We are a family with four children, all of whom have a passion for spending time with animals. During the early years, we lived on acreage where we raised dairy goats and sheep. When we moved into town, our children became involved with 4-H and the world of rabbits and ARBA. Because of our passion for animals, we became known as the family who fostered and rehomed local strays and orphaned feral kittens. Through our rescue and placement work, we became very involved in the care of abandoned kittens. It was from this experience that we learned more about cats and discovered the amazing world of cats! We then joined CFA and TICA, where we found a wealth of information and links to other cat fanciers.

We spent a few years learning about showing and breeding before we decided on which breed we would like to adopt. It was a very difficult choice because there are so many amazing breeds out there. However, we finally settled on the British Shorthair and the Scottish Fold, two breeds that share a great deal of history and can be cross-bred with each other. Our reasons were that they are basically old world farm cats. They are very sturdy in build, solid in temperament, and have a relaxed personality.
