We Now Raise Balinese
I am very excited to announce that we have recently begun raising Traditional Balinese. We have added a beautiful, soft, cuddly Balinese (Garnet) to our breeding program and I have completely fallen in love with this breed! This breed seems to be very calm with one of the sweetest temperaments! They have such soft, beautiful meows and luxurious coats. The Siamese breed is already so incredibly amazing, but the gorgeous Long Hair of a Balinese adds so much more unquiness and awe to the breed. This breed is hypoallergenic as well. Did I mention that they are, also, super fun to cuddle!? We would highly recommend our Siamese buyers considering adding a Balinese to their household. They will add a great amount of diversity to a Shorthaired Siamese owner's household! They are wonderful, beautiful companions and I doubt you will be disappointed! If you have any questions about this breed, please feel free to ask us!

Where are you Located?

Stud Service?
We keep a closed household. We are very protective of our cats' and kittens' health. There are too many diseases that can be transferred and brought into our household by offering Stud Service. We keep the same policy as many other Reputable breeders and do not offer stud service.
Focus of your Breeding Program?
In my breeding program, I focus on breeding Quality, healthy kittens with the sweetest temperaments and true personalities of the Siamese that we have all come to adore. I strive to produce the Deep Blue eye color that we all love in our Siamese, and create true balanced "Applehead" and "Classic" Siamese. Our kittens are talkative, active, and beautiful. They have striking Blue Eyes and purrs that will delight. They come pre-spoiled and are given kisses and hugs daily.
Who are your cats' Registered with?
Our cats are registered with CFA. I have brought in some of the most gorgeous Siamese into my breeding program to ensure you will have a kitten of quality.
Are the kittens cheaper without papers?
No Reputable Breeder will ever place a kitten without their registration slip. No, we do not place our kittens cheaper without the registration slips.
Do you place your kittens as "Breeders"?
I prefer my kittens to go to pet homes so we very rarely place our babies as breeders. We will consider breeding rights to appropriate breeding programs. All of my pet kittens are placed with strict spay/neuter contracts.
Do you Ship?
We have placed our kittens in homes all over the US. Since we prefer to meet you in person, we do not ship our pet kittens as cargo. We prefer the kitten to be flown under the seat with their new owner. This is, also, a safer option for your kitten.
Can we visit your Cattery?
We are not a "Cattery", but, you are always welcome to come speak with us and visit our adult cats at our home. Although, if we have young kittens in the house, we do not allow visitors to see them. We always strive to keep our kittens in the best health. Little Kittens are very delicate and can easily contract infections and diseases from visitors who have been in contact with other animals who carry that disease or infection. This can, also, become a very stressful situation for the kittens and their mom. So, to keep our kittens happy and in their best health before leaving our home, we do not allow visitors to come out and see or handle our young kittens.
How do we "pick" our kitten if we can't come see
them?
Color and sex preferences will narrow your choices down very quickly. If there happens to be two similar kittens in a litter (that you are able to choose from), we will send a few photos of each kitten to you, observe their personality, and let you know our findings. We will only do this, though, if you have put down a deposit and reserved your spot.
How often will you post pictures of the kittens?
This will often vary according to each litter and my schedule. I will generally take pictures every other weekend. Please kindly note that this is a courtesy on my part and not an entitlement of the buyer. Taking pictures is something I will do as an extra treat for the buyer when I am able. I know how much my kitten buyers love seeing the pictures, so I do my best to keep them updated with quality pictures. Please be aware that I am a student, and life can become very hectic around our household with not only our Siamese kittens/cats, farm life, but also other personal family responsibilities as well.
What is your Waiting list for?
We get numerous emails daily about kittens, so we have a Wait List. When we place you on our Waiting list, we expect you to be committed to us. Once the list is full, we are turning away other potential kitten homes. This is the reason we only put serious kitten buyers on our Wait List. Communication is key when being on one of our Wait Lists. Once a litter is expected from your choice cat, I will send out an email to everyone on the list. To make sure I do not remove your name, you must reply to this email in a timely manner. As I mentioned earlier, we get a huge amount of emails about kittens daily, so reply to this email once you see it so I know you are still interested. We do not wait long for this reply. If there is no reply to this email (usually within 48 hours), we will scratch your name off the list and the spot will be offered to another family.

Buyer Etiquette?

