Has this breeder been Cat Kingpin Certified? No See our Certified Breeder Agreement
My children and I fell in love with this breed at a CFA show while looking for a cat for our family. Out of hundreds of cats at this show my two young children both agreed on a solid chocolate Ocicat my children named Mikey. We enjoyed all the cat shows and the people that we met along the way and after a year of showing Mikey my daughter decided that she would like to show in the Premier class of CFA.

Creating and developing beautiful, healthy, loving and playful Ocicats is very rewarding. Seeing a beautiful wild looking cat with a ‘pussycat’ temperament is the greatest. I chose Ocicats because of the wild look, mild temperament and playful attitude. I believe they would make a wonderful addition to anyone’s home.

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.
