I Show/Breed Silver Shaded, Chinchilla, and Color Point British Shorthair/Longhair Cats and Kittens. They all love to be cuddled and spoiled :)

My goal is to breed for exceptional Health, Looks, Personalities, and to fit into any family dynamics. My Cattery is based in Northern California. I am a very small home based Cattery. I started the cattery after I retired, I just wanted to Show a Cat as a pass time and have the love and companionship of a beautiful cat. The British Shorthair has always been a favorite of mine since I was a child.

When I went looking for my Show Cat I was actually looking for a Male Blue in color. Upon seeing the Silver Shaded and Chinchilla I fell in love and decided that was the cat that I wanted as my constant loving companion. During the search though, I feel in love with more than one kitten and that is how I ended up with a pair of Show/Breeder cats. They are the love of my life and the kittens are just added bonus’s. So all the Kittens are raised as if they are part of the family … under foot with ample amount of attention and love from the day they are born. The Cattery is registered with both TICA and CFA

Wow, it's been a while since I posted here. Darn life can really make time go by fast. I was really bad last year about posting Birthday kittens, so I am going to try to do better this year.

So, since I do not have many kittens in the winter months until March, I am going to play a little catch-up with Birthdays from December through mid-March :).

12-21-21 ... Plume .. a beautiful Blue Silver Shaded girl who actually won a champion title back in 2023. This is what her mom said about her this year: " Plume is the best cat, and we are so enamored with her. And she's been the best big sister too!!"

01-27-21 ... Wade ... A beautiful Seal Silver Chinchilla Point. His mom has sent me some wonderful photos and is also surprised he is now 5 years old :).

01-27-21 ... Tubby ... A beautiful Black Silver Shaded Tabby that has darkened up a lot in color. A true beauty. Here is what his dad said about him: " He hates when I dress him up. He truly is the cutest!"

03-07-22 ... Butter ... A beautiful Seal Silver Chinchilla Point. His dad had this to say about him: " All is well with Butter, he is doing great. He's super affectionate now and loves cuddles. I feel like he got more and more cuddly as he grows older !"

03-07-22 ... Sunday ... A beautiful Seal Silver Chinchilla Point.

03-07-22 ... Willow ... A Seal Silver Chinchilla Point. What her dad had to say about her: "She's doing well. Her favs are playing, getting affection, and eating chicken. One thing we can report is, she's not underfed."

03-07-22 ... Zeus ... A Blue Silver Lynx Point. What her mom had to say about him: " I love my little Zeus to pieces. He is the best cat ever. He's a very good cuddle cat. He's probably a little spoiled, but he's such a sweetheart. He's the best companion."

03-12-23 ... Dolce ... A beautiful Black Silver Shaded. Here is what her dad said about her: " Our wonderful, Playful, exceedingly sweet Dolce's 3rd birthday!!!"

03-12-23 ... Rascal ... A handsome Black Silver Shaded. Here is what his mom said about him: " He is so adorable. Always makes me smile when I look at him. My little dopamine lol."

It has now been almost a month since my last litter of kittens for this year went to their new homes. I thought it would be nice to share photos that the families have sent to me of their new fur babies and how they have adjusted :).
This litter was born on August 24th to Giselle and Sasszkats Sunny Delight. There were 4 beautiful Silver Chinchilla Point Males. Each has a very charming and different personality.

Hugo, now known as Kabu, is a sweet, gentle, loving boy. His new home is in Walnut Creek, CA., with his new mom, Sara :). Here is what she has said about Kabu: " He is doing great. He loves being pet and will sit on the couch with us during movies. He loves to get under foot when ever we walk around, and is enjoying some of the new toys we bought him."

Huey, now known as Ricky, joined his half-brother George, his new parents, Laureen and Steve, and his new home is in Folsum, CA. They are avid 49er fans, and each kitten is named for one of the players of the 49ers. Here is what Laureen said about Ricky: "He is doing great. He is definitely more curious than George. He eats like a trooper. Ricky is right at home already. He and George are good friends now."

