Welcome to the home of

My goal is to produce Coat and Color
QUALITY/Breeder and Show QUALITY Kittens keeping the health of the parentage
intact. My special project goal right now is to produce the curliest Selkirk
Rex Kittens EVER! I breed my cats for the LOVE of cats and I am determined to
put excellent quality cats into your homes for you to LOVE.
My Cattery has been in business since 2000, which at that time I only had two
Himalayan Females. I now raise the
Selkirk Rex and loving it dearly. The Selkirk Rex originated in 1987 from a
female blue-cream and white kitten with green eyes in an unusual curly coat.
She was found at the Montana Humane Society and named Miss DePesto, “whiskers
were curly, ears full of brillo hair, and body coat looked like a body wave.
Miss DePesto was bred to a black Persian, in a litter of six, three were curly.
The following year a black/white curly male was bred back to his mother and of
the four kittens born, three were curly and one straight hair. The conclusion:
Miss DePesto was the beginning of a new mutated gene. It does not matter if
curly or straight hair they all have a wonderful loving personality. The
Selkirk Rex comes in long or short curly or straight hair. They are so cute and
lovable that I know after you see one you'll want one of your own to love.
I have a wonderful husband, two boys, three step-children and grandchildren. I
have a couple of grand-daughter’s Jasmine and Danica that have shown
cats in shows and Danica has her own household pets that she shows.
I am proud to announce that Kimmet’s
Cuddly Bunch – Cuddly Fur Cattery has expanded and we now are breeding Boer
Goats. Kimmet’s Cuddly Boer’s are registered with USBGA. We found the Boer
Goats are a pleasure to watch and very entertaining. We hope to have Boer Kids
for the County fairs.
