I am a member of the Russian Blue Association (England) and was privileged to
serve on the Clubs committee for six years, leaving only due to the pressure
of work when my husband and I bought our boarding kennel and cattery in Kent.
During my time on the committee I held office for a while as Welfare co-ordinator
and served on the show committee for the very first all Blue Russian cat show in 1982
England - A very exciting time in the Clubs history.
My love of this beautiful, gentle, affectionate breed is as deep now as it was
when I first fell under their spell, so when my husband and I decided to come to Spain
to live and build a boarding kennel and cattery in September 1998 I brought eleven
of my Russian Blues with me to introduce the English Russian Blue to Spain. As I was
keen not to lose contact with my friends at cat shows I left the rest of my cats
in England under the care of a good friend of mine who was also very experienced with
cats, she bred under my guidance and I frequently went home to England to see them and
show my cats and kittens who still lived there. Happily all my cats are here with
me now and Spain is where I consider our home.
I am very dedicated to the Russian Blue breed and committed to breeding the
highest quality kittens possible but my foremost concern is that my kittens get
kind caring homes that will love and cherish them as I do, I therefore sell my
kittens as pets and for showing, but rarely for breeding. I often have beautiful
kittens available with excellent pedigrees from English Champion lines and I am
happy to export to good homes in other Countries once the kittens are vaccinated and
I feel they are mature enough not to worry about the flight, this is normally
around sixteen weeks. In my experience the calm easygoing nature of a Russian Blue
means they are not frightened when they travel and I am told by their new "mums"
that they arrive relaxed and happy.
However, because of the quarantine regulations of Great Britain, animals need to
have a "Pet Passport" to enter the Country. To obtain this, a kitten must have a
microchip, a rabies vaccination and a blood test one month later. So long as the
test result is good the kitten can leave for England six months from the day the
blood sample was taken. All this means that the kittens are ten months old before
they can travel to Great Britain.
I hope you enjoy looking at the photographs of some of my Russian Blues, both past
and present, unfortunately I only speak English, but look forward to hearing
from other people who have a genuine interest in this lovely breed, or those who
would like a Russian Blue kitten... to change their life forever!
