Angel's Litter-24th December '08 *ALL SOLD*
(Ready to leave approx the 18th March 2009)


On Christmas Eve, Angel decided to show us what she has been carrying inside her after spending time with Roane. She in her usual fashion, wanted me there with her, cheering her on, and she gave birth to 7 little bubs. Sadly one little boy was still born and had a hole in the stomach, and we have a concern with the smallest girl, which we will watch carefully.
*UPDATE* 03/01/09 - The littlest girl we were concerned about, sadly didnt make it and died at only a few days old, despite us sup feeding...
We do have 3 boys and 2 girls in this litter and the colours and patterns will be points (1 definite in the boys) and Bi-colour in mainly Seal and Blue with some possibly carrying chocolate/lilac.
*UPDATE* 03/01/09 - Angel and her kittens are thriving and looking beautiful! We now know we have all Seal kittens!! 2 points and 3 Bi-Colours, sexes and colours below the pics from 3 weeks of age.
*UPDATE* 22/02/09 - Due to the Victorian Bushfires, and having some very friends involved, including our loved Vet losing her husband on Black Saturday, we have not been updating as often as we normally would. The babies are doing very well and going thru a major growth spurt at the moment!
*UPDATE* 22/03/09 - These babies are doing fantastically now and we are just waiting for desexing dates from our Vet before they are ready to leave for their new homes. 
Pictured below at 1, 3, 6 & 12weeks of age!

Princess's Litter-19th October'08 - *ALL SOLD* 
(Ready to leave approx the 24th January 2009)

 
Princess has been visiting with our new Seal Bi-colour carrying chocolate boy, Roane.
Princess gave birth to SIX healthy kittens on Sunday the 19th of October! We are pretty sure we have 4 boys and 2 girls. Pics below were taken are at a few days old, 2 weeks old and 6wks old.
Sadly at 3weeks of age, the smallest of the boys, one of the Seal Bi-colours, lost his fight. Even tho we fought along with him and where giving him supportive therapy to give him every chance, he just wasnt strong enough for this world. This is one of the hardest things we have to deal with as a Breeder and we weep for every baby that doesnt make it.
This will be Princess' last litter before being desexed and retired from our breeding program.
Please enquire if you are interested in giving our Princess a new bed to lie on!!
Colours and patterns are below the older pictures below.
The Studly Boys -                                      and the Gorgeous Girls -
 
The kittens pictured below at 6wks of age do have at the time of taking the pics, what is commonly known as 'weaning diarrhea' which accounts for their scruffy appearance. This can occur as their system adjusts to eating solid food from only having Mum's milk. As we do not take ANY chances with our babies, they are under veterinary care and we are following their recommendations. Our experience with this has been that this is a condition that is transient and totally treatable. Once again we assure people that NO cat leaves here until we and the Vet are happy it is totally healthy and ready for their new homes.
**UPDATE 20/12/08**
After a long wait on test results, our Vet has finally received results for what has been ailing these babies.
They have salmonella poisoning, (food poisoning in humans) most likely caused by some bad meat. We are in the process of changing our raw meat supplier and the babies have improved alot already! Due to their illness tho, they will not be desexed until later than planned (15th Jan '09) and will not be available until after they have recovered from this op.
New pics of every kitten at 9 & 12wks of age are below and show the marked improvement they have made! We are looking forward to their continued improvement now they are on the correct antibiotics for this illness.
**UPDATE 03/01/09**
The kittens are going from strength to strength and looking sooo well! We are all happy with them, although the 2 smallest girls may not be available to leave us until early Feb just to ensure their body-weight is where it should be.
**UPDATE 17/01/09**
Again, we are overjoyed that these kittens are going from strength to strength. They were taken to the Vet this past week and vaccinated, microchipped & desexed as well as given a wonderful health clearance! Mum is still suffering from the effects of the Salmonella poisoning tho, and is still receiving care and attention from us & our Vet.
Please feel free to ask any questions about any of our cats.

Bella's Litter-15th March '08 *ALL SOLD*
 (Ready for their new homes approx 7th June '08)


This litter of Bella and Connors was highly anticipated by us for a few reasons.
Bella is a Blue Tortie and our first breeding girls' last born daughter to continue the line as Stumpy was desexed over 12mths ago, and it is also Bella's first litter. Bella did herself and us proud by waiting for a decent time, and not too hot day, and gave birth to 6 babies in the space of 2 hrs!
We now know the colours and sexes of all these babies and individual pics are below.
Update 21/05/08-The littlest boy, Blue Mitt with Blaze, had been worrying us as he was not thriving despite supplement force feeding. Sadly, he was found deceased this morning. Autopsy results are pending. Once again we would like to mention that we are more than happy to answer questions regarding the issues we choose to not hide. Kittens are just like us, they get can get sick or have an underlying issue that doesnt become apparent until they are older, and sadly cant always be saved despite our best efforts.
The picture of Mum and bubs was taken not long after birth and the kittens photo's were taken at 2 & 6 weeks of age.

