Our Beloved
Feline Family:
We are a small, cageless cattery, located about 1 1/2 hours north of Toronto, Ontario,
Canada. God has blessed our home with some really wonderful, loving, beautiful
kitties, that bring us so much joy! The little darlings' happiness is of the utmost
importance. I feed my kitties Iams Regular - it is a premium cat food, and they thrive on
it. They are given fresh, chilled, bottled water twice daily - only the best for my
kitties! My friends say that if they ever die they hope they come back as one of my
cats - a life of being pampered and loved (I secretly wish the same for myself - but then
who would do the pampering?!?) I love pampering my kitties, and get a lot of
enjoyment out of treating them like royalty. They are well "family" socialized,
as we have been blessed with our five year old daughter who loves animals as much as we
do. Bloodlines I am working with include: Barmont, Bolo, Vickits, Farallon,
Q-T Cats, Fountainhead, Ronlyn, Cattrax, Kitty Charm, Jovan, and Polcann. I am always
eager to learn the latest medical advancements; technology has made leaps and bounds this
past couple of years, and I find it very exciting. Fluffy Angel Persians is a Pkd testing
Cattery, using the best, most accurate facility in Canada - the University of
Guelph. All of my males and females have been tested, and my entire cattery is Pkd
negative! I am thrilled beyond words about this! The only kitties in my home
that have not yet been tested are Athena (she is still too young), and Muffin (who was too
close to her due date at the time of the most recent testing - June 27, 2002 - for her
first litter, to go through the stress of the test). Both of Muffin's and Athena's
parents are Pkd negative, so there are no worries there for me. Because it is quite
a distance from my home, and only a certain number of cats allowed per testing day, this
will be a continuing process as "keeper kittens" reach the minimum age (10
months). Results will be posted as they become known. I am dedicated to not
only breeding cats of excellent type and personality, but also cats that are healthy and
genetically sound.
I sell my show & breeder/show quality kittens to cageless catteries only - I don't
believe in caging social, loving animals such as cats. I understand that many males
spray, and need to be housed seperately - I myself have to do this with my three
boys...but the enclosures have to be very large to be acceptable to me - for their own
happiness. I feel that a minimum of 5' x 8', walk in enclosures, is adequate for
their well being - physically and emotionally. This is really important to me
- if I felt that any of my cats were not haappy and content with their lives, then I would
not keep them for my breeding program - I would find them loving pet homes. I am
happy to say that every cat here is happy and content - and spoiled rotten!
Our Chow Chow Family:
My husband and I bred Chows
for about 8 years. They are a wonderful, loyal, loving breed, and have added a tremendous
amount of enjoyment to our lives. Our Chows are not only of very good type, but have
exceptionally sweet, gentle personalities, which is every bit as important to us as their
conformation. They are of course very healthy also. We have never had a single puppy with
hip problems. We are also happy to report that we have only ever had two puppies show
signs of entropien (a fairly common eye problem with many breeds of dogs); and we never
used that female for breeding again. Because my husband switched jobs, and has much
less time at home, as well as I am kept very busy with my Persians and Amanda, we have
decided to not breed chows for a few years, and have kept Bear and Princess as family
pets.
For many years my husband and I ran a strictly non-profit, no adoption fee, Sanctuary for
unwanted, mistreated, neglected, and abused Chows. We sometimes had to spend months
rehabilitating Chows that had been abused, until they can once again love and trust
humans. Then when they were ready, they would be placed in appropriate homes. We have had
wonderful success, and are very happy to be able to save these dogs (some of which were
going to be put down by their previous owners). I feel that I should also mention that our
own private breeding stock was always kept completely separate from our Sanctuary Chows,
and that we have always had wonderful results from sales of our own puppies. We have
invested our time, energy and money into these needy Chows (never from our own breeding),
because we love the breed, and want all Chows to be happy. We are also well known in the
area we live in for taking in orphaned baby raccoons, wild baby bunnies, birds, etc. We
raise them, and release them back into the wild when they are ready.
Our Custom made Cat and Dog Beds:
I make a wide variety of cat
and dog beds. I guess what got me started was the lack of variety out there, as well as
poor quality materials, and inflated costs. So I thought, why not make my own? My cats
loved my first attempts, and I loved the fact that I knew the beds I made were of good
quality, and pretty coloured fabrics. I use only good quality, pre-shrunk fabric, and
premium stuffing. I hope you enjoy looking at the different varieties. If you are
interested, just email me with the bed name, size, and fabric. If you like one of the
fabrics I've used - great. I also have an "in-stock" fabric selection, which
means you will get your bed that much sooner. If you are looking for something different,
give me a description, and I'll personally do my very best to match your wishes. Almost
all of the bed styles are reversible, and can be washed in your machine. Enjoy!
Julie's Treasures:
I love beautiful things, and
I love to collect beautiful things. This is a hobby I get a lot of enjoyment
from. Because I cannot possibly keep all the beautiful things I collect, I have
listed some of them on their own webpage, titled "Julie's Treasures". Some
of these items I have purchased at auctions, estate sales, and yard sales.
Although I have not had time for quite awhile now to update this website, I have
left it on for those of you who enjoy browsing through it. I hope
you enjoy my special Treasures! www.welcome.to/juliestreasures
Here are another of my
special projects that I have not recently had time for, but are still quite fun
to browse through:
