Guest studs
These are our "guest studs". These males were born in our cattery and sold to loving homes, with the agreement that they would be made available for a number of matings. These males are first and foremost pets, and are fully part of family life. If their behaviour and hormones allow it, they may become a father on the occasional basis, provided their health tests are in order as well. Guest studs are used for breeding less often than a purchased stud, and are often only "entire" for a short time. Because valuable genes are lost with every generation, we use guest studs to try to preserve these valuable genes for the future. This way, the line is spread more evenly across several littermates, instead of placing that task on just one kitten from the litter. This benefits genetic diversity. It also occasionally allows us to help other breeders to a beautiful, healthy line, increasing the chance that these genes are safeguarded for the future, where they will be badly needed.
If you're interested in keeping one of our kittens as a future guest stud, please feel free to get in touch.

Boots (Sjakie)
Born June 23, 2025
Boots lives with Edwin and Talisa in The Hague. He was born with us from the Storybooks litter, Umayma's only litter. His father is Finn of Cattery Xabrendo. We are grateful to them that Boots may be used for a few dates.
Boots is an easygoing, uncomplicated tomcat with a stable, confident, and social character. He happily joins on holidays and on daily walks with the dog.
He is cream with white and polydactyl on all four paws (4WD, Canadian mutation). He carries 1 copy of white spotting. Boots is a substantial tomcat with a broad head, good boning, a good muzzle, a lovely open expression, a broad chin, and a beautifully sloping profile. His ears are his biggest area for improvement. He has correct leg placement and very beautiful poly paws.
Test results:
HD: grade 1 on both sides
PL: normal in both knees
Heart ultrasound: scheduled for December 1
DNA (Wisdom Panel): HCM1, SMA, Pk-def, blood group N/N. Carrier of Factor XII deficiency.
Genetic diversity 37%.
Boots has a low total inbreeding coefficient of 7.07%. His clone percentage is 21.5% and top 5 is 56.2%.
Nus
Born November 24, 2023
Nus lives with Maarten and Sam in Utrecht, together with his brother Beer (Siberis of Macadamia). He was born with us from the Galatian Rivers litter, the last litter of Indy. His father is our Frenchman Songaa.
Nus is a social, sweet boy with a balanced character. He is very tolerant. He is not the lap cat like his family members, but he asks for a lot of cuddles and does have the family trait of washing humans hair.
He is a black tabby white tomcat with blotched pattern. He carries solid and possibly also carries dilution. He has 1 copy of whitespotting. Nus is not much bigger than his father. He has a nice eye shape and ear position, and a good profile.
Nus was actually not intended as a stud, but his staff is so kind to make Nus available for a few matings for a short time period. We are very grateful to Maarten and Sam for this opportunity and hope that he can continue his beautiful qualities.
Fortunately, Nus passed all tests. He has normal hips and knees (HD N/N and PL N/N). His heart echo is normal. He is N/N for HCM1, SMA and Pk-def via his parents. He may be a carrier of blood group b.
Nus has a low total inbreeding coefficient of 4.07%. He is an outcross male with a clones percentage of 19.7% and top 5 of 44.9%.
Yser
Born January 3rd, 2022
Yser lives with Caroline in Rotterdam, together with his buddy (neutered male cat). He was born with us from the French river litter, which was also Neroli's last litter. He is the brother of our Yonne. We are grateful to Caroline but also to Yannick that we can use Yser for a date every now and then.
Yser is a softie and a real gentleman, he has to get used to new people and new surroundings. With his owner he is a huge clingy cat. He has no problems with his hormones at all so far, which makes him the ideal stud.
Yser is a black smoke male cat. He has 1 copy of silver, is solid, carries dilution and has no white. He is well built, with above average size for an outcross. He has beautiful green eyes, and the beautiful silver (smoke) of his mother.
Yser has HD grade 1/1 and PL N/N. His heart and kidney echo are both normal. He is pk-def carrier, and N/N for HCM1, SMA and blood group.
Yser has a low total inbreeding coefficient of 5.56%. He is an outcross male with a clones percentage of 20.6% and top 5 of 48.9%.
