There are times in a breeder´s life
when things happen that you would not wish on your worst enemy.
These are the times when a much loved cat no longer feels happy within
her cat community, usually as a result of the stress of
competition or dislikes among the cats.
It doesn´t matter how many cats there
are living in a cattery, sometimes it takes just one
unhappy animal to cause "cat"-astrophe.
Then
the only realistic solution is to try and find a new home with
a caring human family. We too have had to part with some dear
cat companions through the years. The following cats are not living
with us - they are living with friends.

Shivaree
(F5), born 15th October 2004, black classic
tabby white
"Ivy" - second nickname "Pom Bear" was born in
our cattery. She is a solidly
built and muscular cat with good bone structure. She enriches our
days with her crazy ideas and habits - she is a truly exceptional and
unique lady and we are very happy that we kept her as a breeder. She
had only one litter:
and
has been a devoted, model mother.
We
had spayed Ivy because she has a cyst (but not PKD) in her
left kidney. Both, she and her parents have been certified PKD-free
by Dr Lüerssen. We discovered the cyst in December 2006
during a scan she
had whilst suffering from a severe bladder infection. Although our
vet has stated we could have let her have more litters, we made
our decision to spay her in the best interests of her health and
well-being. Ivy moved 2009 to Caroline and friends and enjoys her life
as happy pet.

Godiva, born 7th August 2002, silver classic torbie white (carries
dilute
and solid)
Godiva
- our fairylike lady. She is a
large cat with high legs, long body, a long
tail and heavy bones - her weight: 5.5 kg. She was a wonderful
and
playful
mother, unfortunately her litters kept getting bigger and bigger - last
and third litter: 10 babies:
(one of
the babies we had to put to sleep one day after
birth). So we decided to have her spayed. Godiva was very unhappy as
spayed cat in our crew, so she moved to Irmgard, Juergen and their
wonderful neutered male Chacoty. Chacoty is Godiva's second love
(after our first male "Rico") and she lives now a happy life as spoiled
pet - thank you, Irmtraud and Juergen!

Momo is a very affectionate and funny girl, she is a large
cat with high

We could have
mated her
once more to a male with good hips - but she was very "bossy" in the
crew
- so we had her spayed. Momo now lives with Erika, Hans and neutered
male Bobbit in Soltau. Erika and Hans - thank you so much!
