Hank and siblings 1 month

This was my year for tuxedo kittens...this handsome boy is a Graffiti son and heres hoping he follows in his momma's pawprints in the showhall. He's certainly got that show purrsonality! If you'd like to meet him and other pretty kitties, he'll be at the TICA Wichita KS show, Sept 21-22. Stop in and cheer him on

They grow and change sooo quickly. Looking more and more like real kittens, than fuzzy worms

We have 3 adorable new scottish fold/straight kittens.

A lifetime of commitment

Here at Owhl, we pride ourselves in producing lovely, healthy, social kittens bred from top lines to breed standards. While my kittens are from award winning lines and have been some of the top winning kittens/cats of their breeds in the show ring for many years, my real pride comes from the wonderful companions and loved family pets they are.

I have been involved with Scottish Folds since 1984 and with Cornish since 2003. My life revolves around animals. I have worked as a dog trainer and currently own a mobile grooming business which specializes in cats. I have a small hobby farm, where my kittens, pups and chickens live a quiet peaceful life... I have shown in both CFA and TICA and have had top award winning cats in both organizations, for many many years, including National Winners, Regional Winners, Distinguished Merit winners, International Winners and Lifetime Achievement winners. Showing is a vital part of breeding and any REPUTABLE breeder will be doing so. Back yard breeders will always have an excuse as to why they don’t show, but the truth is... they don’t care about quality and it takes money which is all they’re into breeding for. If you’re looking for a well bred kitten/cat, you want one with Titled cats behind it.

I do my best to assure that your Owhl kitten will not only be a fine looking example of the breed, meeting standard, but is as healthy as possible. To this end, my cats are all health tested. They have been PKD screened, HCM tested... Are Felv/Fiv Neg. I’ve started Hip checking as well. All kittens leave fully vaccinated, dewormed and altered and with a written health guarantee. I take care of everything for my new families so all they have to do is love their new babies. Kittens stay until they are 15/16 weeks... meaning they are of an appropriate age to have been not only well socialized (kittens learn most of their social behavior... including litterpan behavior, between 8-12 weeks of age) but have as strong of an immunity as possible, which isn’t fully functioning til that age. While some people think getting a young kitten will help them bond, it really doesn’t and you risk both health and personality issues taking them too young.

While all these things are important... I realize what most families want is a loving baby that will be a good addition to their family. I only breed a couple of litters at a time and my moms aren’t even bred once a year as a whole. I only have a couple of litters at a time, so that the babies get lots of attention. They are handled daily, from birth and are raised with lots of love. They are used to playing with other kittens, dogs, mooching food and snuggling on the couch. I’m a groomer so they are bathed on a regular basis and nails are done weekly. I KNOW the personalities on my babies.. and I can help you find the kitten that will fit best into your family. I’m happy to provide references not only from my vets (regular, cardiologist, etc) but from my families as well.

I do keep a wait list.. and unlike so many of the Back yard breeders.. I don’t and never have required a deposit just for a chance at a baby. I’ve never understood why you would pay a deposit just for a “chance” at a kitten. I want a family that wants one of my babies because they understand the quality they’re getting, appreciate all the work I’ve put into them and have decided an Owhl kitten is what they want for their family...not because they’re “trapped” into it. Beware of breeders who demand money before babies are even born. There is no guarantee that a litter will have folds/straights...a particular s*x, how many will be born or that they will all make it. Things, sadly, can and do happen. I never take a deposit until you have chosen your kitten and I don’t allow that until the babies are a minimum of 7 weeks. If you’re waiting on a fold, it takes a month (NOT up to 8 weeks like some byb’s say) to know if a kitten will fold or not. By 7 weeks... I know not only ears, but more importantly Purrsonality. Lets face it... you want a baby that’s going to fit in with your family... one that suits your needs for energy, for attention needed, etc. Since I spend so much time with my kittens I can usually tell fairly quickly whether a kitten is confident, shy, in your face, playful, a snuggler... all those things that really matter. I also know quality, whether your possible new baby is pet quality, show, etc. I often sell show kittens as pets, some of the families choose to try their hands at it... and I’m happy to mentor them, some just want a quality kitten. Me... I just want loving homes for my little ones. I am here for the lifetime of your baby. Many of the families who get kittens from me become good friends.. coming back for a second, third or more kittens thru the years. I’ve done this so long, I now have children who grew up with an Owhl kitten now coming to me for babies for their own families.

I have spent my life, devoted to the breeds I love. I am on the breed committees for them, have been Breed Chair, and actually helped to write the breed standard for the Fold in Tica many many years ago. You’ll never hear me talk about how these are boutique or designer kitties.. these are loved living breathing babies. I have fought to preserve the breed, helping to get Straights accepted into TICA (I had the first Supreme Grand Champion Alter and Regional winning Alter... as well as the first Regional Winning Kitten) and to make sure that Back yard breeders won’t be able to legitimately use the breeds I love to create “designer” breeds. Beware of those who are mixing them with other breeds... they are not doing it for the love of the animal but to have something “new” they can charge a premium price for. NO legit organization accepts “breeds” like Kilts (munchkin x fold mix) or Puppy cats (Fold x munchin x pixbob) People doing these horrible breedings don’t care about the health of the kittens they’re producing and are lying when they say that there’s “no problems” Even experienced, reputable breeders who are doing everything “right” have the occasional kitten with OCD issues... and to think that you can combine structural mutations and NOT have issues is irresponsible and horrible for both the babies and the families that will pay the price.

I look forward to meeting more families, getting to know them and helping them find that lifelong friend, that baby to love, that companion to keep them company. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
