It is our mission to share this amazing breed with the world.
So you may be wondering, how on earth did we get started? Well, one day my husband told me he wanted a bobcat. Having worked with many exotics and even interned at a small zoo, I could confidently tell him that he did NOT want a bobcat. At least not one that lived in the house. Exotic cats are wonderful, but they come with a host of challenges. Challenges that a family with several small children and a busy lifestyle might find very difficult to meet. What you want, i told him, is something that LOOKS like a bobcat. With that goal in mind, I was originally interested in the Pixie bob breed, but going down that rabbit hole of research led me to discovering the Highlanders.
I decided to take a chance.
I'm incredibly happy that I did.
The rest, as they say...is history!
Alright, I'll fess up. For most of my life, I was a dog person. Don't get me wrong! I've always loved cats, and thought they were beautiful, but I never really connected to them the same way I did with dogs. I've always valued having active, extremely affectionate companions, and was convinced that a cat just couldn't fill that niche in the same way...and then we got Mew.
Boy, was I ever wrong. Our first Highlander (and foundation Queen of my lines) taught me that I had severely underestimated a cat's potential to be everything that a small dog can be and more. Now, I can't imagine my life without one, and I've decided to dedicate my life to sharing them with the rest of the world.
Alright, let's get down to business.
While I dearly wish that I could just give these guys away...I am definitely not rich enough to do so. These guys eat an extremely high quality diet and run through a good 15lbs of litter a day, and that's not cheap...so we gotta talk pricing.
I do not charge different rates for different colors, but I do differentiate between Standard and Non-standard.
A "Standard" Highlander meets the breed standard. It has all of the fun attributes that make Highlanders so unique. These kittens will have a naturally short tail between 2inches and hock length, normal paws, and curled ears. Some may have curly fur, and others will not. I have been encouraged to show my curlies and consider them to be standard at this time.
Non-standard kittens may have long tails, white markings, or polydactyl paws.
Standard kittens are: $1000 as pets, or $2000 intact
Non-standard kittens are: $600 to $800 as pets or $1000 to $1800 intact, depending on how many traits they are lacking to be considered standard.
ALL pet kittens will be altered before leaving my cattery. Intact kittens may be picked up at 12 weeks old minimum(some exceptions may be made for those traveling and needing specific travel dates, but no kitten may be picked up before 8 weeks), and I reserve the right to keep them longer if I feel they need extra time.
Pet kittens are altered at 12 weeks, and may be picked up the following week provided they are healing well.
Future litters in the works.
This litter will be between Rei, a show standard black silver ticked tabby, and Shouta, a solid black rexed longhair Highlander.
Rei and Shouta are both very snuggly purr machines, so I expect these to have wonderful temperaments.
This litter is from our lovely, sweet girl Nemuri, who is the snuggliest creature on earth, and Enji, who sired the first ACFA champion Highlanders, and is the grandfather of the first ACFA grand champion Highlander. His legacy has certainly left a mark upon the breed.
He has now been neutered and has retired to pet life, so this will surely be his last litter.

This sweet girl is only three years old, and is looking to join the perfect family as a beloved pet. Already spayed and ready to go. Loves calm dogs, and adores any and all attention. Always happy to be a lap cat.
She is a black silver ticked tabby with white, and has huge polydactyl paws on all four feet. One front wrist is slightly bent out as a result. It has been xrayed by our vet and determined to not be harmful to her quality of life or happiness.
All pet kittens will be spayed or neutered prior to leaving my home. Kittens come with TICA registration, 1st shots, and having been fecal tested to ensure they are free of parasites.
Our babies are adopted quickly, so reach out to reserve your furever friend or to ask any questions.
