Calumet Cats Ocicats
Has this breeder been Cat Kingpin Certified? No See our Certified Breeder Agreement
A small cattery. The cattery is named for the famous Calumet Farms and consequently my cats are often named for racehorses. My Ocicats are healthy, genetically diverse and bred to be show winners. But they make great pets too. I have been preserving the Ocicat for many years. My love of the breed is for its outgoing and playful personality, as well as its wild look without the need for wild blood.

SpotOn Ocicats
Has this breeder been Cat Kingpin Certified? No See our Certified Breeder Agreement
I strive to breed the best quality cats that I can with the genetics I have been blessed to work with. I have National and Regional winning lines. I put selection pressure on type, spot size and contrast. Health and disposition are a must and a given. I do not raise my kittens in cages. I have them running underfoot and they are with my Australian Shepherd so dogs are not a problem with them. I normally have kittens available a couple times a year but if you are looking for a retired show or breeder cat, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I have a few available now that are seeking forever homes.

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.
