We are on our way to Mississauga for the TICA annual 2026! An event we have been eagerly awaiting for literal years!

Traveling with us this weekend we have Elvira the Bombay competing in Champion Class, Willow the Burmese competing in Kitten class, and Frankenstein and Octavia who are just along for the ride! Frankie is unfortunately one week two young but will be making his show debut in 2 weeks at the Mississauga Pet Expo. And Octavia is heading home to North Carolina on Monday.

There are 350 cats entered coming from all over the world and 14 rings this weekend and we are so excited! Lots of cat related vendors too!

We hope to see some of you there! Keep an eye out for our bright orange cage curtains.

Hi folks!

Please be patient with us as we work to get caught up on prospective owner questionnaire responses. If you have completed our questionnaire, yes, you will receive an email back with additional information and saying if you have been accepted to join our waiting list. However due to a combination of factors (older kittens going home, kitten births, family visiting, and personal chronic illness) we have fallen behind on responding.

We will be replying in the order that these applications were received, please just be patient with us and if you still haven't heard back in a month please follow up because occasionally people enter their emails incorrectly and then our replies don't reach their inbox. We will likely do a full waitlist check in soon as well to help plan for upcoming litters.

Additionally we have been telling people that the average wait for a kitten from us is around one year, however at this point we have so many requests that it is more likely to be closer to two years, though it could be more or less and depends on a ton of factors we have discussed previously as our waitlist is not first-come first-served.

Scylla and Charybdis (now with eyes!) for attention

Updates from Granddaughter Winnie and Grandma Pixie enjoying the sun, and Grandson Grond and Grandpa LeeLee enjoying a pillow fort. They are all so sweet together and we always look forward to hearing from their families about what they've been getting up to.

We took Elvira to the Pride Night Market this evening and she had a fantastic time getting a lot of attention from other attendees and vendors. This was a fun experience since we brought Elphaba, her half sister, to the same event last year.

Purranormal Octavia of Wizardgate had her third vet check yesterday to receive her FVRCP booster, microchip, and rabies shot in preparation for her trip to her new home in North Carolina next month. She got lots of snuggles from the staff at the clinic and treats to make the pokes a bit less traumatic.

This past weekend truly exhibited the highs and lows of cat breeding. We had two litters due, Elphaba x Gill-man (his first!) and Lilith x Renfield.

Elphaba went into labour on a Sunday morning, it was fast and easy with next to no intervention required. All four were 90+ grams which is a fantastic size for our breeds.

There are two sable boys and two black girls. With the influence of maternal grandmother Siren and daddy Gill-man we went with a water related litter theme again.

Introducing:

Kraken, legendary sea monster of enormous size, depicted as a giant squid, said to appear in the Norwegian Sea and feared by sailors for its ability to drag entire ships into the ocean depths by creating deadly whirlpools.

Cthulhu, the cosmic entity that looks like a humanoid octopus dragon hybrid and created by H.P. Lovecraft. He rests trapped and sleeping in a sunken city under the Pacific Ocean. His mere physical presence, his psychic dreams, and his alien nature break human minds, drive people into sudden madness, and inspire chaotic cults to worship him.

Scylla and Charybdis the two legendary immortal and inescapable monsters who beset the narrow waters traversed by the Greek heroes in the Odyssey. They forced sailors into an impossible choice, giving rise to the famous phrase "between Scylla and Charybdis," meaning an impossible choice between two equal dangers creating the now common idiom "between a rock and a hard place."

Lilith also went into labour later on Sunday evening. Sadly her litter was very underdeveloped and non viable. This was a particularly heartbreaking loss for us as her previous litter had also been absorbed/miscarried. She is our sweetest cat and we were so hopeful that this time would be her time to be a mom but Mother Nature had other plans. After this loss Lilith was struggling, she couldn't settle and was looking for her babies.

Carefully we introduced Lilith to Elphaba and her litter to see if Elphie would accept her helping with the babies and the most beautiful thing happened. These kittens are so loved.

Kittens will be reserved by waitlist members
