🏆✨ TICA Awards are rolling in for our region! ✨🏆

Words cannot express what it feels like to see these awards come in during our very first championship year with TICA for the Highlander breed. I did my best to attend as many shows as possible throughout the 2025 show season with multiple Highlanders to help with required numbers needed for championship, and regardless of the miles traveled or long weekends, I am incredibly proud of my babies and what they have accomplished.

I’m also beyond proud of two amazing standard Highlanders produced by Jack O’ Lantern and Lydia, along with my Jack O’ Lantern that was also produced here. Their very first litter truly sealed it, and honestly, I could cry. I love these cats so much. ❤️

Seeing Highlanders bred by our program earning recognition not only in our region but in other regions as well is incredibly rewarding and something we are very proud of.

To all the judges who have recognized our cats this season, and to everyone who has supported, encouraged, and made these moments possible; thank you. Your time, expertise, and dedication to the breed mean more than words can express, and we are so grateful.

As we step into this new show season, we are excited, motivated, and so thankful for everything the past year has brought us.

To see both parents and their daughters recognized at this level is something I will never forget. This has been an incredible journey, and I couldn’t be prouder of these cats and what they represent for our program.

And while not every cat earned a regional award this season, every single one of them contributed to this journey. They all stepped into the ring, represented Enchanted Highlanders beautifully, and made me proud. Awards are wonderful, but they don’t define the value of a cat. Each one of my babies played a role in getting us here, and I love every single one of them, award or not. 💗

Thank you to everyone who has supported Enchanted Highlanders along the way. This is a moment I will cherish forever.

I want to share this in a way that’s educational, because that’s always been my intention for the Highlander breed. This isn’t about scare tactics at all, it’s about awareness, transparency, and helping people feel confident and informed.

I would never want to discourage anyone from bringing a Highlander into their home. My goal is actually the opposite, I want families to feel prepared and supported so they can give their kitten the best possible start. Being proactive and informed makes such a difference in long-term health and care.

With certain lineages, I do strongly recommend an echocardiogram around a year of age to screen for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). Even with genetic testing, not everything shows up, so routine monitoring is still really important when it comes to heart health.

We also do see a tendency toward a weaker or less robust muzzle structure in some lines, and that’s what can contribute to alignment issues with the teeth, especially how the upper and lower incisors come in and meet. It’s not just about the teeth themselves, but how the jaw and facial structure guide their placement as the kitten grows. Because of that, I really encourage people to keep a close eye on dental development as kittens mature.

Regular dental care matters a lot too, keeping up with cleanings and watching for things like juvenile gingivitis or Stomatitis can make a big difference in comfort and long-term health.

If I didn’t have documented patterns or real observations behind this, I wouldn’t emphasize it the way I do. It’s not coming from fear or speculation, it’s coming from experience and seeing what actually shows up over time.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple, help people feel informed, supported, and confident so their Highlander has the best possible foundation for a healthy, happy life.

🌟 Important Kitten Placement and Program Information
Please read before inquiring

We are still receiving inquiries about early pickup, younger kittens, and unaltered kittens so I want to clearly restate our program policies.

Kittens do not leave until 16 to 18 weeks of age. This is a set standard based on health, development, and proper socialization, not convenience. Highlanders are a slow maturing breed and the extra time allows for full growth, vaccination completion, recovery from surgery, and veterinary clearance before going home.

All kittens are spayed or neutered before placement between 14 to 16 weeks once they reach a minimum of 3 pounds. They receive core vaccinations, rabies at 16 weeks when appropriate, are microchipped before leaving, and have a full veterinary exam and recovery period prior to transition.

All kittens are microchipped prior to departure. The microchip remains registered to our cattery as primary contact at the time of placement to ensure accurate records, responsible documentation, and support for lifelong identification and lost pet recovery. New owners are added as secondary contact.

This approach reduces health risks, behavioral issues, accidental breeding, and stress on both the kitten and the family. It also supports responsible placement and helps protect the long term wellbeing of the breed.

This approach reduces health risks, behavioral issues, accidental breeding, and stress on both kitten and family. It also protects the breed and prevents irresponsible reproduction.

❌Unaltered kittens are NOT an option.❌

If you inquire about taking a kitten unaltered because you "don't believe in spay/neuter" or want your cat to "have just one litter," and continue to argue with me; that inquiry will be declined. And you will be banned.

We only place kittens as spayed or neutered companions. Unaltered kittens are not offered in our program. Requests for unaltered kittens or arguments against spay and neuter are not a fit for our cattery and will not be considered. Breeder placements are extremely limited and only considered through application for established programs. We must be familiar with your breeding program, your goals, and how the pairing supports genetic diversity and the preservation of the breed. Breeder rights are not casually offered or available upon request.

🐾 Health and Genetic Program🐾

Every kitten is raised with care, and socialization

Breeder kittens include a 1 year genetic guarantee, FeLV and FIV negative status confirmed within 72 hours of departure, a 1 year FIP health guarantee, OS or Wisdom Panel testing when applicable, and breeder support.

Pet kittens include a 1 year genetic guarantee, FeLV and FIV negative status confirmed within 72 hours of departure, a 1 year FIP health guarantee, and an HCM related guarantee for the first year. If a kitten is diagnosed by a licensed veterinary cardiologist with severe HCM or passes from confirmed HCM within the first year, replacement or credit will be considered with veterinary documentation and case review.

Included with every kitten is a veterinary exam with travel certificate if needed, microchip, TICA, CFF or ACFA registration, signed contract, lifetime breeder support, age appropriate vaccinations, deworming, Revolution Plus, 30 day Trupanion trial, and full records.

Our program is built on structured health practices, genetic testing where applicable, and ongoing veterinary oversight. While no breeder can eliminate all health risks in living animals, we remain committed to responsible breeding, honesty, and lifelong support for every kitten placed.

I’m resharing this post as a reminder. I’ve been intentional about not naming this breeder or her cattery. I did this in hopes that she will take accountability, apologize, and make things right. Instead, it’s been retaliation. This is not a personal vendetta; it is my experience and the reason I was blacklisted and removed from so called breeder list that they make. And I never broke any rules nor am I banned from any association.

I’ve had many people reach out with concern, including families and our own families who she has removed or banned from her group.

After a lot of thinking, encouragement, and support this past weekend, I’ve decided I’m not walking away.

Yes, we’re still moving. Yes, I’ll be downsizing and restructuring. But instead of quitting, I’m choosing to build something even better.

My new setup will be more integrated into our home while still maintaining privacy and separation from our main living space. It will allow me to share more of the day-to-day reality of my program, my queens, kings, and nursery, while continuing to focus on what matters most: happy well-socialized Highlanders.

I’ve accomplished a lot in a relatively short time, and I know there’s still so much more I can contribute to this breed. I’m not going to let negativity, politics, or being told where I do and don’t belong stop me from doing what I love.

One thing that won’t be changing is my commitment to the families who trust me. I will continue offering my guarantees, including genetic coverage, FIP coverage, and FeLV/FIV coverage. I’m also looking into adding a one-year HCM guarantee as I continue strengthening my program.

I don’t take being told what to do very well, and I am perfectly fine being unwelcome at certain tables.

So I built my own.

At my table, there’s room for everyone. Breeders, rescues, pet owners, newcomers, and longtime mentors. We may not all do things the same way, but we all have something to teach and something to learn.

I may not have all the right answers, but I can definitely tell you what not to do because I’ve probably done it, survived it, and learned from it. 😆

If you’d like a seat at my table, pull up a chair. I’d be honored to have you. 🥰✨
