Welcome to theOriental Cats planet
We don’t have a large selection of kittens, our concept is sophistication, not overbreeding…
our Cats and Kittens
The key to a successful new relationship between a cat and human is patience - Susan Easterly
A kitten, whether pedigree or not is our responsibility from the moment you acquire it, needing your care and protection for the rest of its life. It is not merely something to feed, give attention when you feel like it and put outside it suits your purpose.

About us
We are based in Ireland
The Republic of Ireland occupies most of the island of Ireland, off the coast of England and Wales. Its capital, Dublin, is the birthplace of writers like Oscar Wilde, and home of Guinness beer.
We are a GCCFi, GCCF and TICA registered small and young cattery of Oriental breed cats where cats live with humans, sleep in our beds, settle on guests’ knees or unload their handbags. Our first Oriental cat was purchased in 2022. Since then we understood – Orientals are the best breed ever!
We do not gain for quantity, do not want to become the biggest cattery and meet the needs of the market in a fashionable color or type. Our cats are part of our life, vision and dreams. We do expect the same from the potential owners of our kittens
Up for a chat? An Oriental shorthair is always in talkative mood, with an unusual cry that’s commonly referred to as a honk. “They talk when they want something, want to know what’s going on, what you’re doing, or where you are”.
If you think that by purchasing an Oriental, you will have a cat – I can assure, that you are wrong. It is at least the dog (dog behaved), the monkey, the cat, the magpie and the devils know what in one body. And most of all – such a small man with a hundred intonations, intelligent piercing eyes, the elegance of a wild cat and an extraordinary stickiness to man.

Cat Show
We participate in regional GCCFI and international GCCF cat shows. It is a very slow process to title a cat, There are only three shows per year and it is not always possible to participate in them.
But it is always marvelous to win the shows, to see, how your “babies” win and be appreciated by colleagues and judges. The Judges word is a matter!
To enter a Cat Show you must apply in advance to the Show Manager and enter your cat in its relevant class. The different classes are published in the Show Schedule, which indicates the classes available for the different breeds and also the different judges who will be judging on the day. Some of these judges are Irish, but most come from the UK and Europe, and occasionally from even further afield.
On Show Day you must arrive early in the morning and your cat will be checked by a vet before being allowed into the show hall. All exhibits are required to have current vaccination against F.I.E. and cat ‘flu, certificates to be dated at least 7 days prior to the date of show. Once in the hall, you will settle your cat in a pre-assigned pen from where it will be judged. Any exhibit prepared for show in any artificial manner which changes its appearance relative to the Standard of Points shall be disqualified by the show manager. Every exhibit must be provided with a white sanitary tray, and clean plain white or near-white blanket or blankets without distinctive marking or edging, which may be arranged in such a manner as to assist the comfort of the cat.
Judging will commence at 10.00 am and Exhibitors will be requested to clear the hall until 1.00pm, while the Breed/Open Classes are being judged. Judges are empowered to withhold any prize, award or certificate, in any class, if the exhibits do not, in their opinion, possess sufficient merit. Prizes will be awarded from the Judge’s award slip and not from any catalogue or prize card. A Judge’s decision is final. An exhibitor may not approach a Judge, nor enter into conversation with a Judge, until that Judge’s engagement is complete. The cats are only removed from their pens to be judged and the public must not touch or handle the cats without the owner’s express permission.
At some point in the afternoon, results are put up on a notice board and you get to see how your cat has done. As the show is winding down, the Superb of the cats present are selected for Best of Variety and Best in Show awards.
Getting a kitten
Kittens MUST live with their mum and siblings till they are at least 3,5 months old. Socialization is a very important step in the life and growth of a kitten, they must be able to enjoy the teaching of their mum, siblings and of the rest of the cats that take care of our babies. All the kittens will be sold with their vet book where our official vet will report all the vaccination shots done at 8 weeks (the first one) and at 12 weeks (the second one). We deworm our kittens and we test their poo before they leave the cattery All the kittens will be identified by microchip, so don’t panic if we ask you a copy of your ID to register the cat at your name. In order to help our baby settling down in your home, we will provide a bag with his food, toys and a blanket that he used here with us with his mum and siblings. The starting kit with food will help in case you decide to change his diet to different brands of pet food from what we use at home so the change won’t affect him too much, Choosing a healthy pet food for your cat will grant him a long life free from useless health issues, their diet is very important just like it is for us. It’ very important to choose the pet food wisely and not make do with the easiest and cheapest choice from the market, you should always get the best for your pet friend.
Our cats are PRA N/A.
Signing a contract of sale is mandatory to adopt a kitten from us. Our contract is a warranty for us that you will take care of our oriental cat granting him care and attentions as a member of your family.. With it you sign that you will never not under any circumstances let our cat going outside but he will only live inside of your house and that you will not risk his life allowing him to access windows/balconies/terraces not protected . But our contract is also a warranty for you: we grant you the health of the cat we are giving you, that he is free from any genetic disease.
The Price it is not negotiable. It is pretty rude to be asked for a discount on the price. Oriental cats are pretty cheap if compared to other breeds while requiring the same amount of care and expenses. We are sorry if you think it’s too much but we can not make compromises if you don’t want to compromise also the health of your new kitten. If you are not willing to sacrifice to buy one of our cats, you will probably be cheap also with its food and care so you are not a suitable family for one of our cats.
