About cattery

We have begun our breeding expirience on Svetlana Ponomareva guidance on cattery Alexander-Fred staff in 2001. After the termination felinological courses under the direction of Tatyana Bakalova I and my friend Nina Chaplygina have decided to register own cattery name. We have registered a cattery on name "Barrayar" in 2003 in WCF system. The permission to use of the name of "Barrayar" is given Lois MacMaster Budjold in ours on-line chat on 1st Russian Lois Bujold Fan Club Congress in April, 2003:))

Our cattery took active part in Kurilian Bobtails breed recognition in FIFe. Our tomcat - Admiral Matrosskin Barrayar represented breed on General Assambly FIFe in Amsterdam in 2003. In 2004 I have made the decision on registration of a name of cattery in FIFe. Also in 2008 the cattery is registered in TICA. On WCF system our cattery remains collective to this day.

All kittens with surname Barrayar*EST is registered in FIFe (EKL Felix, Estonia) on my name. Also this kittens is registered on my name in TICA as Barrayar. Other kittens with surname simply Barrayar - is registered on WCF and have diifferent breeders from our collective.

Cattery located in Moscow sity and Moscow region - Chernogolovka, near 60 km from Moscow. Our cats live with us, under the foot, and all our cats - our family members. We don't recognise the maintenance cats in cages! We work over type, instead of over color. The house at first build, and then - paint.
