About Us
We are Ray and Sally Dockstader and we have been breeding and showing the elegant Persians and Himalayans since 1997. The children have grown and so this is our second 'furry' family. We are located approximately 1 hour north of Syracuse New York, 5 miles off Rt 81 (about 5 hrs NORTH of NYC) See Pictures of us at the shows We always have cozy kitties on the bed at night. Our cats are not caged. The cattery is the house, not some separate building or remote area. We do NOT shave down our cats. Yes, we vacuum a lot, but having a full coat means that our cats get handled every day! It means they are used to bathing and combing. If you are not up to keeping up the coat, we suggest you look for an exotic (short-haired 'persian') - same look, short coat. We have a couple people we could recommend. From the time our kittens arrive until they day they leave, they are picked up and cuddled. They are part of our family and are never caged. By doing this, the kittens are socialized and friendly. Visit our GALLERY page Newborns are kept in a separate room for the first 7 to 8 wks where they have access to their own litter (Yesterdays News brand) and water and kitten food (Iams). Once they receive their first shots and are mature enough to be able to jump up over the baby gate, they are let into the rest of the house, one room at a time. By the time they leave, they will have had at least one experience with bathing and blow drying as well as with face washing, nail clipping and grooming. They will also have been introduced to normal noises such as TV, music and the vacuum cleaner! All kittens and/or cats are CFA registered when sold and have a health guarantee. Persian and Himalayan kittens and/or cats will be current on inoculations. We send our Persian and Himalayan babies home
with an "instruction manual" and all medical records and
the CFA registration papers as well as other interesting documents.
