My cattery was started in La
Crosse, Wisconsin and named for my daughters, Kim and Connie
when they were small girls. They now have their own families.
My sons Rick and Ryan also were a big help in caring for the
cats and kittens. At that time I raised Persians, specializing
in whites. Our family also went to horse shows and dog obedience
in addition to cat shows in the Midwest.
After the children were on their
own, I lived in Dallas, Texas for seven years and Bakersfield,
California for two years, where I obtained my first Exotic
Shorthair's. After moving to Houston, Texas I started showing
at the area shows and made many friends and joined the Houston
Cat Club and eventually served on the Board of Directors.
At this time I met Debra Sutherland, owner of LaPurr'fect
Selkirks and acquired my first Selkirk, a homozygous who produced
some winning curly babies from the Exotic Shorthair cross. Curly
Sue is a Sealpoint and White and has produced many colors.
Then I added LaPurr'fect Calamity
Jane and she is the mom of the calico curly kitten on the
Selkirk page. Her daughter is Darlin' Clementine, who is
shown on the selkirk page.
