5. Gene diversity and maintaining robust, heal
thy Russian Cats. We have been involved in the Russian Cat world for some years. We are actively involved with breeders and pet owners. We are co founders of ALL RUSSIAN CAT ENTHUSIASTS (where pet owners and breeders can share their pets, along with advise regarding care), and Russian Cats Australia (an in depth website all things Russian Cats and a list of breeders). After being a pet owner of Russians for over 25 years, we can honestly say that we are now “owned” by the most magnificent cat breed in the world. Yes, we all desire something different from a pet, but for us, the gracefulness, elegance, intelligence, and loyalty of this breed has won our hearts forever. Each Russian that we have shared our lives with has been unique in their own “special” way, but the overall breed characteristics are the same. Nothing short of pure joy. We sought our first Russians from Frances McLeod of Arctic Russians back in the year 2000. We where looking for a Russian Blue and a Russian White. The litter only produced Blue kittens. So, we adopted Arctic Voinski Suvorov (aka Deejay) and his sister Arctic Mudrei Koshka (aka Nikita). It was in 2009 we adopted Tintola Polar Bear (aka Kaspa) from Kay Rogers and Craig Broad. In 2015 we adopted Tintola Marusya, a Black girl (aka Babushka who has unfortunately passed) and her brother, Tintola Makarw (aka Luka), a Blue boy. In 2017 we adopted Babushkablue Alik, our Black boy, and his sister Babushkablue Nooshka, our Blue girl. So where did we decide to start? We are starting with what we have and what we have loved. Our first two breeding queens will be from Tintola Russians and Minyawoo Russian. Two very reputable and outstanding breeders and very good friends. We would like to thank Linda and Craig Broad of Tintola, and Ian and Anne from Minyawoo for their support and encouragement, but also for entrusting us with their precious girls. We aim to do them proud. So the long awaited journey begins. We hope to bring you outstanding Russian Cats, both in physical features and temperament. Regards
Mark and Joseph
