DNA tested: yes

Sugar Plum Pipsqueak is the first kitten I have allowed myself to keep from a litter that has been born in house. 

First taken to stud aged 2 in early 2024, unfortunately my very shy and particular little lady was very unhappy with her surroundings & the set up. This inevitably ended up without a pregnancy. To overcome this, the Cattery had given me permission to bring her male to my home where Plum would be more relaxed. However life cruelly transpired to change all of my plans for the entire rest of the year as my best friend received a devastating cancer diagnosis which required prolonged aggressive treatment. 

In 2025 after a perfect HCM screening result when Plum began calling we ready ready to go again. I was on the cusp of setting out on a long journey to visit a newly chosen stud, when suddenly life once again intervened. Again, the year’s plans were set aside as my mother’s health nosedived.

We are now just into 2026. Plum has her new heart screening appointment set up for late February. I am hoping it will be third time lucky and that this time Plum can finally get to produce her first and much longed for litter. 

PRUNELLA PRUDENCE (retired 2024)

Registered Full Pedigree INACTIVE 

Female Sphynx Cat

TICA registration: SBT 100817 029
Name:Pet Name(s): Prune, Pru
Date of Birth: 13th October 2017
Eyes: Yellow/Green 
Colour: Solid Black

Having birthed 3 beautiful & healthy litters of kittens, Pune was prevented from having kittens during several years. First it was Covid & me breaking my ankle. Then after the birth of her next kittens the subsequent cost of living crisis hit which impacted many breeders. I had decided to keep a girl from this litter but I had two males who did not sell. I’d intended a litter in 2024  it just as my friend got her cancer diagnosis I noticed Dear Prudence was suddenly not looking well.   Rushing her to the vet it was discovered that Pru had developed an enormous - thankfully still intact pyometra. Emergency surgery saved her life in the nick of time, photographing it laying in its kidney dish my vet said he had never seen such a large pyo in a cat. It was full of pus and had it burst undoubtedly catastrophic sepsis would have taken her She survives thank goodness but it drew her breeding career to a firm close. 

I feel enormously privileged to have shared in the births of every one of her kittens. I’m honoured to have served as her willing nursemaid supporting her to raise incredible little characters, each one a stunning example of the breed. I’m enormously grateful for these wonderful experiences and for each of the amazing people who subsequently came into our lives as the adopting families. 

Now that she is retired Prune is regal and majestic - a quiet and gentle matriarch who loves nothing more in winter than to perch on my warming bedroom radiator. For some reason her favourite cuddle is to lay right up high on my chest and nothing I do will dissuade her when she decides it’s time. She prefers solitude - snuggling upon a heat mat hinder a blanket avoiding rambunctious Floozy but she will tolerate the company of her adolescent adult daughter Plum. Prune can still sometimes be surprisingly lively and I love seeing those little reminders of her as a young kitten and adolescent adult though she definitely cannot jump to the heights she used to.

FLOOZY BLUE (neutered 2025)

Full Pedigree Registered

Registration: #SBT092824020

Pedigree name: Floozy Blue

Date of birth: 26th September, 2024

Eye colour: Aqua

Skin colour: Blue

HCM screened: parents both screened.

DNA tested: parents both negative

Floozy Blue was purchased to bring on to become a queen at the Cattery arriving just before Christmas in 2024. Unfortunately as she matured into her adult self and began to call there were horrendous behavioural problems which needed urgent attention. Upon investigation it turned out that her ovaries were covered in cysts. Luckily her kidneys (also investigated at the time) were not affected and so spaying her was all that was needed to resolve her issues. As it was in her best interests it was easy to make the decision even though sadly it meant my plan was for her to become a breeding queen

Noodle. Oh how I miss this diva girl of mine. She was never even meant to be mine. She would not even have been called Noodle and yet she became mine and she did so much to positively change my world. See Finding Noodle 

WHY ONLY GIRLS? 

As a pet only, a neutered male would be welcome though my original decision to seek out a girl Sphynx was due to the fact I have disability and as girls are a lot smaller and therefore lighter, my thought process was only in the potential pain or discomfort I might undergo by frequently picking up OR becoming a pounced upon perch-come-taxi to a larger and heavier male. Then, when breeding g came into my life, as well as the size issue, I did not wish to have a pet cat who then needed to be segregated in order to prevent unwanted pregnancies or bothering and stressing the girls for frequent matings to satisfy his drive. That boy (living contained and mostly alone) would not be a kind of a life would he have shut away like that? Not a happy one surely? 

Then of course there’s also the possibility of him spray marking. I note here for fairness that not all males spray mark - but more do than don’t. I additionally note that some girls will also spray mark. These are all very normal and natural behaviours whose purposes are to advertise their presence and availability to mate as well as to declare a territory. But my cats are pets first and foremost and they live with me as family in my home and while I’m very willing to accommodate a lot of things for my beloved pets, I do not want to subject my home to this. 

It is then for these reasons that I do not keep an in-house entire male because he would not be able to live his life as a pet who could be fully integrated into home life. To do so would of course run the risk of repeated unwanted pregnancies which would result in too many and too frequently occurring kittens. Females breeding too frequently would have their bodies become depleted as the kittens draw from her reserves. No amount of great feeding would prevent this. She, and her developing embryos would suffer . If kittens were resulting, rearing them would further deplete the reserves in trying to produce enough milk. She may not be able to. The milk may not be enough for growing kittens demands. It may lack essential nutrients. 

The health and wellbeing of my queens (and their kittens), is top priority. My choice in breeding only high quality kittens is to use the services of carefully chosen stud males belonging to another Cattery.  For further information about the males we visit please view Sire(s) .
