Rafoej Cattery, Wellington, New Zealand
Rafoej Cattery has been registered with New Zealand Cat Fancy Inc. (NZCF) since 1976. We are breeders of Burmese and Mandalays, including the striking new colour Russet. Kittens are available to good homes from time to time. For current details about available kittens please see our kittens for sale page.
Location
We are situated on a small rural property near Wellington but enquiries are welcome from anywhere in the country. Sending kittens by air to most parts of New Zealand is very straightforward and they travel well.
Breeding
We select strongly for health and temperament as well as for conformity to the breed standard. For more information on the breed standards visit the NZCF breed standard of points page. Our breeding cats have all been DNA tested for a wide range of potential genetic problems (see https://orivet.com/store/feline-disease-screens/4-feline-extensive-disease-screen
and www.mycatscan.com/product?interest=&breed=), and are free of Burmese Hypokalaemia Periodic Polymyopathy and Gangliosidosis, which are significant genetic diseases of some Burmese lines.
Our breeding queens and kittens live in the house and are used to lots of handling and to other cats and to having dogs around. They are not exposed much to children but get used to them very quickly in their new homes.
