Welcome to the homepage of cattery "van de PoesPas"
Here you will find information about our cattery, our cats and our
vision on breeding Abyssinians.
Besides a collection of cats there are also two humans living here:
Jan-willem en Gerda van Eys
We've been breeding Abyssinians since 1994. Every now and then we have
a litter after conscientious planning. Our focus is on the colours blue
and cinnamon, although this
means
we see ruddy and fawn popping up in our litters too.
At the moment we are setting up a silver breeding program. Here our
main interest lies with the black silvers, however sorrel silver and
blue
silver probably will be seen too.
Our cats live in a homely environment and have a semi-free access to
our (escape-proof) garden.
Just as the adults, our kittens have the whole house at their disposal.
No room is sacred to them.
We're expecting a litter of Puck's Marali van de PoesPas in the
second week of February 2009
Jan-willem flew to Helsinki on the 20th of September 2008 to collect
our
new addition.
A quick round trip for Jan-willem (very tiring), but a comfortable
journey for: *FIN Omanion Aatos; in a travel bag for pets in the cabin
of the plane, mostly on Jan-willem's lap. Aatos traveled well only the
take-off and landing he found uncomfortable. At the check-in Aatos
loved
the attention he evoked.
Aatos is a Rudy carrying dilute. He will be our stud for the near
future. Eventually we will allow him a very limited number of outside
matings.
First we want to see how the kittens he'll have with our queens mature.
Taking pictures of our cats is also a hobby of ours, so if you like to
admire pictures of cats, you won't be bored.
