Our neuters are very special members of the family, regardless of whether they started out as breeding cats or beloved pets. We don't rehome our cats after they have finished their breeding careers. Instead, they enjoy retirement (and kitten babysitting duties) to the fullest here at home with us.

Our first Norwegian Forest cat, Katie came to us from Southampton, England in June, 1998. She's an extremely loveable, active girl who loves fetching her furry mice for hours on end. She also has a fruit fetish for tomatoes, cantaloupe, and kiwifruit, not necessarily in that order! Thank you, Kate and Doug, for our special girl, the true "queen" of our home. Katie is the mother of litter 1, litter 2, litter 4, litter 6, and litter 8. She shared with her kittens her wonderful size, beautiful ears, and affectionate personality.

I always knew Serra's parents would make magic together, and after pestering Linda for months, she finally agreed it was worth a try. It was a pleasure to prove myself right! Serra is a dream come true, a real cuddler - she hasn't stopped purring and snuggling since she arrived from her Swedish homeland. We are forever grateful to Linda and Rob for this wonderful girl, who combines rare Norwegian and Swedish lines into such a beautiful "faît accompli"! Serra is the mother of litter 5, litter 7 and litter 9. She passed on her sweet temperament, remarkable golden eyes, and exceptional head type to her kittens.

Nigel was destined to enter our lives even before he was born. Both his grandfather Rudolfo and his uncle Freddy stole my heart when they were kittens, and Nigel is the culmination of a longtime dream continued by his daughters, Mandy and Bennie. He is co-owned and lives with Marilynne Roberts of Nordicwoods cattery; we can't thank Minna and Kjeld enough for sending us such a charming, beautiful boy. Nigel is the father of litter 5, litter 6, and litter 7. His kittens inherited his easygoing personality, marvelous coat, and gigantic lynx tips.

Jazzy re-entered our lives in November, 2001 when her beloved owner passed away. She is Katie's daughter and Pasha's sister, a very handsome girl who weighs in at a whopping 16 pounds of pure muscle and strong boning. She settled back into our home in no time and has become fast friends with her sister. Her favorite activity is licking our hair -- apparently Rob and I both need help with our grooming!

Misha came to us as a very young kitten in 1992 after spending a cold, rainy night in the engine of my parents' car. After her rescue she settled into her role as our spoiled rotten first baby! Very fond of cottage cheese and filet mignon, Misha always gets what she wants, and in the case of our Forest Cat menagerie, sometimes more than she bargained for.
