About the cattery

We can hardly be called particularly active breeders, with a grand total of three litters since we started with pedigree cats in 1991! It probably has something to do with how hard it is to part with the kittens after raising them, but there may well be more litters in the future.

The litters we have had are:

• Russian Blue litter in 1993, (N) Mentzoni’s Vodka, Vashka and Vanja
• Balinese litter in 1994, (N) Mentzoni’s Magic Mini, Mafioso, Montezuma, Musso and Mephisto
• Oriental litter in 2007, (N) Mentzoni’s Survivor Stubbs, Bombay Blues and Shifty Shades
