WEBSITE UPDATED: JANUARY 6th, 2009
LaChrista Cattery has been showing and breeding Siamese and Oriental ShortHair cats since 1992. This site has
been created in our desire to share our wonderful 'cat-kid' family members with you. We hope you find your visit both enjoyable
and informative. Welcome to our world!
What prompted our decision to begin working with these wonderful breeds? Many things, not the Least Being
our Sheer Love and Respect of the Siamese and Oriental ShortHair Breeds. Thier Affection, Playful Antics and Supreme Joy for
Life is a very special part of thier attraction.
Our Cattery is regularly up-dated with renovations to our Nursery, our Stud Quarters are completed -
for now, this spring we plan to add a large outdoor enclosed deck with stud runs for warm, sunny days, and of course
our Girls always have run of the house.
I wanted to give you a sneak peek at some of our new cats we are going to be working with, some are of new lines and
yes, we did retain our outstanding Seal Point Line from
SGC/RW LaChrista Artic Ladie. - March 16th,1994-January 18,2008.
I miss you my darling companion, you are forever a part of my heart.
Ladie will be recieving her own special page soon. We hope you will watch for and visit it to learn more about
just how remarkable these cats can be.
As of January 30th, 2005, LaChrista has Adopted A New Policy on the Sale of ALL PET KITTENS. All Kittens
will be neutered/ spayed Prior to leaving us. We have adopted this policy both for the convience of our clients and the welfare
of our kittens. As Siamese and Orientals are sensitive to anesthesia, we found it safer to have our regular Vetrinarian perform
the surgery while the kitten was in our care, this allows us to follow-up with Re-checks after surgery to prevent occurrence
of infections or hernias caused by poor surgery technigues, therefore ALL Qouted kitten prices will in future reflect the
cost of the spay/ neuter procedure included rather then being added seperately. We Still offer our written TWO
Year Health Guarantee and ALL Kittens or Retired Cats are thouroughly checked by our Veterinarian prior to being picked up
by thier new owner.
Kittens may go to thier new homes at approximately 14-16 weeks of age, after first vaccinations are recieved,
and depending on each individual kitten's growth and emotional needs. Kittens must be both emotionally and physically
ready to leave thier Mom and siblings. NO KITTENS WILL BE SHIPPED OR RELEASED PRIOR TO 14 Weeks Old, NO EXCEPTIONS.
We do not generally sell kittens with open Breeding rights except to Already Established, Registered
Catteries actively involved with both Breeding and Showing of Registered, PureBred cats. If you are interested
in Showing, we do sell Altered Show Quality Kittens, Cats to people wanting to participate in this wonderful Hobby.
Should you be interested in Establishing a Registered Cattery, we occassionally assist people on a one to one basis
with developing thier lines, attending shows, etc. If you are interested in breeding or showing, please let us know
when you contact us about kittens, we would be happy to discuss it on a person to person basis as we get to know you.
This site will undergo many changes in the next few weeks and months as we add and rearrange things, so please be
patient and enjoy your visits during the changes. We'd love to hear from you with comments, questions and suggestions, so
don't be shy on writing !
Don't forget to check out our Links page, it has loads of helpful information on all breeds of cats.
Enjoy Your Visit !
