Pegkens Scottish Folds
Welcome to our home. We are a small cattery...
..in the Sierra Foothills of northern California. We are located one hour NE of the Sacramento airport. Our kitties are our pets, they sleep on the bed with us, trip us in the kitchen when we are making dinner, play on our computer keyboards and entertain us when we are watching television. I still haven't been successful at preventing them from spreading my knitting yarn all over the living room in the middle of the night. They have interesting color choices that have inspired many new scarves.
We have been breeding cats since 1985. After dabbling in several other breeds we have renewed our passion for Scottish Folds. You can email us at peggy@pegkens.net. Our goal is to provide people with pets with superior temperaments and excellent health. The outcross we have chosen is with British Shorthairs. We love the plush coats and the round look of the Brits. The colors we have chosen are the silvers and tabby pattern as you can see in Snook and Tansi. ...
Peggy is a small animal veterinarian who practices holistic veterinary medicine specializing in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, including acupuncture and Chinese herbals.
We screen for HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and PKD (polycystic kidney disease). We never breed two cats with folded ears together. When that happens the kittens will develop crippling arthritis. We provide a 3 year replacement guarantee against fatal genetic diseases. Every cattery has it's share of mild kitten maladies so we keep our kittens until they are 12 weeks old to allow our kitties' immune systems to mature prior to the stress of leaving their cat family to join their human families. For more information about proper age for adoption please go this site: www.breedlist.com/faq/young.html.
We are also committed to socializing our kittens to people so they are loving and gentle. Our 11 year old daughter and her friends participate in this socialization so our kittens are used to kids. We have recently added a toy poodle and a Chihuahua to our family. They race around with the cats and do their job socializing the kittens to dogs.
Our foldies start at $1200 and our straight ears start at $800. The Scottish Straights have the same quirky personality and luscious coats as the foldies and are often more available than their siblings who just happened to inherit the unusual ears.
We are so concerned about the emotional welfare of our babies that we are unwilling to ship them in the cargo hold of a plane. We have many new kitten owners drive or fly for miles to pick up their new babies so they don't have to fly unaccompanied. We were one of those owners when we brought our new boy, Snook, home from Texas. He did very well under the seat in front of us while we flew back.
We would love to know about your interests. To that end, we have set up a KITTEN APPLICATION for your convenience. Please visit that page on our site so we can answer your questions and/or comments. Thank You for visiting our website.
Sincerely, Peggy, Ken and Gabrielle Roberts
