| Karen & Dottie's Kitties |
Hi! My name is Karen & pictured is my daughter, Dottie. My very first Persian was a dilute calico named Babycakes. I bought her as a high school graduation present for myself. She was the most gorgeous cat I’d ever seen. And her purrrsonality melted my heart!...so sweet & loving! Babycakes’ beauty and wonderful personality led me to breed bicolor Persians under the CFA cattery name CALILUV {“I love calicos!”}. I also got started on silver tabby Exotics. I had a great mentor, and still a friend, Ruth Fowler, of JARU Persians. She taught me pedigrees, health care, grooming, midwifery (kitty style), cattery management, showing, and litter box basics. Thank you Ruth for EVERYTHING!!! When I “retired” to start my own family, I placed my cats in pet homes. I was widowed in '95 & I’m raising my two "bio" children, Marc, 16, and Dottie, 14, and my adopted son, Phillip, 4. I also care for foster children and keep busy with my home-based business. Dottie shares my same passion for animals, especially cats! In 2004, I decided to get back into the hobby again on a very small scale. What a wonderful way to share one of my favorite hobbies with Dottie! Our cattery name, KaDoKits, is a combination of our names & our favorite pets: Karen & Dottie’s Kitties! For our first cat, I chose a Persian because of their tremendously sweet & laid back personalities. Dottie chose the color calico. After extensive searching, I found Candy. She is one of the most beautiful cats I have ever had. She has fabulous bone, body, head & ears. Her Purrty Katz pedigree includes Harwood, Ocalico, & Bolo lines. THANK YOU Brian Gravett for this lovely girl! Brian also blessed us with Rocky, our black & white Persian boy, who lives the royal life of a lap cat with my sister, Darlyne. He also has Harwood behind him & is mostly Brian's breeding (PURRTY KATZ). Thank You Brian for giving this recycled newbie a chance! I want to thank all of my new friends in the cat fancy for sharing their knowledge and friendship with me. It has helped so much to ‘refresh’ my skills and learn new things! I’ve had a great time meeting people around the world! A special thanks to Patty Stewart of Panei Exotics & Persians…for mentoring me & letting me ask you millions of questions! Purrs! Karen |
