Again, thank you so much for stopping by!  My name is Christina and I live with my husband Randy and our beautiful 5 year old daughter Jessica.  We have been involved with the Cat Fancy since 1996. 

We enjoy our little spot of paradise here on Vancouver Island and I believe it is the best place in the world to live (I am slightly bias though).  Great climate to be able to raise our beautiful cats in!

All of our kittens are raised underfoot.  Now what does that mean?  It means that our when babies are born, they are socialized underfoot, on our laps and sometimes even over our heads:)  We keep our breeding program small enough to allow our queens to run freely through our home.  Yes we have made sacrifices so that everyone can live together in harmony but that is how we have chosen to run our cattery and it works well for us.  Cats draped over couches, joining my daughter for the occasional tubby and running around our feet when we get up in the morning is pure heaven for us. We also do not breed more than 2 litters per year on site to comply with regional district by-laws.

When our babies are at the stage of eating and running about, they are introduced to (in my humble opinion) the best cat food commercially available, Innova EVO.  Here is an excerpt from their website:

"Innova EVO is based on ground chicken and turkey meat, bones, fat, cartilage and connective tissue. It includes whole, raw fruits and vegetables which contain health promoting phytochemicals and micronutrients. EVO has Hi-Protein, Low-Carbs, and No Grains."

We feed EVO in combination with a raw meat diet.  I do recommend that cat owners choose to continue feeding raw and EVO dry to their CafeKitty kittens but if you are a canned cat food type person, EVO also is available in a canned form to accompany the dry.  I think my favorite part of feeding EVO is that our cats eat half as much dry as they used to PLUS, there is less waste in the litterbox.  Really shows you how much filler comes in many commercial cat foods.

Our family also strongly believes in early altering.  We do this with all of our pet kittens prior to releasing to their new homes.  Since Randy works as a Veterinary Technician with his brother Ken (BCSPCA Veterinarian of the Year 2002) at the largest and best veterinary clinic here, I know that our babies are getting the very best care and treatment when they go in.  During this last vet visit they will also have a full checkup and receive any last vaccinations needed before going into their new homes.  That means less stress for you and your new kitten.  It can be very traumatic going in for a vet visit and this allows our kittens to do this with a friendly face (my husband) as well recovering here at home in familiar surroundings.  As a responsible breeder, I also believe that early altering ensures that cats are not bred when they shouldn't be.  It is a huge expense and undertaking raising and breeding cats and only the best of the best should be used to further our beautiful breed.