Hero, now known as Gates, now lives with his new mom, Kim, in Mt. Shasta, CA. Here is what she says about him: " Thought you would enjoy these photos. He found a great spot to play :). He is just a doll! We are getting along great. Thank You"

Happy, now known as Theo, lives with his new mom and dad, Gini and Devin. And all his other playmates :) in Springdale, AR. Here is what Gini said about him:" He is really, really great! He sleeps by my head! He is separated from the rest right now while they all get used to smells, etc. Devin volunteers to keep him company way more than I'd expected, so I think he is smitten, too. We really love how sociable he is. And goodness, he's a good eater. Theo is the best!! He's so sweet. I want to eat him up!

I want to thank all the loving families that have shown so much love to these little ones and made them feel very safe and secure in their new homes. You guys are fantastic.

I wanted to introduce my two new additions to my cattery since I retired Schnocki (my King for almost 8 years) and Jasmine (one of my Queens for 5 years) in October of this year. Sassakats' Pretty Boy is the son of Jasmine from her last litter. He was born on May 19th,2025. He is a Blue Silver Mackerel Tabby. I also adopted a little female from a breeder in Russia. Her name is Ohana, and she was born on April 20th, 2025. She is a Lilac Silver Chinchilla Point.

So I decided to take them both to a show, since they had the personalities and looks to do well. On Nov 1st and 2nd, TICA had a show in Lodi. So off we went :). They were actually competing against each other, so little Ohana did not do as well as Pretty Boy, so I decided to not show Ohana on Sunday.

A kitten cannot earn a championship, but Pretty Boy did receive five finals—2 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. So, at a show, they have to show in front of 6 different judges per day (usually, all 12 judges only judge once). A final is held after the judge has gone through all the kittens at the show. On Saturday, there were 41 kittens (all breeds—long- and short-haired). On Sunday, there were 33 kittens. His highest final was 4th place, which is actually very impressive for a 5-month-old kitten. If he had been an Adult, he would have received the title of Champion and one more final for Grand Champion.

So next year, I will be taking Pretty Boy back to some shows to see how he does in the adult class and whether he will get his Championship. Little Ohana will not be going next time since she will be preparing to become a new mom in the summer months next year.

Here are some Photos of Pretty Boy at the show and a few of Ohana. I will share more soon.

I wanted to share these wonderful little clips that one of my kitty families created and sent to me of their 2 kittens they adopted from me. The one that is shaved :) His name is Sky, and he was born on May 2, 2023. He is a Black Silver Chinchilla Point British Longhair. The other is his half-sister. Joy. She was born on 4-21-2023. She is a Black Silver Shaded Point. They are much loved and super spoiled :). Thank you, Andrew and Pieter, for loving them so much :)

Today I would like to showcase the kittens that were born in May, since they have now been with their new families for at least a month. There were two litters ...
Star's babies were born on 5-16-2025. She had 2 males and 2 females, all of which are black silver Chinchilla Points.

Felix, now known as Sunny: Here is what his new parents say about him... "He's such a loving, gentle, and beautiful cat. He's meet Cory, our other cat, and they certainly like each other. His tail is one of my favorite things! We love those silver rings. He is so expressive with his tail, more than any other cat we've had."

Fido, now known as Casper: Here is what his new family said about him ... " Casper is doing great! He loves to watch us eat lol.He loves to snuggle and he follows us around."

Foxy, now known as Phoebe: Here is what her new family said about her .... "She is doing well. Getting more curious of her surroundings. You were right, she can self entertain. I watched her play while on work calls, and she finds enough things to do on her own."

Fate, now known as Evie: Here is what her new family said about her ... " We are so in love with her! She is doing so great and being crazy. She makes us smile every day."

Jamine's babies were born on 5-19-2025. This is Jasmine's last litter. I have actually retired her, and she will be going to her forever home in October. So I decided to keep one of her kittens to carry on her line. She had 3 kittens ... 2 boys and 1 girl... 2 black silver shaded and one black silver Chinchilla (not a common color).

Gus, now known as Misko .. He is the black silver Chinchilla. Here is what his new family says about him ... " He loves hanging out when I work and read:). We also giggle when he sleeps on his back. He is just a huge cuddle bug and very goofy. His favorite spot is between his cat scratching post and the window so he can watch for squirrels. We say every day it was the best decision ever to get him. We love him so much."

