A small high quality cattery
We are a small cattery that bases our breeding on what the cat associations around the world describe as the breed standard
for the Scottish Fold and British Shorthair cat breeds. The nature of our business is to promote two very unique breeds of cat,
one of which is hardly ever seen. We are looking for those individuals who are looking for such the breed of cat and will give
them the home with love and care that they deserve. We will have four levels of quality each being, pet quality, show quality,
show/breeding quality, breeding quality. Each being determined on how well each kitten develops into the breed standard.

TICA & CFA Show quality Cats
We are breeders of the Scottish Fold cats which were found on a farm in Scotland by William Ross. The first Scottish Fold
named Susie was found in 1961. The Scottish Fold was brought over to the US in 1964, Was introduced into the cat fancy and
gained recognition in 1978. Every Scottish Fold cat can trace their heritage back to Susie. We have both A and B type blood
lines, we are going to be developing the B line more exclusively.
We also breed the British Shorthair cats which were introduced into Great Brittan when the Romans invaded. We breed the
British Shorthairs, not only to have other British Shorthairs but also breed them into our Scottish Fold lines so that we do not
have the severe defects that can occur if you breed two Scottish Folds together. We have both A and B type blood lines. Currently
we have a A female and a B male. All of our queens kittens currently will not be going to breeders because of the blood line. We
will be having new breeding queens with B bloodline next year 2010 by HMS Brits.
We belong to The International Cat Association (T.I.C.A.),TICA The International Scottish Fold Association, The British Shorthair
Association, and Cat Fanciers Association (C.F.A.) We travel all over California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and New
Mexico showing our cats at shows.

| Scottish Fold History |
In 1961 a shepherd by the name of William
Ross spotted the first known Scottish Fold
cat at a far near Coupar Angus in the Tayside
Region of Scotland, NW of Dundee. Ross
asked the owners if he could have one of the
kittens, and proceeded to develop the breed
from the original, Susie, a white barn cat. The
unique thing about this cat was that her ears
folded forward and downward on her head.
The resulting look gave the impression of a
"pixie","owl", or 'teddy bear" that has captured

from the original, Susie, a white barn cat. The
unique thing about this cat was that her ears
folded forward and downward on her head.
The resulting look gave the impression of a
"pixie","owl", or 'teddy bear" that has captured
the hearts of many American cat fanciers and judges. The Scottish Fold was granted championship status in 1976 by TICA and
in 1978 by CFA. Over the last two decades the Scottish Fold has developed a look all its own...even though allowed to
outcrosses include the American Shorthairs and British Shorthairs. The Fold is a medium cat with a rounded, well-padded body
and a short, dense, and resilient coat. It has large, round, broadly spaced eyes full of sweetness;well-rounded whisker pads and
a short nose with a gentle curve in profile.
Due to the rarity of the Fold, AND due to the fact that not every kitten will develop folded ears it is very hard for the supply to keep
up with the demand for this breed.
Scottish Folds are hardy cats, have a sweet disposition. They have tiny voices and are not extremely vocal. They adore human
companionship and display this in their own quiet way.
Scottish Folds adapt to almost any home situation and are comfortable in a room full of noisy children and dogs as they are in a
single person's dwelling. They don't usually panic at shows or in a strange hotel room, they adjust to other animals extremely
well.
Scottish Folds can come in a multitude of different colors and patterns, eighteen in all. There are some color patterns that CFA
does not accept, but TICA will.

| British Shorthair |
Perhaps the oldest natural English breed, the British Shorthair
lines go back to the domestic cats of Roman times, which might
explain the wide assortment of colors (eighteen) you can choose
from.
The British Shorthair was a comparatively rare cat in the United
States until about 1980, when they were recognized for
championship status by TICA in 1979 and CFA in 1980. Over the
last few years, many beautiful cats have been imported from
Australia, This helps widen the gene pool here.
Pricing on British Shorthairs usually depends in each individual
kitten's bloodlines, type and markings.
They do tend to be reserved, in fact, typically British by nature, but
when they have overcome their initial shyness they are devoted
cats, and make ideal companions, not being too demanding, but
very lovable.

The British Shorthair is a compact, well-balanced and powerful, showing good depth of body, a full broad chest, short to medium
strong legs, rounded paws, tail thick at base with a rounded tip. The head is round with good width between the ears, round
cheeks, firm chin, medium ears, large round and well-opened eyes, and medium broad nose. The coat is short and very dense.
Males have those extremely large jowls. Breed takes up to five years to fully mature. Are not shown very often until they reach full
maturity unless they develop early such as ours.
