I guess we have to have higher breeding goals for the new year, and much higher skill sets for our cats 🤩

Not good post, but sadly this is how a cattery can be born, especially the past few years with the Maine C**n cat being ‘the’ cat to have.

Importing from Russia costs thousands of dollars PLUS the cost of the animals. It is horrifically stressful - they’re trapped in a crate and travel in cargo for +/- 18 hours. It must be terrifying for an animal who has absolutely no idea about what’s going on.

These European catteries have cashed in BIG TIME selling their animals sight unseen to people over here - because it’s a fad for the human race!

When you buy a specialty European Maine C**n - be aware that these animals have suffered, they are likely unhealthy, and have who knows what in their genetics.

But this woman has no clue and has just spent THOUSANDS on a dream that is likely not going to make her the return she’s probably hoping for, and I think that’s so sad 😢

The kitten in these photos seems to have a deformed polydactyl leg/foot and a runny nose and eye infection.

But - it’s not just that she has an infection, it’s common to have a breakout with stress, BUT - what strain of whatever is causing the runny nose did she bring from Russia to North America???

For example, I read that here in Canada we have an unknown strain of Rabies brought in through the ‘rescue’ of dogs from China. If that strain gets into our wildlife - we could be in serious freakin’ trouble!!!

These are things that need to be thought about before importing animals to suit human whims and fancies 😡😡😡

On the left is Martingale Lily (Marty), centre is Nankeen Lily (Nano), right is Xani (Nano X Ocean).

We haven’t tested Marty (Lily X Waldo) yet but he is the father of our current litter born Nov 4 ‘24 with our Nebelung girl, Nevaeh.

Nano (Lily X Waldo) is confirmed negative for Fel d 1 and is the father of our current litter born October 30 ‘24 with our own undesignated breed girl, Israel.

Xani is a Nano X Ocean son from last year - both parents confirmed Fel d 1 negative. He is amazing, cuddly, and stole my heart from day one as my boy, but he will not be included in our breeding program.

While this is a piece on just 1 drug, which we’ve repeatedly seen warnings about, it’s a good reminder about Pharma in general.

Pharma is not a cure.

Pharma addresses symptoms.

Symptoms are the body’s way of communicating to us that something is going on that isn’t ‘normal’.

Pain tells us to stop using that part of the body - something has gone wrong there and it needs to be addressed, . But healing and repair takes TIME, which is something we don’t respect.

Just stopping the pain, does not fix the problem, and continuing to use a part or area where something is wrong is more likely than not to make things worse - in the long run.

Pharma is a BILLION$ industry - that has gone off the rails.

This ONE product is only ONE example of millions of cases - of Pharma gone wrong, but it cannot be ‘proven’ so the train keeps chugging along without any brakes.

In my view, it is very, very, very scary!!!

Israel is a Nevaeh (Nebelung breed) X our own non-specific breed sire, Chevron (living in a home with several people allergic to cats).

Nano (Riverdale Nankeen Lily) is a Lily of Riverdale X Riverdale Waldo son.

There’s a saying I recently ran across, “People over profits”, and it made me think about what we’re doing in our cattery at this stage.

We are intentionally breeding physically and psychologically healthy animals, and every year without the intervention of allopathic (modern) medicine, big pharma, antibiotics, and vaxx - our kittens are becoming healthier and healthier and healthier.

An intervention does not create ‘health’.

An intervention creates an unnatural response to a symptom(s) that give the appearance of healing and the appearance of health.

Natural, whole, biological and species appropriate foods and nutrition creates health.

An environment appropriate for both physical and psychological development creates health.

A healthy body in a safe and clean environment (naturally, not highly and chemically disinfected) is capable of healing itself should an invader manage to get through the plethora of defences Mother Nature has created over thousands of years of R & D.

A safe environment allows for building confidence and appropriate psychological development.

MORE SO, we do what we do for the animals themselves.

The human race is suppose to have the “big brains” and should be capable of making informed and wise decisions, but - that seems to be less and less the case every day.

Around the globe, there are millions of unhealthy animals brought into our world - every single day.

Irresponsible people, back-yard and for-profit-only breeders, and, yes, even the pedigree crowd, the ‘elite’, produce unhealthy animals, and it’s those animals we do it for.

Those animals, born from unhealthy parents and raised in unhealthy environments - are the ones that suffer.

And we, the big brains, need to change the game!

This is our amazing Josie.

She is calm, gentle, affectionate, and since she got spayed - pretty darn laid back 😉

She doesn't have any bad habits and would be an amazing companion to a quiet home who just wants a great big, super soft, cuddle buddy.

She’s very comfortable with other cats and has been around a few different large dogs with no worries, but - she doesn't take nonsence either 😉 Having been a mom, she has no problem laying down some rules, lol!

And, she was an amazing mom, but she deserves her very own person/people now who will lavish her with love 24/7/365.

She’s almost 3 1/2 years old, weighs 16 lbs (so needs someone with some strength) and has had all of her Vxx etc.

You can see how big she is in the photo’s along side a yardstick.

Price is not so much the issue, but we will want a super fantastic awesome and life long dedicated person or family for her.

She has been raw fed the entire time she's been with us and to the best of my knowledge, has never been treated with anti-biotics (health freaks will know how great that is 👍👍👍).
