Kerrilee Cattery - Scottish Fold Breeder

KERRILEE CATTERY - SCOTTISH FOLD BREEDER

Welcome to Kerrilee Cattery - Breeder of Canadian and American Champion registered Scottish Folds. We are located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, almost beside the Toronto Pearson International Airport. Our Available Scottish Fold Kittens can be shipped worldwide.

As an English Springer Spaniel breeder, Gail Gagnon established Kerrilee in 1980 - and obtained quite an enviable record: "Kyber", Cdn & Am Ch Kerrilee's Maritime Edition, CD went on to to win 10 Bests in Shows, Top Sporting Dog in Canada in 1989, and now his grandson, Am Cdn Australian Ch Willkommen Latest Edition, in 2004 won 43 Bests, breaking the Australian record of 36 and Canadian record of 42.

In the early 1990s, Kerrilee decided to extend our breeding success to cats, and began with Persians. However, Kerrilee wanted a breed with a "puppy personality" and, without a doubt, the Scottish Fold fit that profile.

Kerrilee does NOT cage our cats or kittens, except when our queens are in heat, or with their newborns. For the past several years, we have been showing our cats in both CCA (Canadian Association) and CFA, so kitten registrations reflect both organizations. We try to attend a couple of shows per month, and if we can't make it, have friends that will agent our cats. If you would like to meet at
a show, and wish to inquire as to our schedule, please Phone (905) 672-7885 or Email Us.

SCOTTISH FOLD FACTS

Is there something wrong with the cat's ears?

No. They are not, as some people think, "broken". The ear shape of the Scottish Fold is caused by an autosomal dominant gene. This gene is not "carried".

In mating, it requires only one parent with folded ears to produce true fold offspring. When a straight eared cat is bred to one with folded ears, you can get kittens with either ear shape. The ones whose ears are straight will never produce kittens with folded ears unless bred to a folded ear cat.

Do you breed a cat with folded ears to another one, to make sure all the ears are folded?

While this would produce kittens with folded ears, the gene that causes the distinctive ear positioning may also cause osteo problems with the kittens' skeletal structure. By the Cat Fancier's Association standard for breeding, a FE (folded ear) cat may be mated to a British Shorthair, American Shorthair, or a SE (straight ear) Fold. The first two enable the breed to widen their gene pool while retaining the basic body features of the breed. The latter allows breeders to use established Scottish Fold bloodlines.

Today, the supply for the Scottish Fold cannot keep up with the demand. Most breeders have a waiting list for their kittens, so once the decision has been made to buy a
Kerrilee Fold (whether it be a straight ear or a fold ear), A non-refundable deposit is required to hold a kitten/cat. A deposit may be transferred to another kitten/cat in some instances where we have been unable to supply you with a kitten that meets the requirements you specified within a reasonable amount of time, to be determined by the breeder. To protect both you and the breeder, a sales agreement is signed between the two. Buying a kitten is a long term commitment, and we at Kerrilee expect to be kept abreast of the kitten's development with updated pictures. Also, if you have any concerns, Kerrilee is available to address them by Phone (905) 672-7885 or Email.
