Are
you interested in a rescue Oriental or Siamese?
Occasionally
cats whose owners have died or have fallen on hard circumstances become
available. Often these are adult cats, sometimes with special needs,
only occasionally kittens, but in all cases these cats need good loving
homes. These cats are not free, costs usually include covering low-cost
spay/neuter, vaccinations, and transportation if necessary. Nonetheless,
they are typically much less than a pedigreed kitten purchased under normal
circumstances. Plus, there is the bonus of having rescued a cat who
has fallen on hard times. Currently a solid black Oriental "Jackie
Chan" about 2 to 3 years old is in foster care with me in Youngstown, Ohio.
More info and a picture here,
along with info on some other Orientals and Siamese.
If you are interested, check out Meezerpleasers
which handles Siamese and Orientals,
Siamese Rescue, which often also has Orientals, these Purebred
rescue contacts. or the more inclusive
Feline Rescue Network for additional information. |

other litter born Feb 2, three boys and one girl scattered bottom and right

at least some will be seal-lynx points like their mother Desdemona.

Much more rarely
kittens with show/breeding potential are available to serious hobby breeders/exhibitors.
For those who might be interested in the world
of showing and maybe breeding pedigreed cats, feel free to contact Heather
Lorimer about it. However, though breeding Orientals is a lot of
fun, and the kittens and cats are charming and entertaining, it is an expensive
hobby. You will not "make money" doing it. Any compensation
from kitten sales is more than offset by the cost of high quality catfood,
entry fees to shows, vaccinations, toys, and healthcare. Fortunately,
spayed or neutered cats are eligible to be shown, so you can show without
the expenses and risks of breeding. |

I
love to get pictures back from owners of cats that I raised as kittens,
take a look at some sample photos of Synergy
cats from their human companions

Not
sure that you want to deal with the high activity level of a kitten?
Willing
to spend time getting to know a mature cat?
Do
you want a pedigreed cat of known personality, already neutered or spayed,
for substantially less $ than a kitten?
Consider
adopting a "retired" adult. Most of these cats were show cats/ moms
or dads. Their offspring are carrying on the work that they are done
with. They now look forward to a long and happy retirement as someones
beloved lap-cat.
YOUNG
ADULTS: I look forward to finding my young adults good
homes where they can be loved, played with, and spoiled as they deserve
to be. These cats are all neutered or spayed, and are mainly retired show-cats
and/or breeders. I don't breed cats for very long as it is hard on
cats to be kept "whole" for more than a few years. In fact there
is evidence that cats that are neutered or spayed before sexual maturity
stand less risk of getting some diseases/cancers. For those on a
budget, these cats are less expensive than kittens, they are also more
restrained than the rather exhuberant kittens. Their individual personalities
are well known. They are a bit slower in adjusting to new homes and
animal companions, but make as wonderful of companions as kittens do.
Available Adults:

| Now available! Grand Champion Synergy Mylar. ebony silver ticked
tabby born 7/15/99. Mylar is a sweet boy, and a goofball, if a bit
of a wimp. He is a beautiful boy, recently neutered. He would
be a good cat to show as an alter, and would be very happy just to be a
lap cat. He loves to play, He is a very "extreme" Oriental,
long, tall, and slender. He would do well with other young and lively
cats. |

"Navarre" (Synergy Navarre) Very handsome,
serious looking, ebony ticked tabby. About 5 years old, neutered.
He loves to be petted and loves to sleep with people, although he is quite
shy with strangers,. Comes when he is called. He should
probably be a single cat or have only a female cat as a companion.
Likes to wrap himself around your head in bed and purr hard. |

Tandi is a rare shaded silver. She
was born on October 20, 1998. She is spayed. She is a shy cat
that likes other kitties. She is a bit of a wimp, and easily billied
by dominant cats. She needs a quite home with friendly cats.
She loves to have her belly rubbed and purrs very loudly when she gets
a good tummy massage. She is shown here in a favorite warm spot,
the top of the cable box, with a kitten friend ("Cute"). |

Special
Needs Kitties:
These
are cats that are available for adoption to homes where they can get the
care/attention that they need. Each of these cats has an unusual
physical or personality trait that has caused me to keep them until they
are grown and not to sell them as kittens for my regular kitten price.
These cats all have features that will make them wonderful pets to the
right home, but have some sort of special need.
Pirate,
born in December 1999.
Pirate on the right with his buddy Spock who now lives in Connecticut.
Pirate shown on right has only one eye. He lost the other in early
kittenhood, surgery to repair what could be repaired was done when he was
neutered at 6 months old. His one remaining eye is in perfectly good
shape fortunately. He is a warm ebony tabby with long legs.
He likes to play. He is a little shy and somewhat clumsy, but he
is sweet, a cuddle-bug, and gets along well with other cats. He was
born in December 1999.

"Lucy" (Mitsomews Sparkle Plenty of Synergy)
is a very friendly ebony silver ticked spay, about 5 years old. She
loves people, but is a little jealous with other cats. Lucy is a
definate lap cat and something of a "Social Butterfly"
and "Green-eyed Monster". Lucy is shown here with her kittens,
the little silver guy grew up to be Grand Champion Synergy Mylar.
Lucy is now a special needs cat as she was discovered to have (early) breast
cancer. A radical mastectomy was done in spring 2001.
She recovered quickly and has no sign of reoccurance, but cats typically
do have reoccurances. Its a real pity as she is a beautiful cat who
loves people, but does not relish all her feline competition in my house.
