My
name is Karen Thomson, I live in Moorabbin, Melbourne, Australia.
This is
my 3yr old son Jordan.
Past :
My first Persian was a
red that I bought when I was living in Johanesburg,South Africa in 1992. I then had a
blue, a black and then a Chinchilla. I showed but did not breed. When I returned to
Australia in 1996 I really wanted a Colourpoint Persian or as the American's say a
Himalayan. I waited for 10 months before I got
my beautiful girl - Coco & registered Catmandu
Cattery! Coco is the most
fantastic cat that I have ever owned. Never afraid of anything, always
standing her ground, full of mischief and always wanting to be with you,
talking non stop - I think a bit of me has rubbed off on her. She is
very much like a dog, races you down the hall, jumps up on the table and
says hello, waiting for her pat hello in return. She sleeps on my pillow
every night and tries to jump in the shower with it running each
morning. Coco at 11yrs old has now passed on to
Rainbow Bridge unfortunately. She'll be running free and playing happily
until we meet again!
Present
:
Sahara has been Catmandu's only breeding dam
for the past few years but this year I will also be breeding her
daughter Glamour. Sahara has big strong healthy litters and is a fantastic mother!
I desexed Sahara this season 2007 after she produced 'Beau'! Raja
is our only male
and lives inside along with everyone. He is 5 yrs old and enjoys his
life as a stud cat! He has just had his 8th litter! He is a tabby
Persian
that can also breed colourpoints as his sire was a colourpoint. It makes our
litters full of colours - tabby's, colourpoints and tabby points!! Raja
is a great father! In the past when the kittens are about 6-7wks old and
start to venture out of the whelping box he becomes Mr Mom. He washes
them and lets them knead his tummy & suck his hair! Well they think he
has milk?? He plays with them and try's to teach them his trick of
fetching the ball!
Aim
:
Catmandu Cattery is very small of two breeding females and one male!
All cats are kept indoors and kittens are
raised "underfoot" in a loving home environment. Kittens only go to
exceptional homes.
Our cats are loving pets 1st that will live with us permanently because they are our family! I show
my cats sparingly as I do with their breeding! I breed only with
Polycystic Kidney Disease negative Persians from a DNA test!
Please read the following 2 sites on PKD -
info &
test.
That means my kittens can never get PKD & should live for
15-20yrs!
I am very selective
about selling kittens for breeding as it is a large responsibility that
I don't take lightly! All Catmandu kittens are to go to a home that is
permanent!! I don't agree with putting these dear souls through more than
one home in their lives. If it was to occur due to unforeseen
circumstances then I would like to be consulted 1st please!
Catmandu kittens are
vaccinated/dewormed, micro chipped and desexed before leaving here at
12wks old. They also have pet insurance covering them for 6wks after
leaving here. I have
a comprehensive information package that is provided along with a kitten
show bag with food samples and toys. I give hands on grooming
instructions before kittens leave for their new homes! Ongoing advice is
welcomed & encouraged!!
