My name is Patti and my husband Kevin and I live in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, along the shores of Lake Michigan.  We are a small cattery, (opening in 2004), and choose to remain a small cattery dedicated to breeding healthy Dwarf cats and kittens, the Dwelf and Bambino!!  My cattery is named after my very first short-legged cat, “Lil Foot”, who is a Bambino.  He is still with us and is our main man!

     Our cattery is TICA registered and soon to be registered with the new Dwarf Cat Association!  We are very happy about TDCA as it is geared toward fellowship and understanding of breeding happy short stature cats and kittens of all kinds.  Breeds included as of today are:  The Bambino, Dwelf,  Lambkin, Munchkin, Minskin, and Kinkalow.

     I was brought up in a rural area and have lived in rural areas most of my life.  Therefore, I have had several pets.  I have had horses, goats, cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, tarantulas, bearded dragons, snakes, hermit crabs, salt water and fresh water fish, etc, etc.   I cannot imagine my life without pets.  I have bred and shown AKC Collies in Obedience.  I was a dog obedience  Instructor for 6 years, teaching with our local Dog Training club and with a local Humane Society. I also carried one term as Vice-President of the Humane Society, now called Easternshores in Calumet County, WI.

       Now that all 5 of my children are gone, I felt it was time to settle down and use my experience raising my cats.  It is so much more relaxing! All of our cats and kittens (when old enough) have free reign in our home.  This ensures that they become familiar with the household surroundings and each other.  Realistically, it is necessary to cage them at times for their own protection.  Our cats and kittens are well socialized, being that I have 6 grandchildren and many cat-loving friends.

      We work closely with our Veterinarian to ensure that all kittens and adult cats are in good health at all times. All kittens are age appropriate vaccinated and de-wormed before leaving  The price of a kitten also includes spay/neuter.  No pet cat or kitten will leave for their new home until they are spayed/neutered. Pet kittens do not leave our home until they are at least 14-16 weeks of age to ensure that they will be leaving with all age appropriate vaccinations and early spay/neuter. We do not sell kittens registered with breeding rights to the general public.  We will consider most catteries depending on registration status and cattery practices.
