Our cattery and where you can find us
The purchase of the exceptional cinnamon James caused an enduring facination with the Ocicat breed. We were given the opportunity to start a breeding program with James and his lilac (lavender) girlfriend Robin. We took the first steps in 1999 and that's when Cattery Oci van Diem was set up and that means that this year we celebrated our 10th anniversary.
Of course a lot can change in 10 years. We were sad to farewell some cats and a small army of little ocicat critters. Robin unfortunately passed away earlier this year. Others retired and are now leading a newfound life of luxury with their new owners.
Our current cat group is: a more mature and relaxed James, who still steals our hearts; Atisha and Arlen the 10 year old kittens from James and Robin's first mating; Rebecca "Tonga Toys Kiss me Quick", who with that apt name is very open, social and loving. This group is the basis for our cattery and they help the mums raise the little ones. Through years of experience they learn the kittens things such as opening of doors and fetch and retrieval and countless other naughy things.
Our aims and goals.
We endeavoour to guanrantee the health and the beauty of our cats and kittens. Our cats are routinly tested for PRA, FelV and FIV and are of course under supervision from a qualified vetrinarian. We carefully select the partners for our girls and aim to have the absolute minimum inbreeding.
