The inclusion of Breeders in the list at no time indicates endorsement, or recommendation by the Society.

It is strongly advised, for all intending purchasers of cats or kittens, that you:

 

· Contact the breeder of your choice to enquire about availability of kittens

OTHER BREEDS

 

Some of our members own and breed other types of pedigree cats.

 

RAGDOLLS

The Ragdolls were originated by Ann Baker, a breeder in California, U.S.A., in the early 1960's. It is believed that a white Persian-Angora like cat was bred to a Seal Point Birman. One of the male offspring from this breeding was then bred to a Burmese.  This was the start of the Ragdoll breed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SELKIRK REX

This curly coated breed was first discovered in the USA in 1987.  A worker in an animal shelter noticed a cat with a unique curly coat and gave her to a Persian breeder named Jeri Newman.  That cat was bred to a Persian and her first litter contained 3 straight coated kittens and 3 kittens with this unique soft curly coat.  The curly kittens were bred to Persian, British and Exotics to develop the Selkirk Rex lines.
