Chamsey
Has this breeder been Cat Kingpin Certified? No See our Certified Breeder Agreement
Because my cats are raised as part of my family, and have full run of the condo, my cattery is small in numbers. I do not cage my cats and as mentioned they are all over the place! This includes sharing my bed, my computer and, at times, my shower. People food is not shared though they still try to change my mind on that one.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
