About Us
Winter Garden is a small family cattery located in Montreal, Canada. We are registered in many different associations, however, we are most active in TICA.
At Winter Garden Cattery, we focus on Abyssinians and Somalis. We strive to produce affectionate, healthy and agile cats that will make excellent family companions. We always look forward to our upcoming litters with excitement. Each breeding is planned in advance. We look for qualities in our breeding cats that complement each other and will produce beautiful kittens with sound genetics and everything we are looking for in the next generations of our breeding programs. We highly value the importance of socialization and interaction with mom and littermates, all of our kittens are born and raised in our home. They are ready to leave at around 16 weeks old, however some have to stay a bit longer to gain confidence. Kittens also experience many new things before leaving our cattery: they get used to different kinds of food (high quality kibble, canned, freeze-dried and raw), different sounds and textures, go on car rides, as well as learn how to interact with other cats, dogs, and humans. Every family gets a kitten kit and life time support as they become a part of our family. All our breeding cats are tested for FeLV/FIV, PKD, PK Def., PRA, and DNA screened for over 50 genetic diseases. PCRs are regularly done to ensure that we are free of viruses, bacteria and parasites. Bloodwork as well as echos are done at our vet. Our cats are titled champions – supreme grand champions, as well as regional and international winners. Our cattery offers a variety of coat colours: ruddy, blue, sorrel, fawn, as well as silvers.
