All About Elanesse CatsHow Elanesse Cats Started. Hello, my name is Jenny Dunstall. I am a hobby breeder of Ragdoll Cats. My cats live with us at home in North Warwickshire. We are animal lovers who are proud of our compliment of dearly loved pets who are very much an important part of the family. Not all of our cats are Ragdolls. We have two domestic cats. Zelda is 15, a black and white shorthair and descended from a cat I owned many years ago called Toto. We had her half brother Munchkin (15) and her daughter Baggins (13) with us for many years, but their sad loss in 2005 led in a roundabout way to us owning our first Ragdoll queen. We also lost a faithful companion of a cross-breed dog called Kirsty in 2005, she was also 15. This gap in our household had to be filled and in due course we acquired two kittens, a brother and sister we called Merry and Pippin. However, Merry was one of those cats who are always up to mischief and inquisitive, and as a young adult, was run over outside the house. This led to us looking for a companion to Pippin, a tabby and white semi-longhair now nine months old, who was missing his sister. We answered an advertisement in a local paper for an American Ragdoll cat who needed re-homing as her owners were expecting another baby and had too many cats, and this is how Yremer Coral (Corry) came to our house. Corry settled down really well and she and Pippin have become firm friends as we were hoping. In fact we all fell in love with her as her friendly nature and loveable character was obvious form the start. She soon began to follow me everywhere and meet us at the door when we come home. Corry is a breeding queen on the GCCF active register and so I set about the task of registering a prefix in order to mate her and acquire more of these wonderful cats. |
