Hello everyone. Before reading the adoption information below, we kindly ask you to take a moment to read this message first. We will gradually be looking for suitable new homes for some of our retired breeding cats. Since the establishment of our cattery, we have only rehomed one retired cat, as she was more independent and better suited to a household with fewer pets. All of our other retired cats have stayed with us simply because we could not bear to part with them, and they have remained with us to enjoy their retirement.
The primary caregivers of our cattery have always been my mother and myself, both of whom stay at home full time to care for and accompany our cats, with other family members occasionally joining in to play and spend time with them when they are home. Our house has two floors, and the cats are distributed between both levels to reduce density and ensure comfort. Because my mother and I deeply love our cats and rarely go out, in previous years we made sure that at least one person was present on each floor to keep the cats company. As a result, our cats have been accompanied by us almost all day, every day, throughout the year.
However, in 2025, our family experienced a difficult loss. My uncle passed away due to illness. Previously, my grandmother had been cared for by my uncle, and after his passing, my mother took on the responsibility of caring for her. As a result, my mother had to move abroad in 2025 to look after my grandmother, leaving me as the sole caregiver and companion for all of the cats at home.
Our cats truly have exceptionally loving and affectionate personalities. They are deeply bonded to people, very clingy, and emotionally sensitive. Over the past year, I have come to realize that, as one person, I am no longer able to provide every cat with the level of companionship they truly deserve. Some of our cats have especially high emotional needs, and with limited time and energy, I often feel unable to meet those needs fully. This has brought me a great deal of guilt and self-reflection.
Because of this, I have begun to reconsider whether keeping all of them with me is truly the best choice for them. Holding on out of my own reluctance to let go, while knowing they may not be receiving enough companionship, does not feel like the right decision. Therefore, I will gradually begin looking for new homes for a few cats who have particularly high emotional needs and who would thrive in a home with more dedicated human companionship.
Please understand that I may be very selective when choosing new families—perhaps even more so than when placing kittens. Our retired cats have been deeply loved and cherished their entire lives, and they have truly been spoiled. My hope is to find families that are even more suitable for them than we are, and who can provide them with the same level of care, attention, and love that they are accustomed to. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and kindness.
OUR RETIRED QUEEN - RIA -AVAILABLE
Ria is a British Shorthair with black golden shaded coloring, coded as NY12, born on May 16, 2021. She is a truly beautiful girl, with a warm, radiant golden coat and exceptionally large, expressive eyes, sometimes it feels as if her eyes can speak. She has an exceptionally wonderful temperament and is extremely affectionate, people-oriented, and very intelligent. Ria is also highly sensitive and emotionally perceptive, with a remarkable ability to sense human emotions. Once, when I accidentally started crying while watching television, she became really worried, repeatedly jumping onto me, gently patting me with her paws, and meowing as if asking what was wrong. Later, I noticed that whenever I sing, she immediately comes over to check on me, likely mistaking singing for crying. She looks deeply concerned, presses herself close, and tries to comfort me. She is truly an incredibly attentive and thoughtful cat. Ria is very people-loving and enjoys all forms of affection, including cuddling, kissing, and being held. She often comes to sleep beside us and, when we are busy, stays close by as if quietly keeping watch. She is a cat with rich emotions and high emotional needs, and she thrives on close human companionship.
During her breeding career, Ria had only one kitten, Mochi, whom we decided to keep with us. We did not arrange further breeding plans for her because she is a more petite girl in size. Later, we adjusted our breeding direction by introducing more traditional, larger-bodied Kings, and for safety reasons, due to the size difference, we chose not to pair her again. However, we did not spay her at that time, as we wanted to preserve her future breeding possibilities. Only recently did we officially have her spayed, and she has now fully retired from breeding. She is also up to date on vaccinations and routine veterinary checks, and has been genetically tested.
Ria gets along very well with other cats, but we would preferably like to look for a home that currently does not have any cats. We hope she can be the first cat in her new family, receiving sufficient love, attention, and companionship as the “only child” at the beginning. In the future, if her family wishes to add another cat, we would prefer that Ria first has the opportunity to fully enjoy being the center of attention and establish her sense of security as the “older sister” of the household.
