About Us

Welcome to our cattery! We are a small in-home cattery located in the Kanawha Valley in South Charleston, West Virginia. I saw my first Himalayan in a newspaper article in the Charleston Gazette-Mail Sunday paper in 1967. We visited a local cattery and bought our first Himalayan male kitten in a litter of eight. That cattery, El Macs, had the first Himalayans in West Virginia. We showed him to his double championship and bred him first to a Siamese female we had. That was the beginning of a wild love for the Himalayan breed. We are proud members of the Atlantic Himalayan Club and the Almost Heaven Cat Club here in West Virginia. We had our first show in 2006 in Charleston, WV.

Our lines include, but are not restricted to Heavens Paws, Sassipurrs, Rajobet, Kitty Charm, Co-Bridge, Banyan, Countrygal, and Belogorie.

My name is Donna Turner and my husband is Tom Turner. Tom , my husband, is a retired music and computer teacher. I have recently retired from teaching and now can devote all my time to my love of cats. We have been owned by cats all these years. We have one son, David, daughter-in-law, Jennifer, and granddaughter, Elizabeth.

We have a closed cattery with no outside stud service for health reasons. Our kittens are uncaged and underfoot. We give a bath at 6 weeks and handle them daily for socialization. Potential owners must agree to neuter/spay their pet kittens and after having this done , send a statement when altering is done. I will send the registration papers to the new owner. A deposit of $100.00 is required to hold a kitten. This deposit is non-refundable. The price for pet is $350.00, breeder quality is $500.00 and up. We breed for health, heavy coats, good eye color and great dispositions. All kittens are given first vaccinations and they are free from parasites. If you wish to inquire about a kitten, please go to the contacts page. The parents of my cats are tested PKD neg.
