We live in the small village of Cromford in Derbyshire, United Kingdom, and are easily accessible from the M1, junction 26 or 28. We welcome you to our website.
Silkiestar is my prefix. It has a special meaning. A Silkie is a magical enchanted creature, my pedigree cats are certainly enchanting. The 'star' part of the name is because many of my cats are show winners .... definately .... 'little stars'.
In 1996 I bought our first Ragdoll into our home. We were warned the breed was addictive, and yes, it's true. It is a wonderful hobby.
Many years later I am proud to have bred beautifull kittens, all well socialised, happy, contented, and raised in a loving home.
2002 bought a new experience - The Siberian Cat. I chose this breed for their character, size, health and availability of different colours. At that time I had no idea about their suitability for people who have an allergic reaction to most other cats.
I specialize in allergy testing. You are welcome to telephone for information or an appointment. There is a small charge for the allergy sitting.
I cannot explain in words the joy I have when I, and a kitten I have bred, sit with a family who are desperately wanting a kitten, but usually cannot have one because a family member has a 'cat' allergy. My heart nearly bursts with happiness when they start to realise that the person with the allergy has cuddled a kitten for quite a while, and taking a kitten home is now a possibility.
In March 2009, my first RagaMuffin cat arrived from USA. 2010 bought our first home bred litter, Cosmic Dancer gave birth to a litter of two girls and one boy which we are retaining. Frost, another lovely female will be arriving in the UK soon. The RagaMuffin is a recognised breed in many countries, but is new to the UK. It has the same laid back nature of the Ragdoll, in a kaleidoscope of colours and patterns.
Each of my pedigree breeds are bred strictly to their individual breeding policies. I am the founder of The Siberian Cat Club, Secretary of The Original Siberian Cat Club, and breeder member of The Siberian Silver Rose Society, breeder member/Vice Chairperson of The U.K. Ragdoll Breeders Society, and Member of The RagaMuffin Circle. I follow the breeding code and ethics of each individual club.