Another reason why a single-cat household may suit Ria better is that she occasionally experiences mild allergic reactions. After around two years of age, she has experienced mild skin flare-ups approximately once a year. After veterinary examination, these were identified as allergic reactions. In a multi-cat household, even when fed a hypoallergenic diet, it has been difficult to fully control her intake, as she would occasionally eat food meant for other cats. Especially breeding cats, we often give a variety of different meats for nutritional purposes. That said, her allergies appear suddenly but also resolve quickly. They have not required medication, typically, after wearing an e-collar for a few days to prevent licking, she recovers fully. The frequency is about once a year so she does not require any special or intensive care.
We hope to find a home where someone is usually present and able to spend plenty of time with her, as companionship is very important to her. We are also looking for a family with a stable financial situation and a stable living arrangement, with no plans to relocate abroad in the future. Ideally, we would prefer the new home to be within driving distance, as we would not want her to be too far away. We also hope to have the opportunity for future home visits.
AAdoption fees can be found in the questionnaire. If you are interested, we kindly ask that you complete the questionnaire first, then send us a brief message introducing yourself. Photos of your living environment would be greatly appreciated if available. We also believe it would be best to arrange a meet and greet before making any final decisions.
OUR RETIRED KING - HECTOR - AVAILABLE
Hector is a British Shorthair with blue golden coloring, color code AY11, born on April 11, 2021. Both of his parents are World Champions. He has a very short, thick coat and a strong, muscular body. Beyond his handsome looks, Hector has an amazing personality. Every time you call his name, he answers. He loves being close to people, enjoys being held, and always chooses to stay near his humans. He is the kind of cat who will happily greet you whenever you walk past. Hector also loves “talking” and will often have little back-and-forth conversations with people, making him a very charming and interactive companion. He absolutely loves being petted, especially his adorable chubby belly and little primordial pouch, which is incredibly soft and irresistible to touch. Even if we pet him a bit too long and he gets slightly annoyed, he still does not get mad at all and remains an exceptionally gentle and easygoing boy.
Hector still loves chasing and playing with girl cats even though he has been neutered for quite a long time, but he does not get along well with other boys and can be quite territorial around them. Because of this, he would do fine in a home with a very sweet female cat, but we would preferably like to find him a family that currently does not have any cats. Similar to Ria, we hope Hector can be the first cat in his new home, receiving plenty of love, attention, and companionship as the “only child” at the beginning. If his future family wishes to add another cat later on, we would like Hector to first fully enjoy being the center of attention and build a strong sense of security as the “older brother” of the household.
Another reason a single-pet home is preferred is his great appetite. Hector is very chunky and chubby and is right on the edge of being overweight. We carefully manage his food portions, but in a multi-cat household he always finds ways to eat other cats’ food.
Hector does have one very minor imperfection we’d like to be transparent about. One of his eyes occasionally waters and has slight tear staining, which began in his adulthood. Our veterinarian explained that this is quite common in British Shorthairs due to their shorter noses and mild tear duct blockage. At one point, with regular gentle massage and warm compresses, it did improve and went away for a period of time, though it later returned. Flushing the tear duct under anesthesia is an option, however, our veterinarian does not recommend it, as there is a risk of re-blockage and it does not affect his health or comfort in any way. This is purely cosmetic.
Hector is up to date on all vaccinations and routine veterinary checkups. He has also undergone genetic testing and has had an echocardiogram performed, providing additional reassurance regarding his overall health.
We hope to find a home where someone is usually present and able to spend plenty of time with him, as companionship is very important to Hector. We are also looking for a family with a stable financial situation and living arrangement, with no plans to relocate abroad, and ideally one that can continue the same diet we currently provide. He eats one wet meal per day, with brands including Ziwi, Acana, Feline Natural, Tiki Cat, and Royal Canin, along with Orijen and Royal Canin dry food, and occasionally boiled chicken and shrimp for added variety. Ideally, the new home would be within driving distance, as we would not want him to be too far away, and we hope to have the opportunity for future home visits.

Photos of your living environment would be greatly appreciated if available, and we believe it would be best to arrange a meet and greet before making any final decisions.
Even after sharing these posts, I would like to be honest that I am still in the process of thinking and reflecting, and I have not yet fully made a final decision. Emotionally, it is extremely difficult for me to let them go, but rationally, I do believe that a single-pet home may be able to offer them more dedicated attention and companionship.
If your application does not receive a response, please know that this does not reflect anything negative about you. It may simply mean that the match is not the most suitable at this time, or that I am still working through my own decision and have not fully made up my mind. I truly appreciate your understanding and kindness.
Please fill out the Questionaire if you are interested in reserving the Kittens, you will be contacted after the submittion of your Questionaire. Thank you.
