New Kingdom Kittens!!
The third UK litter: four silver girls out of Emau's Nephthys of New Kingdom and GC Sharbees Mihos of New Kingdom. From left to right, Shakira, Tamyt, Amaunet and Daisy. All four spotted beauties went on to become foundation breeding queens for new Mau breeders in the UK; they will be found in the pedigrees of many British Maus.
I have been breeding Egyptian Maus under the Cat Fanciers' Association prefix "New Kingdom" since 1996, and the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy prefix "Newkingdom" since 1999. I imported the first Egyptian Maus into the United Kingdom in 1998, and am actively involved with establishing the breed in the UK.
I breed for health, temperament and beauty. My breeding cats come from top American, Canadian and European lines, and three of my foundation breeding cats (Mihos, Qetesh and Tetris) are CFA Grand Champions, and I have bred two CFA Grand Champions and two Grand Premiers. In 2001 Mihos was one of the first Egyptian Maus in Britain to obtain four GCCF Merit Certificates, and many of my kittens have gone on to win certificates and latterly titles with GCCF.
I currently specialize in breeding silver Maus, but I get the occasional smoke or bronze. I currently breed 2-3 litters of kittens a year.
My kittens are available to loving, safe homes. They are raised in the house and are very well socialised. They leave home registered with the GCCF, fully vaccinated with a voucher for 6 weeks free insurance. Most of my kittens go as pets, but occasionally I do have show or breeding quality kittens available and I am eager to mentor new breeders and exhibitors. My kittens are often booked months in advance so it you are interested in obtaining a kitten from me you may have to join a waiting list.
Very occasionally I may have neutered adult cats retired from breeding available to very special homes. Please ask me if you are interested in giving a home to an adult Egyptian Mau.
