🌴🐾 Carbonel Cats is on Holiday! 🐾🌴

The Carbonel Cats team is taking a little break to recharge and will be back on 31st August. ✨

Thank you for your patience with messages during this time — we’ll get back to everyone once we return. 💌

Don’t worry, the kitties are being thoroughly spoiled and well looked after while we’re away. 🐱💖

The Carbonel team had a fantastic day at the TasFelines Recycled Ribbons Show! 🐾✨
We took 7 cats and I’m beyond proud of every single one of them and their placings. 💖

🏆 Carbonel Beyond Time (Greta) – 4th Best Exhibit in Show under Michelle Hinder
🏆 Carbonel Sam I Am – Reserve All Breeds Exhibit in Show under Sandra Dukes
🏆 Apocalyptica D’Artagnan (Milo) – Reserve All Breeds Exhibit in Show under Anne Harvey
🏆 Carbonel Dr Expresso (Doc) – Supreme All Breeds Exhibit in Show under Sandra Dukes (owned by my partner Ned)

So proud of our cats, our team, and the amazing community spirit of the day! ❤️🐱

Let’s talk about responsible breeding – and the hate we get for it.

Yes, I’m a breeder.
But not just any breeder — I’m an intentional, ethical, educated, and deeply devoted one.

Every kitten I raise is part of a bigger picture — one that protects the health, temperament, and future of beloved breeds like the Siamese, Ragdoll, Maine C**n, and so many more.

Without thoughtful breeders, these incredible cats wouldn’t exist.
No preservation of their traits, no predictability in personality, no continuation of their stories.

We health test. We do genetic screening. We focus on behaviour, socialisation, and confidence.
We’re not “just making kittens” — we’re raising future companions, therapy animals, show stars, and most of all, family members.

Yes, we know there are bad breeders out there.
But there are bad apples in every profession — and it’s the good ones who are working tirelessly to raise the bar.

We breed with love. With science. With purpose.
And we welcome questions, transparency, and accountability — because we care that much.

You don’t have to love the idea of breeding.
But take a moment to understand what responsible breeding truly looks like.

We’re not the problem.
We’re part of the solution — for healthier, happier, better-loved cats.
