Our Queens
CH Zefir's Veni Vidi Vici
 |  |  |
|---|
Vici (Pronounced Vee-Chee) is a CFA Champion seal point Birman female.
Vici was born August 10th, 2024.
She is our "spoiled only child", because she was the only kitten in her litter. Her Mother (Spark) and her Father (Tupla) love her just as much as we do. She tolerated attending 9 CFA shows, but she never liked it, so we stopped overwhelming her with them. She loves to travel, be brushed, and cute whiney meow at us for treats whenever we get near the kitchen.

Spark is a CFA Champion seal point Birman female. As a youngster, she was the second best Birman kitten in CFA Region 6 (The Midwest) for the 2021-2022 show season. As an adult, she was the second best seal point Birman in CFA Region 6 (The Midwest) for the 2021-2022 show season.
Spark is my velcro kitty, who is always right near me. She is built like a tank, so she's extremely satisfying to hug. She even wraps her paw around my shoulder and "hugs" me back.
Spark was born March 1st, 2021. She will have one more litter before she retires, but she is my baby and will never leave our house!

About Us
Our names are Brady and Ilya; we are married and we live in Sebring, FL. We both work in tech full time and have a very small cattery as our hobby. We work from home and our cats typically sleep nearby during the work day. We mostly work Monday through Friday, so we are able to travel to cat shows on the weekends.
We have been showing cats since the beginning of 2020 and our first litter was born in the summer of 2022. We have had a lot of help from various people who have been breeding and showing cats for much longer than we have, but our main mentors are Jon and JoAnn of Luv'nmittens cattery in Wisconsin and we can't thank them enough for all of their help and advice!
We health test all of our Queens and Studs and we offer a health guarantee on our kittens. Kittens from our cattery are guaranteed to be free of Feline Leukemia (Fel V) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). We also DNA health test the Queens and Studs in our cattery.
Our cattery breeds for good temperament just as much as we do for beautiful form. To us, this means a laid back cat that enjoys to spend time playing and cuddling with us rather than off hiding somewhere. Our kittens have the run of our house as soon as they are litterbox trained, which is usually shortly after they can walk steadily. We make sure they are used to being held/handled, riding in the car, being combed, and having their nails clipped. While I am realistic and therefore can't guarantee that every kitten will ENJOY every one of those things, I can promise that they will be used to them. Our kittens are very well socialized and so far have been exceedingly outgoing and "go with the flow".