What Cat Litter Do You Use?
We use a pine pellet litter that is all natural with no chemicals. We highly recommend it. We greatly advise not using any clay clumping litter for a kitten. Clumping cat litters use sodium bentonite. When wetted down--it expands about 15 times its size and hardens just like cement. Ingesting clumping litter has been linked to deadly intestinal blockages and pulmonary problems in cats. Dust and Perfume from clay clumping litters can cause allergies in cats and humans and can trigger asthma attacks.
What Type Of Cat Food Do You Recommend?
We highly recommend using a food with NO corn. A meat such as Chicken, Beef, etc--as the first ingredient. When you get your kitten, we will give you a little baggy of their current food for you to mix in with whatever you will be feeding in order for your kitten's digestive system to have a smooth transition. Our Cats and kittens have a NO corn and no grain, "high quality" diet. Cats and dogs don't digest corn. Cats are strict carnivores; they eat meat.
What Are The Differences Between Classic & Appleheads?
Applehead Siamese are bigger boned with a very round "Apple" shaped head. A Classic Siamese is in-between a Wedge and an Apple. A Classic is less extreme than the Wedge. Classic Siamese are slightly more delicate with more slender, svelte bodies than the Apple. B0th Classic and Appleheads are considered to be Traditional Siamese, while Wedgeheads are considered to be Modern Siamese.
What Are The Differences Between The 4 Main Color Points?
We currently raise Seal Points, Chocolate Points, and Blue Points.
A. The Seal Point is the darkest of the 4 main colors and is considered to be the more popular "traditional" color of Siamese. If you are wondering why your Seal Point Siamese looks completely different than it did as a young adult, it is because most Siamese tend to darken with age. Seal Points more so than any of the 4 main Colors Points (Seal, Chocolate, Blue, Lilac).
B. The Chocolate Point is the dilute of the Seal Point, meaning it is lighter. Their Points are closer to a milk chocolate color with a lighter, ''cream'' colored body. They are more apt to keep the contrast in their coloring, but do slightly darken when they get older.
C. Blue Points have grayish colored-Points and a slightly ''bluish'' shaded body. They are darker than the lilac and do tend to darken slightly with age.
Lilac Points are the lightest of the four Main Colors. They pretty much stay white in their body, even when they are older. Their Color Points have a solid lilac color. Sorry, I do not have an example picture.

Does A Male Cat Spray After He Is Neutered?
No, there isn't a reason to worry about this. We ask you to please not let this affect your decision of getting a male kitten. Although, an unaltered male will spray and produce a strong urine odor in his litterbox. They are only recommended for breeding. Just make sure you get him neutered in a timely manner and there should be no problem.
What Age Do You Recommend To Spay Or Neuter A Kitten?
We recommend 6 months of age for females. I would recommend neutering a male before he is 6 months as this is the time he will begin spraying. Please talk to your vet about this matter and listen to his recommendations.
Do You Ever Have Retired Adults?
Yes, we do occasionally have adult cats available--if so, they will be marked "available". If not, then they are not available at this time. Most all our retired adults are retired from our breeding program and will be spayed or neutered--unless otherwise marked.
A Little About Siamese
The Siamese is distinguished by its endearing blue eyes and colored points on ears, face, tail and feet. Their Points provide a striking contrast to its light-colored body. Among early Siamese cats to get to England were a pair brought from Thailand (Once known as Siam) by Sir Edward Blencowe Gould, then Consul-General in Bangkok. A member of the Thai Royal family (possibly the King himself) gave Sir Edward a pair of cats, which he in turn gave to his sister Lilian Veley. The cats, named Pho and Mia, and three of their kittens were shown at the Crystal Palace Exhibition (an early cat show) in the mid-1880s. They began appearing in English cat shows almost immediately, and in American shows by the early twentieth century. Later these cats died; however, the reason is unknown. With deep dreamy blue eyes, the Siamese is an extremely beautiful and elegant cat. The Siamese is also considered one of the oldest breeds of all our cat breeds. They are intelligent cats with an inquisitive personality and a loving nature. Today, this ancient breed has become the most popular of all pedigreed cat breeds.
These cats were so extraordinary that they captured immediate attention. A well-known quote from that time describes them as an "unnatural nightmare of a cat". However, whatever the initial reaction or impression, the dog-like intelligence and loyalty, mischievous sense of humor and special charm of these cats, made them a favorite of British cat fanciers. In 1902, England founded its first Siamese cat fancier's club. Siamese cats were held in such high esteem in their native country that no one except the King and members of the royal family were permitted to own them. They were originally known as Royal Points. But, today they are in many households all over the world.
