Featherland Cattery

Featherland Cattery's breeding program in Southern California currently focuses on the elegant and intelligent Turkish Angora breed. However, we also enjoy bringing very special cats into our lives to show in Premiership. Our current show cat is CFA GRP RW, TICA SGCA RW Fig Kollibri of Featherland, a lovely Norwegian Forest Cat. Kollibri was CFA Southwest Region fourteenth highest scoring kitten for the 2003-2004 season and TICA's eighth highest scoring Alter in the Southwest Region for the 2005-2006 season. Kollibri's beautiful type and wonderful, playful temperament has been well-received by the judges. Above are two kittens from Featherland's first litter of Norwegian Forest Cats, born in August of 2005, CFA CH Featherland Dauphine and TICA GC Featherland Decatur.

Our Turkish Angoras have been doing very well at the shows and we look forward to continued involvement with these rare and interesting cats. Visit our Turkish Angora web page for a list of kittens and available cats. Our first Turkish Angora grand, CFA GRP RW, TICA DGCA Featherland's Fuzzy Slipper, was CFA's highest scoring Turkish Angora in Premiership and the Southwest Region's third highest scoring cat in Premiership for the 2001-2002 show season!

This is a picture of one of our Selkirk Rex. We were one of the foundation breeders of these cats and still dabble in them from time to time. For more information about the Selkirk Rex, see the Selkirk Rex FAQ.

We are also involved in Persian Rescue in the Southern California area. Please visit our rescue web site for information on adopting an adult Persian in dire need of a permanent, loving home.

Featherland's chocolate and lilac Persian program made incredible progress over the 17 years we spent working with these rare colors. GRC Featherland's Weird Science is CFA's first and only chocolate or lilac grand champion in the Persian Tabby Division and was the Southwest Region's Second Best Tabby Persian. Pictured is GRC Cactusway's Chocolate Memories of Featherland, CFA's third self chocolate Persian grand champion, shown in memory of her late breeder (and my mentor) Toni Renzacci. Visit this interview for a summary of my history and philosophy about breeding these rare colors.

This is GRC RW, GRP RW Castrovalva's Sir Fred of Featherland, a red Somali neuter. Fred was Fifth Best Cat in Premiership in the Southwest Region of CFA for the 1998-1999 show season. Please read Michael's heartfelt tribute to his Fred
