The Ocicat is a rare
breed of cat in Australia with limited dedicated breeders.
After a career as a Medical Scientist/Veterinary Scientist in Pathology
for 35 years I am now a full time breeder and carer of the wonderful
Ocicat.
My husband and I
breed Ocicat kittens for pure enjoyment and not as a business. However,
we will provide a professional service with detailed receipts,
guarantees and post-adoption help and advice.
We have limited
litters each year so that our family can enjoy each and every one of our
Ocicat kittens until they are ready to join your family. We spend time
playing and interacting with the kittens to ensure they are socialised
and ready to become a treasured member of your family.
Our Ocicat kittens
will grow into a wonderfully confident and affectionate natured cat who
will settle into your family and will delight you for many years to
come.
Brothers Gizmo and Gus at 3
months

I do not have many litters in the year, because I want to enjoy each and
every one of my kittens before they arrive into your family.
