Scottish Folds are a round stocky breed of cat with folded ears that make them look very much like owls.
We
acquired our first Scottish Fold, CH Windspurr Brodi of Purrceptive
(Paaskin's Iceman
x TGFC Tammy Faye), In 1990. He was a gorgeous shaded silver boy.
We showed him to his Championship
and he was TICA's
best shaded silver Scottish Fold for 95-96 & 96-97, and 2nd best
of breed in the Mid Pacific Region for those years. We then
received Marxalot's Blue Heaven (Scottlind's Sandy Claws of
Marxalot x CH Lirkanes Bonny Blue of Marxalot), an od eyed
white Scottish Fold straight ear. They produced several nice
kittens, and they are the foundation of our cattery. Our
cats are CFA &/or TICA
registered.
In
our copper eyed program we have lilac(light pinkish taupe) and blue (bluish gray).
We
are breeding for silvers and colorpoints in our green &
blue eyed program. Shaded silvers have white fur with the
tip of each hair being black, giving a sparkling silver effect.
Silver tabbies have a white base color with black spots or
stripes. Both have eyes and nose that are outlined with black,
and deep green eye color. Colorpoints have off white body
color, with the darker colors restricted to their face, ears,
legs and tail. We breed blue eyed cats to green eyed cats
to get dark blue eye color on the blue eyed kittens.

Our
attention is paid to friendly and calm personality, plush
fur, round far apart eyes & round head, long flexible
straight tail, straight front & back legs, straight nose
with short nose length, good health and of course, folded
ears on half of them!
All
of our breeding cats are tested negative for Polycystic Kidney Disease
at UC Davis Veterinary Hospital or by DNA. Our male breeding cats are tested for HCM every few years by echocardiogram by Dr. Lori Siemens. Any cats testing positive are spayed or neutered. Any queens who produce any kitten with heart problems is also tested for HCM or spayed. |
