The history of Moonkitten Cattery goes back to my own childhood.    My love of cats first developed at the age of 12.  I was fascinated by a cat breeds poster at the vet office and I begged my mum for a Burmese cat.  Unfortunately she was a dog person, having been president of the Kennel Club in Malaysia.   She she said no, no and no again.  However being the ultra-persistent child I was, I begged her for so long and so relentlessly that she eventually caved in.   I got my my first ever cat, a lovely brown Burmese named Kimba.

We were hooked.  My mom soon started breeding Burmese cats and I grew up in a house full of kittens.  It was glorious, and probably the best part of my childhood.

Fast forward a few decades.  Mum and I are telling my eight year old daughter funny kitten tales from when was a little girl:  One fell in the toilet.  One litter was born in my bed while I was asleep.   Another kitten somehow got stuck under the shower pan (we have no idea how she got there) and we had to remove the entire shower to get her out.   So many great memories. My daughter is immediately found on the internet searching for cats and decides she HAS to have a Ragdoll cat.  Life came full circle, (she apparently inherited her persistence from me).   We started researching Ragdolls.

Eventually we found a gorgeous Mink Seal girl called Diamond, and Moonkitten Cattery was born.  She became our first Queen and most of our current queens are Diamond’s daughters,  she is the super momma and has passed this trait on. 

We are based in gorgeous Ojai, Southern California. It’s a really beautiful town-a great day out when choosing, visiting or picking up your kitten.   There are great restaurants, activities for the kids and some amazing hikes to do before visiting us to pick up your new baby.   Some people even incorporate an adoption into a weekend away.

We live on a little mini ranch and you are welcome to bring kids, family and friends to come visit with us.  It’s super fun for the littles, they can come pet our pot bellied pigs, goats and chickens.   If you are really lucky we might even have some baby chickens for the kids to hold!