Grace, now known as Yuna: here is what her family had to say: "She's doing well!!! Just took her to the vet on Friday for last shots. She's gotten so big in the last month."

Giedion, now known as Pretty Boy. This is the kitten I decided to keep to carry on both his granddads and his mother's lines. He looks so much like his granddad Schnocki, who I just retired. I was so happy when I saw this little guy, and it was like an instant knowing that he would become one of my Kings to carry on both Schnocki and Jasmine's beautiful colors and personalities.

I want to thank all the families who have adopted these kittens and are taking such excellent care of them. I am excited to see how each one blooms and develops over the years.

Hi All, it's been a while since I posted last, but August was a hectic month. All the May litters are now in their new homes. I will be posting about them and their first month or less in their new homes in a few short days.

Today, though, I thought I would post a video of the newest litter that was born on August 22nd, 2025,22, to Giselle and Schncoki. There are 4 beautiful Male Chinchilla points. They are just over two weeks old today. I have a waitlist, so all these kittens are pretty much spoken for. But they are so cute, I thought I would share with all of you.

This will be the last litter for this year. Next planned litters will be around March or April of 2026.

16/07/2025

It's been a while, and I wanted to share with you the news about the kittens that have been placed in their new homes last month. These are photos of day 1 to about 3 weeks at their new homes.
This litter was born on March 24th to Giselle and Sunny Delight.

Ewok: is now named Fabio. He is a long-haired, golden silver Chinchilla Point. Here is what his new family had to say about him:
"I just got home and I have to tell you the pictures were fantastic but they really don't do this little fella justice. He is the most gorgeous little kitten I think I have ever seen. He is perfect in every way and thank you so much for taking such great care of him. We are all totally in love with him."

Echo: she is now called Joli. She is a long-haired Seal Silver Chinchilla Point. Here is what her new family has to say about her: "Little Echo has adapted wonderfully, just as you predicted. She drinks water frequently and eats almost all her food. She also seems perfectly comfortable with Jimmie. She sleeps with us and is a little darling when we pet and play with her on the bed. We have named her "Channel Joli". But we call her Joli which means "pretty" in French. Our apartment decor has a French Village look so she fits right in."

Eggnog: She is now called Miso. She is a Shorthair Seal Silver Chinchilla Point. Here is what her family has to say about her: "She is doing well, she is so adventurous and basically owns the whole house now."

Ember: So far no name change. Ember is a shorthaired golden silver shaded. Not one of my normal colors ... both her dad and mom carry the golden gene and she shows that :). She went to a family that had adopted one of my kittens a year ago. Here is what her new family had to say about her on day 1: "Ember is so sweet, she cuddled me right away and drank water and ate." and just a few weeks later, "Ember is just a doll. She is truly the most perfect cat. She is so cuddly and loves to play, she is also really fearless! Honey is slowly warming up to her but it will take some time. Honey just hisses at her sometimes but likes to watch her lol"

Ebony: Her name has been changed to Mia. She is a Black Silver Shaded Shorhair. She also went to a home that had previously adopted a kitten from me. Here's what her family had to say about her: 'Thank you to the little one; she's slowly getting comfortable in her new home. Mia is adjusted to her environment, where she's sleeping, But Mui(their other kitty) is taking her time warming up to her."

23/04/2025

Ember... Female ... Golden Silver Shaded ... She is a Shorthair ... This little lady is the most playful of the bunch, but so gentle in her playful ways. She loves to be petted but will bat at your fingers as your petting her. Way to cute :)

Ebony .. Female ... Black Silver Shaded ... She is a Shorthair. This little lady is very mellow laid back girl. When you go to pet her she will roll over so that you can pet her belly.

They all love attention and all try to climb into my lap to get attention and so fun to watch all of them and how they interact with each other and new things.

They will be heading to their new homes around June 16th

So since I have never had any kittens born in Feburary, so no birthday announcement I figured I would do some posts of the Fall kittens in their new homes :). I have received many wonderful photos of the little ones adjusting to their new adopted families.

He loves being picked up now, groomed, nails trimmed because he knows we'll give him treats for it :). He's also complete besties with our other cat Yuto. They love each other. Bubba is the biggest goofball, he makes us laugh everyday with his facial expressions/antics and we love him so much"
