will welcome you with open paws, meows and purrs.  By the way the wisdom to take the first kitten which comes to you, does not apply to our animals, as principally all of our cuties will come to you.

   

Vaccinations and pickup

Vaccinations  

 

As we stopped breeding please see the following lines simply as a guideline what to expect from the breeder of your choice:

Our sweethearts receive two booster shots against FPL,  cat flu and rabies, are dewormed four times and chipped. If desired we will vaccinate them against leukemia. Their parents are additionally vaccinated against leukemia  and FIP. We ususally give our babies away as pets, only in special cases for breeding (but please not for breeding Thais) and exhibiting. 

 Our kittens are ready for pickup after their last vaccination. Not sooner! Because in the 8.-12. week of life the kittens learn socialising just like humans in kindergarden, e.g. sneaking up, hunting, playing with other cats. Never take a cat younger than 13 weeks in your house. Your kitten hast the right to grow up peacefully with its family. It will be yours for another 18 years. Hands off ads, advertising kittens under 13 weeks. These are black market dealers, eager for easy money. The kittens and their parents suffer the consequences as corresponding cutbacks in food, health, environment are made. See our reports in the cat corner.

 

Bargains, special offers

Bargains 

you are not going to find here, as all our purrers are raised in an appropriate environment  and receive lots of tender loving care. Vaccinations, food, litter and veterinary costs have their price, the same goes for cat furniture and respective paraphernalia. We strive to breed healthy animals with no defects and are here for our neuters. If necessary, we will get up in the middle of the night for feeding. Of course, each of our animals  has its own pedigree, the guarantee for the new owner to receive a loving cat that was kept just like its parents in an appropriate environment and whose health, welfare and happiness has been dear to us.

 

 

John Ruskin, an English social reformer (1819-1900) once said:  

Hardly anything in this world exists, that not someone can do a little worse and sell a little cheaper - and people looking just at the price will be perfect subjects for such manipulations.

It is unwise, to pay too much, but it is even worse to pay not enough. If they pay too much they lose a little bit more money, that's all. But if they pay not enough, they sometimes stand to lose everything, as the purchased object cannot fulfil the task it was meant to do.

The principle of economy does not permit to receive more value for less money.

If you accept the lowest offer, you must also count in some money for the risk that you are taking. But if you do that, you have enough money to pay for something better.

Hands off ads, which offer kittens younder than 12 weeks of age. These are black market dealers who are eager to make fast money. To sell cheaply strong cutbacks in raising kittens and their parents are made. Sometimes they are imports from east countries, where animals are kept in cages, raise their kittens there and as soon as the kittens are a few weeks of age their mother is bred again.
