Korat kittens are looking for new homes. Their breeders live in Copenhagen and Antwerp. They can move to their new owners in October. Kittens will be fully vaccinated, microchipped and come with a pedigree from a renowned registry (FIFe/TICA).

No Korat kittens planned for this year and also not next. The cat on the right is a Bombay and she will probably have another litter in the summer.

Every breed has a standard, a set of "rules" that define the look and physical traits of the breed in question. The Korat standard is almost identical in all the major registries around the world (FIFe, CFA, TICA, GCCF, WCF). Very few minor changes have been made to the FIFe Korat standard since 1982.

The total sum of the standard is 100 points. Emphasis is put on body (25 points, head 20 points and coat colour/texture 30 points and eye size, placement and colour 20 points.

Here is the link to the FIFe Korat standard:

http://www1.fifeweb.org/dnld/std/KOR.pdf

And here are some pictures to illustrate what a Korat should look like:.
Head, coat, profile and body. Neutered Korats tend to weigh more than unneutered Korats. This refers to basically all breeds. However, the Korat body is not long and elegant. This is a breed characteristic of another blue breed, the Russian Blue. The head of a Korat has a heart shape which describes that it is not a long wedge. Korat eyes are big and round. The colour can vary from lighter to darker green, but it should not be emerald green (this is Russian Blue again). The Korat does neither have a short nor a long profile, but it is in proportion to the face with a slight indentation in the profile. There is a slight downward curve at the tip of the nose and the nose leather (lion-like).

For a breeder the standard is a guide-line h/she follows. There are individual preferences, e.g. some breeders focus more on coat colour others more on eye-colour and size. However, the overall picture of an "ideal" Korat as described in the standard should not be lost.

Liebe Interessenten, auf diversen Online-Portalen werden Koratkatzen angeboten, die definitiv keine Korats sind. Beide Elterntiere müssen registrierte Korats (Ahnentafel) sein, um als reinrassige Korats verkauft werden zu können. Wenn ein Elternteil eine Orientalisch Kurzhaar oder eine schwarze Hauskatze ist, werden aus den Nachkommen keine Korats!

In some German online market places you can find "purebred Korat kittens" who have one parent who is an oriental shorthair or a black domestic. These cats are not Korats. A purebred Korat has a pedigree issued from a major registry which certifies that a Korat goes back to several generations of purebred Korats.

PS: This Korat kitten pictured here has a pedigree 😉

Aus gegebenem Anlass: Ich stelle die Zucht von Koratkatzen ein, vermittle aber dennoch weiter gern Jungtiere, hauptsächlich für Interessenten aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum.
Befreundete Catterys in Deutschland, die Koratkatzen nach dem Rassestandard der FIFe züchten, sind:

- Labradorit (Potsdam) www.kaiserkorat.de
- of San-Chai (Duisburg) www.korat-katzen.de
- Ta Si Kheiyw's (Markkleeberg bei Leipzig) www.tasikheiyw.de

Diese Zuchten verfügen über langjähriges Wissen, präsentieren ihre Korats auf Ausstellungen und ziehen in der Regel als Hobbyzucht 1-2 Koratwürfe im Jahr groß.
Werden Sie hellhörig bei Züchtern, die mehr als drei Zuchtkatzen besitzen und Würfe bei "Co-Züchtern" platzieren.

Seit ein paar Jahren ist es Mode mit Zuchttieren aus Thailand zu werben, die angeblich das einzig Wahre und Echte sind. Hier ist Vorsicht geboten. Die Katzen entsprechen nicht dem Standard der Verbände FIFe, WCF, CFA oder GCCF. Sie mögen teilweise neue Gene für die Zucht liefern, sind aber als Haustiere nicht unbedingt geeignet, da sie recht "instinktbelassen" sind. Achten Sie beim Kauf eines Koratjungtieres auf eine Ahnentafel, die von einem der o.g. Verbände ausgestellt ist.

Kaufen Sie keine kleine Korat aus Mitleid. Sie unterstützen so nur weitere Aktivitäten dieser "Züchter und Züchterinnen".

Korat kittens born in Germany (Leipzig area).

13/08/2020

Memory lane. Today 20 years ago my second Korat litter was born. It was a trio: Platinum Silver Lilith, Platinum Silver Star and Platinum Silver Gino. The boys went as pets to Berlin and Switzerland. The girl, Lili, stayed with me and became my breeding and show cat. Star and Lili died 6 and 5 years ago. Gino died recently (07.07.20), meaning he almost reached the big 20.

Here is a picture of him. He had a wonderful life with his cat mum in Switzerland.
The other picture is Lili with me somewhere in a show hall in Europe.
