Yarik is the heart and big gentle soul of our cattery. He is the kind of cat who will come over and nudge your hand, follow you from room to room, and insist on being where you are, a true velcro boy. He is affectionate in the sweetest, most uncomplicated way and has a reliably calm, people-loving temperament.
He began his show career with a Triple Grand Champion title at his first show and has collected many regional and international awards since, with his highest title being Quadratic Grand Champion. Over the years Yarik has sired many beautiful kittens, all showing his lovely looks and, even more importantly, his wonderful temperament.

KING
Colour: Blue Silver Shaded Point (AS1133)
• TICA Champion
• TICA 10th Best Shorthair Champion - Sept 14, 2025
Tom is a proud homebred, a true result of our breeding programme! We were delighted when he earned his Champion title at his very first show.
He has an exceptionally gentle and sensitive nature. Tom is naturally shy, especially in unfamiliar environments, but once settled, he is quietly affectionate and deeply people-oriented.
He expresses his bond in subtle, heart-warming ways such as soft head bumps, slow blinks, and choosing to stay close rather than demanding attention. He is calm, non-reactive, and very well-mannered with other cats, bringing a peaceful and steady presence to his surroundings.
Physically he’s impressive: big bone structure, a dense, plush coat, and striking blue eyes that always catch attention. He is a beautiful blend of substance, sweetness, and gentle, sensitive temperament, and we are truly proud of him!

Sangria is one of our homebred girls and a naturally nurturing mother. She has a soft, gentle presence and a deep, trusting bond with us at home. While she may take a moment to warm up to new people, she becomes incredibly affectionate once she recognizes you as part of her circle.

QUEEN

Even after becoming a mother, she still carries the cheerful energy of a kitten and loves turning anything into a small game. She is lively, curious, and always the first to investigate new toys or new visitors. Dora has a fun, youthful spirit that makes her incredibly endearing, and her kittens often inherit her strong frame and charming liveliness. She brings a fresh, joyful vibe to our home every day.
QUEEN
Name: Bobo
Breed: British Shorthair
Colour: Black Silver Chinchilla (NS12)
Bobo is a homebred girl with a uniquely enchanting coat. Although she is silver, her fur carries a gentle golden glow that many describe as “sunshine” coloring. This rare warmth comes from her golden shaded father, who has since retired, making her appearance even more special. She has striking green eyes, elegant facial features, and a very sweet and balanced temperament. Bobo is both calm and observant, often sitting quietly to watch everything around her. Her unique beauty and gentle nature make her an unforgettable presence in our cattery.
QUEEN

Nana is extremely tidy, gentle, and easygoing, making her one of our most well-mannered girls. Her expressive green eyes and delicate features give her a sweet, innocent look that perfectly matches her temperament. She brings warmth and harmony into any room, and she is happiest when sitting close to her humans.
QUEEN

Kalila is a stunning girl with deep blue eyes and a soft, glowing coat. She attended kitten shows when she was young, so she is confident, well-socialized, and comfortable with traveling and new environments. Despite having seen more of the world than most cats her age, she still has a pure, innocent, and endearingly gentle personality. Kalila loves attention and enjoys being spoken to, often responding with soft chirps. Her graceful demeanor and warm sweetness make her a very special part of our Queen family.
Future QUEEN

• TICA 4th Best Shorthair Kitten - Sept 14, 2025
Hazel is a third-generation homebred girl, the daughter of Tom and Dora. She carries their best qualities: a strong bone structure, a sweet expression, and a calm, affectionate nature. Hazel attended shows in 2025 and handled everything with ease, relaxed and friendly throughout the entire experience. Even as a kitten, her balanced proportions and gentle temperament stood out to everyone who met her. She continues to grow into a lovely, harmonious blend of her parents’ strengths, and her naturally sweet, chill personality makes her an exciting future Queen.
Our Retired Cats
Explore the regal retirees who have graced our cattery with their majestic presence in our Retired Kings and Queens section. Each one has contributed to the legacy of our feline family, and we celebrate their years of love, companionship, and exceptional breeding.
While most have found their forever families, continuing their lives in comfort and happiness, a select few remain here with us in the cattery, enjoying their well-deserved retirement in the familiar warmth and care they've always known.
We prioritize their post-breeding well-being, ensuring that each retiree undergoes neutering or spaying, along with comprehensive health exam and ultrasonic teeth cleansing, allowing them to fully savor the joys of life after their dedicated breeding service.
