Short intro:
Since 15 years, our cattery is growing in the
northwestern suburbs of Hamburg. We are owned by approximately 20
forestcats now. One of the most important issues for us is the health
of our gang - more important than any big show results. Significant are
two items: most of our „foundation cats“ are still alive,
living with us and are fit - and we proudly can present 7 generations
in a row - all still in our house with only one exception. a genealogy
you rarely see in another cattery.
Since the early 90ies our Wunderbaum cattery is dedicated
to the conservation of those beautiful Norwegian Forestcats – in
short NFO (in Europe) or NFC (in the USA). In the „magic
forest“ of our „mystery trees“ (that’s what our
cattery name means in translation) we since then raise carefully about
2-3 litters a year (10 babys in average) to keep enough time to care
for the kittens and also for the search for their new homes. And as our
breeding crew is not a kitten mill but part of our family, also the
seniors stay with us after they have retired.
Nevertheless we also look for show success, and
also the very few cats that went to other breeders were absolute stars
on shows.
Although living in the north of Germany (close to
Hamburg) we joined a danish breeding club (JYRAK –> adherent
to the international FIFé) for its significant better care for
cat health purposes and more of course. More infos you may see on our german homepage (that is
quite updated only up to 2004 - the actual developments are for the
moment only documented here).
