Cats have always been in my life

Hello all!! I am Raymond from Hong Kong. Thank you very much for visiting my web page.

I graduated from HKU(The University of Hong Kong) with a Honour Bachelor degree in Biotechnology. From the study I enriched my knowledge in not only the animal physiology but also the latest manipulation technology in genetic. After graduation, a local publishing company hired me up, which is publishing the most popular specialized magazines in several fields. One of them is about pets. With this coincidence, the knowledge in cattery and kennel could be acquired and I think that it is very useful for me to becoming a breeder.

With the accumulation of experience of keeping cats, I and my wife, Rachel, decided to start a breeding program on cat. I have started to keep cats for over three year and learn much more intensively. Then I started to find my first breeding stock.  I concerned the standard in term of health. Therefore I tried to contact the foreign breeders. Fortunately I found a very nice cattery in Australia. Not only they could provide me a pair of good stock and also sufficient information about breeding. I am still keeping tight contact which allows me to seek for helping hands.

The prefix "Kiwidom" of our cattery was a combination of my two non-pedigree cats 'Kiwi' and 'Dom'. From this two cats I have learnt much about keep cats and found the extreme differences between pedigree and non-pedigree. Also they arouse me  the  importance of pedigree.

Our Ethic

We started our cat breeding plan after a serious consideration and hope to help more people to own their lovely pedigreed cats. We  never have any deal with pet shops. We bought our breeding cats from reliable breeders  directly by ourselves. For the breeding rights, we only transferred breeding cats to someone who was referred by reliable breeders in Hong Kong. They all are working carefully  for responsible breeding, not mill type.

We are willing to help people to start their lives with cats and eager to share my experience in keeping healthy cats. We have a message board which is useful for sharing and spread of news. We understand there is no perfect cat and even ever winning cat, we know we have much room to learn. We are open minded to ask overseas or local breeders and the vets for enhancement of our knowledge.

Thank you all for visiting my website.