Angel's Litter-28th January '08 *ALL SOLD*
 (Ready for their new homes approx 21st April '08)

           
Our own Angel was mated to Bluey, just as he made his move to a new home with Tracy of Catsville Ragdolls and Cattery. Angel gave birth to 6 lovely babies, 4 girls and 2 boys on Monday 28th January!
Sadly, one of the boys, the second last to be born, was stillborn and could not be revived. We feel he spent a little too much time in the birth canal and this caused his demise. Another tragedy hit this litter with the remaining boy not thriving, despite our best efforts. Autopsy results on him were inconclusive. The remaining kittens are doing very well, as can be seen below.
ALL kittens born are Seal Points! Pics shown below are at 2 days, 2 weeks and 5 weeks of age.

Princess' Litter- 20th January '08 *ALL SOLD*
 (Ready for their new homes approx 12th April '08)

We are pleased to announce the arrival of more babies.
                 
Princess Fiona has given birth to 5 gorgeous kittens. The proud Dad is our wonderful Mr Connor.
We have confirmed that we have 4 boys and 1 girl. We are very sad to mention that we lost the littlest Blue Mitt boy. He just seemed to fade away, regardless of the effort to supplement feeding etc that we put into him. We are awaiting autopsy results on him. We also had the 'Colour change Fairy' visit, and ALL the kittens mentioned below are all Blue, no Seal!
01/04/08-Kittens are just like our children. They can also get sick and need extra nurturing for a time without taking away from their eventual lifespan. In this litter, we have had this happen at 9weeks of age as they have come down with a illness that has them a little worse for wear. Our Vet is guiding the situation carefully along with us and we expect a full recovery soon. *update* The kittens were recovering well under our cat-specialist vet's guidance, but sadly, the smallest Blue Point boy had a complication from trying to fix the diarrhea issue, which caused him to become constipated. Although we were in constant contact with our Vet during this time, this boy had an unforeseen issue of a twisted bowel and died shortly before he could get to the vet. An autopsy result showed that he had a fatal bowel blockage.
We can assure you that NO kitten will leave here until we and our Vet are totally sure they are fully ready and  recovered. Questions are welcomed.
Pics below were taken at 10 days old, 3, 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age.

Dee Dee's Litter-DOB 1/11/07  **ALL SOLD**
 (Ready for their new homes from 24/01/08)


 Dee Dee was mated to our gorgeous Seal Mitt Stud Connor. The resulting litter was born on Thursday the 1st of November. She surprised all of us with the ease she gave birth to these babies, tho she did get a little tired for the last few, and I did need to break the sac's so the babies could breathe.
She has had 6 gorgeous babies!! 2 girls and 4 boys!! It can clearly be seen in the pics below, taken only hours after birth, that Dee Dee is a natural Mum!! She is continuing to be a fantastic Mum as well!!
We are expecting Seals and Blues in Points and Mitts in this litter.
Colours are now apparent and are listed below the individual kittens, pictured at birth, 1, 3, 7 and 10 weeks of age.

Kare's Litter-DOB 13/10/07   *ALL SOLD*
(Ready for their new homes from 5/01/08)

Our NZ import girl, Kare, had been sent to a different boy awhile ago, but as she didnt seem to be very settled there, not to mention he had not produced any kittens before, we didnt think anything had happened. Unfortunately, we have just discovered that we were right...ALL the kittens have shown their true colours...literally!!!
The sire of this litter, is not Roane, a lovely Seal Bi-colour carrying true chocolate (DNA proved), but is our Blue Bi-colour Stud, Bluey. This confusion over the colours is abit embarrassing, but can happen ... especially when I have been stressed over exams...so I do appologise for the confusion.
Kare produced 4 boys and a girl, the day before my Birthday!! She is doing a marvellous job this time around and the babies are lovely plump little kitties!
Photos shown were taken at 1 day old, 2, 6 and 10 weeks old.

Missy's Litter-DOB 08/09/07 **ALL SOLD**
(Ready for their new homes from 1/12/07)
Connor and Missy have done it again! Another stunning litter produced!
4 gorgeous babies were born from this mating. 3 boys and a girl. Sadly, One of the boys was unexpectedly found deceased, all curled up looking asleep in the corner of the box, at 10days old tho. We sent him for an autopsy and the sad conclusion was that he had inflamed lungs caused by a possible infection. Mum and the remaining Bubs have had a course of antibiotics 'just in case' although the most likely cause is from him inhaling too soon during birth, causing an infection to creep up on him.
Pictures shown are at 3 weeks, 7 weeks (in the deep purple background) 9 weeks and 11 weeks old.
