Altaris Cattery

October 27th was National Black Cat Day, but every day is black cat day in my house!

The Favorite. My Asher, GC Altaris Beautiful Dark, when he was young and being shown, now my oldest and still my baby.

Altaris Inferno Everlasting is a black Persian spay owned by Mandie Fick.

Now that the CFA 2024 - 2025 has come to a close, I am very proud to share the accomplishments that I had no idea I would be sharing when the season started.

GP, RW Altaris Inferno Everlasting
Duchess: what started as let's just grand her and get her started towards a GPD ended the season with Duchess being GSR's Fourth Best Cat in Premiership!

GC, RW TakeTheMoon Sriracha of Altaris
Saoirse: I cannot thank Camille of Take the Moon enough for my first tortie! I love this girl to pieces and she was so much fun to show. I always loved torties, and I'm so proud of mine. Saoirse ended the season as GSR's 16th Best Cat in Championship and GSR's Best Particolor Persian! I'm so excited for the next phase of my red era!

GC, RW Altaris Jester King
Jester: A regional kitten winner last season, I didn't get him granded before season end. Then the stinker dropped his coat! It took until December for me to think he looked okay enough to try for those last 40 points, which he got at the Show Me CF Christmas show...and I promptly shaved him when it was official!

GC Altaris Lingering Shadows
Evvie: my surprise 8 month old new grand! The youngest I've ever had a cat of my own breeding grand, and I wasn't even the first to figure it out.🤣

This has been a season for personal accomplishments too! I clerked solo for the first and second time, and have a new appreciation for that job.
