Kattewyk Sphynx
From a galaxy far, far away...............came cats starring in a world of their own......
Welcome to All ......hope you enjoy my site!!
I got my first Sphynx, as a pet in 1988 and fell in love with the breed. At that time, there were less than 100 Sphynx in existence in the world and less than a dozen Sphynx breeders. Soon after that, I formed an alliance with other reputable breeders at that time, including Walt and Carol Richards, who are considered to be the "founders" of the Sphynx breed.
I got my first female kitten, "Gidget Goes Naked of Kattewyk" from a local veterinarian. This kitten had come from a natural mutation named "Lucy" that had been found in a barn in a rural area and brought to him. He recognized its genetic significance and began breeding her to a black CFA registered Devon Rex he had that was named "Dracula". Gidget was in the last litter they produced, as Dracula passed away before these kittens were born.
Gidget produced many wonderful kittens with outstanding males, such as legendary Britanya's Lord E. I'm Naked of Jokatta (a French cat) , Britanya's D'Gentle D'Joi (a Dutch cat), Britanya's Cream Odie Crop, as well as others. Some kittens I kept, of course, and I acquired cats from other lines, as well, over the years. I maintain a very small cattery, and limit litters to 2 or 3 a year, in order to devote my time and attention to each. My "real job" allows me great flexibility with my cats, as I own my own business and that affords me to take whatever time I need for the cats.
My philosophy is that the process of each kitten going to a new home is like an adoption and I am very concerned with the placement of each kitten. I am committed to the well-being of each kitten and its new family for its entire life! The Sphynx breed is the most energetic, intelligent and delightful breed of all! They are a blend of child, monkey, cat and even a little bit dog! Once you have a Sphynx, you'll never want any other breed!
I show in the TICA organization and have produced many champions, including Supreme Grand Champions and Regional Winners. My lines have produced International Winners as well, including Supreme Grand Champion Kattewyk's Nude Indigo of Britanya and Supreme Grand Champion Apophis Nordstrom of Classical Cats that was International Best Alter in 1999. I have served on the TICA Sphynx Breed Committee and am a founding member of the Sphynx Breeders' Consortium.
Please email or call me. I'm always glad to talk about Sphynx and what kittens I may have available. ( I'm in the Central Time Zone but stay up real late.) I am happy to furnish references of people that have gotten kittens from me, many of whom have gotten more than one or two from me!
