Step by Step my Cattery comes along. I must say the nicest thing so far is meeting nice people along the way. I have not contacted many breeders but those that I have are very kind people. I am thankful that I have meet them, even if it is just over Messager, Email or telephone conversations. The serach for the right cats for our Cattery is esensial and it is wonderful to have conversations with people that love these beauties as mush as I do. 

We pick each one of our babies very carefully. We don't just jump at this. We take our time. We study each breeder. We read through their websites and see their acomplishments as a breeder. I do wish sometimes all my babies were already at our home but as they say "Geduld ist der Schlussel zu erfolg!" Patience is the key to success. 

It has taken many years of planning and waiting but the time has finally come to start my small Cattery. As a small child I always wanted a cat, but as my Dad was a passionate bird lover and had many many different types of birds, I was not allowed to have a cat. Well that all changed when I turned 19 years old. I was working and studying and the first thing I did was buy a persian kitten. My very first kitten/ child was little Cleo!!!! 

Fast forward time 21 years to the present and here we are. Me,a California girl, married a Swiss boy. Three children later and a move to Switzerland we are here. And I am ready to start my little Cattery. Our children are now 16, 14 (today my Sophie turnes 14!!! Happy birthdays sweetie), and 11. And well I, just turened 40!!!! A great age to start a deep passionate Hobby!
