At a Christmas party we were talking about finding a friend for our dog, as he was obviously missing his canine companion who had passed a few months earlier, a friend suggested finding a cat that is more like a dog and the research began. Looking at the various cat breeds I returned again and again to the sleek, distinctive and beautiful Ocicat, not just for their adorable spotty tummies but for their intelligent, witty and sociable characters, often described as 'a dog in a cats body'. We brought home our first Ocicat boy Lupin in 2016 and we all fell in love.

Very soon I started my search for a female, I had got the bug and wanted more. After a while I was lucky to find a litter of kittens with a beautiful chocolate silver girl and soon we welcomed Luna into our home. We were prepared to spend days introducing her very slowly to Lupin but within a couple of hours they insisted on being together, friends from the word go.

At 18 months Luna had her first litter of kittens, such a wonderful experience for our whole family. Her first born was a female black silver spotted kitten - just what I have always wanted and so Nymphadora has stayed with us, along with her brother Dudley, who will, one day, live with our daughters once she has a place of her own (so he could be here a long time...

Now I love to spread the word about these most beautiful, fascinating and friendly beasties - the perfect family pet. Our kittens grow up in our home, chasing round the furniture and playing with our dog, constantly hugged and played with. We take pleasure in offering well rounded healthy and happy kittens fully prepared for their new homes. Nothing pleases us more than to receive photos of them so obviously bring real pleasure to their new servants.
