Credentials, health reports and pedigree proof.
We treat verifiability as a non-negotiable. Every claim on this site is backed by a document that we will send to any serious enquirer. This page summarises what is on file.

Veterinary Partnerships
We are not a self-supervised cattery. Three independent veterinary practices participate in the care of our cats and the placement of our kittens. Each partner has agreed to confirm our standing on request.
Pedigree Examples
A four-generation TICA pedigree accompanies every kitten. Sample pedigrees from our queens and studs are emailed to families before reservation so the line can be researched independently in the TICA database.
