Build it Yourself
We put in a crazy amount of effort and love (& blood, sweat, and tears) in 2023/24 into creating the perfect home for our new and existing kitties. We are very proud of the cattery we are creating. Cross your fingers for more kittens this summer!

And Build it Some More...
In late 2024 year we invested further into our breeding program by building a specific Boy’s Barn, (or Stud Shed, or King’s Castle, whatever alliteration rolls off your tongue). This space allows them to have access to a safe and enclosed outdoor space and a super cozy insulated indoor space. We love spending time with them, laying on the sofa or swinging in the hammock.

Not Everything is Your THING...
If you know about us, you know that we are animal people. We love our cats, bunnies, dogs, and goats. However, if something isn’t right, and if it’s doing more harm than good, maybe it’s time to reexamine why you’re doing what you’re doing. We have been trying to raise goats for 4 years in hopes of milking and raising kids. We have had only one successful birth at the farm, and no chance to milk. It has been a lot of hard work, anticipation, and ultimate disappointment. We’ve decided that focusing on the cats and saving my back from the labor, is best for everyone. The goats are going to the best farm that I know of, where they will have loads of friends and hopefully many successful births and milk to give!
