What is a retired breeding cat? A retired breeding cat is a cat who has been spayed or neutered and is no longer active in a breeding programme. These cats are often looking for new homes where they can have the undivided love and attention they so deserve. It's not easy for breeders to part with older cats we have come to love and we are very selective about finding a perfect home for them. For more information on why breeders place their cats, see Barb French's FAQ on this subject.

You may notice that we seem to have quite a few retired breeding cats considering that we've been breeding few litters a year. We prefer to spay and neuter our cats young so that they can become beloved pets and sleep on their owners' pillows at night. Furthermore, excessive breeding of females is bad for their health and the need to keep the whole males seperate (to avoid accidental breedings) means that they don't get as much attention as we would like - which is of course 24 hours a day of  love! Another reason is because we prefer to only breed our cats few times, to make sure no one cat has too strong an influence on the gene pool.

If you're considering a purebred cat, you might find that perfect companion in a retiree. As breeders, we are always thrilled when that perfect home comes along for one of our retired babies! Most of the retirees here have already found their forever homes, but please visit our "Cats Available" page to see if we may have that perfect older cat for you.

Cats are pictured in chronological order, from the earliest in our program to the most recent.

QGC Celticurl's Killians Red

Retired show/breeding cat

Red crossed the Rainbow bridge on May 30th 2003 due to a reaction to anesthesia. He has left a great hole in many hearts and will be dearly missed. He was one of the friendliest and sweetest cats we've had the pleasure to know, although he always knew he was handsome and maintained an air of nobility. He was a joy to show and wonderful ambassador for the breed, both as a show cat and as loving companion.

RW Sarcenet Nation's Destiny

Retired show (kitten)/breeding cat

Pesters crossed the Rainbow Bridge in January 2007. She was diagnosed with vaccine site sarcoma about 18 months previously. She did wonderfully for all those months, but she was starting to feel some discomfort so we helped her on her travels. She was a wonderful bed cat and the house is now very quiet, as she lived up to her nickname of "Pesters" by always clamoring for attention. She is dearly missed.
