From the breeder:

Cattery began in 1974. My daughter, Michelle, who is now co-owner of cattery was literally born in a house of cats. She went to most of the cat shows with me and as a young girl would steward the judging rings and later in her teens she started clerking and hospitality at the cat shows. We are able to raise kitties at separate homes and still share the passion together.

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.
