keeper of my heart .... night cuddle bug
Exotics
Himalayans
We have worked very hard in putting together our program and we happily refer to exemplary breeders. We are not a cookie cutter cattery staunchly supporting one Registry organization over another but rather true lovers of beautiful gentically healthy Persians and Exotics. Registering with other organizations is extremely expensive but we are getting there and we feel it is important to fellowship with as many experienced people as you can to continue your growth and knowledge.
We have chosen our foundation cats for the type and features they can bring to us, not for thier pedigrees and bragging rights. Our foundation cats have both Very Modest and Top of the Line Lineage. Breeding for show is an all consuming quest for the perfect kitty. What a neat ride however very time consuming, Expensive and addictive :) Belcherpurrs loves to pieces and owns fully all cats shown on this site with the exception of Thunder who is co owned with a very reputable friend.
We breed for our own pleasure, to SHOW standard as is the fun of this hobby. Those who know us know that we are reputable and clearly above board with the health and care given our kittys. Given a choice we prefer warm stable families for our kittens. I can count on one hand the number of kittens we have allowed to Breeding Catteries. When the time comes and we accomplish our goals we will participate more in showing.
A Sincere Note to New Start Ups:
Stay away from the gossips. Lift someone up. Be friendly and caring to those who come to you for advise once your feet are wet. Share your experiences so others may have it just a little easier. Never have more than 5 or 6 cats to take care of as it will be overwhelming when the kittens come and heart breaking when you just cannot get to thier care. We see it over and over. Learning to do what we do is a long road and one paved with huge heart break and massive financial losses. Lets share....new people will eventually have your offspring if not by you, by someone else....lets help them with the knowledge to take care of our babies.
Honesty is always the best policy when starting your own program. We will not knowingly sell to someone who is an unregistered cattery with little or no experience and without the financial backing to care for these babies. Patience will save you heart ache and a whole lot of money. At best your cattery will be a savings account and will never make you rich. At the end of the day you are neither up or down....just a little worn.
Being a Part of The cat Fancy is like living in a Small southern Town. We all know each other or of each other so please remember this when the temptation of spreading gossip is hard to resist.
Please be true to yourself and be sure you are willing to spend the time and money needed to begin this journey. Fellowship with those who will share. Once you have your cats they are yours to care for good or bad. They are not ornaments you can sit on a shelf when you are ready to spend time. They are sweet little animals who are at your mercy. Please Take care of them.
CFA Champion Patch, ESH
In an effort to spend more time with our family we have decided to cut back our program. Patch has been a super loving companion and while his pedigree is modest he was an excellent breeder and lent the most beautiful chocolate eye color, expression and weight to our line. Elle, Cupcake, Buttons and Precious are all his offspring.

CFA Champion Blue Thunder
This sweet boy will remain with me forever.
I really need a frontal baby pouch so my arms are free. We have been extremely blessed to have him. He's everything, beautiful eyes and color, short body, has amazing coat, strong breeder and that tiny nose is adorable. His breeder is exceptional, honest and one we refer to most often.

Handsome Johnson of Belcherpurrs
Bad Coach Buckus of Belcherpurrs
Retired, September 2009, Now in his forever home in Ft Lauderdale.
Gorgeous Thunder , Co owned with My Very Good friend Paula, has been a hit with our ladies. I am very Thankful to Paula for allowing our co ownership. It means a great deal to me and just cements the trust we have always had of each other. Thunders babies with Patches Girls are absolutely gorgeous. Very nice typy faces and short stocky build. The genetics are super on both sides and clicked. We are so very excited to have him help us with our Solid CPC line planned for Christmas 2010. We want a CPC program however with all things great, takes time. We want the same wide open sweet expression in our CPC, Himi line as we have in our Exotics and Persians. Can you imagine this face on Blue eyed white Exotics. We can. Hopefully 2011. Eye color is the key in your CPCs so it has taken a few years of research to acquire the right lineage from a small breeders who really care about the health of thier animals. We think we have what it will take to get there and look forward to our future. Big Hugs Paula!
Buckus is our Gorgeous Blue eyed white Himalayan. He was absolutley gorgeous as a kitten and had grown into a Beautifully very cuddly Typy boy. Weighing in at 13 pounds he is blocky and very short in the back. His head is amazing with a strong chin, tiny low set ears and is nicely extreme - his forhead, chin and nose line up perfectly. I love to touch his forhead - so smooth like glass all the way back. His eye color is an unusualy dark Steely purple we LOVE. We will try again to get a good straight on face shot. Sadly Buckus does not care for being on display and will not be shown. He is everything you could want however in your Foundation white Program. **Himalayan Blue eyed whites do not create deaf kittens.
