My first breeding pair was Smoky and Tarzan. They have both died but had wonderful lives raising kittens together. They were both Persians. After 22 years we have successfully placed 398 kittens in forever homes. I now own 18 breeding cats. Only three are breeding at the moment. Other than cats I have three dogs, six chickens, two horses, one goat and a cow. All of our kittens are socialized with dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, farm animals, and children.
