Pet Therapy
About our Cats:
Delighting in the company of humans, our cats bring happiness. Their tranquil nature is palpable, echoed in the comforting sound of their reassuring purrs.
At the moment, we are taking them about in a stroller, visiting people, public spaces and site visits, as part of their training. The site visit sessions are anything from 30 minutes to 45 minutes,
If you are a library, nursery, nursing home or any facility which would like to have a site visit, please get in touch.
We train a selection of our kittens to qualify in becoming a Pet Therapy Cat or become an emotional support animal. Once our kittens have passed their assessment, we can offer 1:1 site visits, cuddle sessions and Animal Assisted Therapy/Interventions (AAT & AAI). Please be mindful of anyone with animal allergies.
All our cats are bred by us, we are licensed, and reputable breeder awarded with The Outstanding Cattery Certificate. We have worked across generations, selectively choosing kittens that could work with the public, meeting the high standards required to qualify as a Therapy Cat or an emotional support animal.
A selection of our kittens for sale have been trained up to level 5, working towards becoming a Pet Therapy Cat. The level they have attained will be marked on their profile page below. More information about our Therapy program is found after the cat profiles.

Cat Therapy in the Community
More and more, therapy animals are becoming wonderful companions for both adults and children facing various emotional and psychological challenges. Whether dealing with depression, recovering from trauma, or managing anxiety, these furry friends are making a positive impact. Having an animal join therapy sessions adds a delightful and productive element, contributing to improved therapeutic results. Clients often feel a sense of calm, a boost in mood, enhanced self-esteem, reduced stress, and increased motivation when in the company of these therapeutic animals.
Sensory Activity
Our cat-focused Sensory Activity is simply crafted to offer a sensory-rich experience, aiding individuals with learning difficulties, developmental disabilities, or sensory impairments in developing their interaction skills with the world. Through the profound connections forged with therapy animals, we've observed a significant boost in confidence and enhanced ability to connect with their surroundings.
Our Cat Therapy Program
We have been researching on the health and well-being of certain breeds and have identified a breed trait, to facilitate working with cats as Therapy Pets. This included submitting a New Experimental Breed Application with TICA in 2023, however, because they required the breed to be distinguishable by appearance rather than evaluating the cats nature, the application was withdrawn.
Sales
As we progress with our Cats for Therapy program we are able to offer for sale our retired breeding queens, studs and adolescent kittens from the programme.
Kittens and cats listed on this page have been part of the cat therapy breed programme, some may not come with a club certified registration documentation. Where kittens are under 12 months old they will also benefit from 4 weeks free insurance with Petplan. All pets are released vaccinated with a vet check and adults are sterilised and also vaccinated.
