Sweet and short legged
felines

We are a small family based
cattery, and are registered member of TICA,
WNCA .
Our lines are free of FIV, FelV and PKD. Our aim is to breed
healthy and good temperament family pets, and to introduce and share this
wonderful Munchkin breed with more people.
We have the most beautiful Munchkins in our cattery. And has bloodline that
goes as far back as 6 generations. All
of our cats have great temperaments, love people's company.
We hope to produce Munchkins
with long hair or short hair, in colors such as lilac or chocolate, to
create more distinct looking Munchkins.

Because
Munchkins already have cute short legs, we aim to breed Munchkins with
appearances like dolls (doll face) to enhance the cuteness of their short
legs. This way, even the long legged Munchkins will be as adorable as the
short legged ones.
Our kittens will go through the complete vet checks, worming, vaccination (at 8
weeks & and 12 weeks old), and will be desexed, microchipped,
come with a copy of
pure breed paper and gifts.
The kittens will
not need to visit your local vet for vaccinations until
they turned 1 year old. New owners will be able to enjoy the kittens'
company immediately.
We keep our
kittens with their mothers until at least they are 12 weeks of age. This is
to give them the most chance to fully develop their character, and learn how
to be sociable in a loving and caring environment provided in our cattery.
This way, every kitten that leaves our cattery will be fully ready to
embrace their new family.
The Munchkin breed is still
relatively rare in
Australia. This breed of cats have cute little short legs. Even though their
legs might be shorter than their cousins, they can still run and jump just
as well. Munchkins also like to stand up on their hind legs like a meerkat
or a kangaroo, to gaze their eyes on anything that they are curious of. They
are always sweet and loving, out going and affectionate, and preserves a
kitten-like personality even well into adulthood.
We are against the idea of
crossing Munchkins with other pure breeds ~ this is to preserve and extend
the diversity of the Munchkin line.

Why did I choose to breed Munchkin?
I am a home body, and also an
artist (Please visit My Art section of this site if you are interested). Art and
small animals have always been my passion since I was a child. After graduating
from an art high school in Taiwan, I then worked as an art editor for a
publishing company for 3 years. I then met my husband, followed him to a place
full of natural beauty that is known as Australia. I said to myself, it will be
a real pity to live in a place with great natural environment without animals by
my side. So I have acquired companionships from lovely small animals such as
rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, dogs and cats. And gave birth to my two beautiful
daughters.

For some unknown reason, my
eldest daughter developed a special affection towards cats from the age
of 3. All day long for weeks on end, she would pretend herself as a cat,
speaks and acts like a cat in everything she does. In order to get her
out of this habit, I made a promise to her: she can get a cat as her 5th
birthday present. In return, she must act like a little girl, not a cat.
Because only humans can look after and care for cats. If she is a cat,
she cannot do the same. After the promise was made, my daughter kept her
end of the bargain, and I started to search the web for a suitable breed
of cat that will be best suited for our family. |

At that time we already
have a Corgi as pet dog, and was curios to see whether there is a cat
breed with short legs to compliment our Corgi. This initial curiosity
lead me to find more information about Munchkins, and I was very
fortunate to meet one of the few Munchkins breeder in Australia -
Kari-Anne of MyMunchies cattery in Victoria. Through out my dealings with
MyMunchies cattery, I was really impressed and by the openness, honesty,
dedication, attention to detail of the breeder, and admired the
relentless of pursuit for excellence in the Munchkin breed displayed by
Kari-Anne. Thanks to Kari-Anne, we got our first Munchkin - Nana - to join
our family.
After experiencing the great
qualities of a Munchkin first hand, we could not help by the strong
desire to get a second Munchkin. We were very fortunate to get our
second Munchkin - Kaka - from MyMunchies cattery again. Kaka, with her
big eyes and wonderful personalities, captured our hearts in an instant,
and further strengthen our love in Munchkin as a breed.

I would like to express my sincere
thanks to Kari-Anne of MyMunchies cattery who have provided me with lots of
recommendations and inspiration. After long consideration, I have decided to
become a cat breeder as well. I wish to provide the feeling of trust and
dedication as a breeder to every cat lover, just like how Kari-Anne had provided
me when we first met. I wish to spread the joy and happiness of owning a Munchkin cat with everyone, so that more families can enjoy the love and
companionship of this special breed of cats.
