Ocigatos is located in Northern California. Our goal is to improve, promote, and sustain the Ocicat for posterity. Careful planning and extensive knowledge of the breed lines are required. We breed on a very limited basis to the standards established by the Cat Fanciers Association, Inc. Occasionally we make adults and kittens available to approved homes. Contact us for current information. We work with other established Ocicat breeders who are known to us and do export out of the country on occasion.
Our Ocicat involvement is a HOBBY! This means we dont breed for profit and are not a pet store. Breeding on this basis is very expensive and labor intensive. Usually there is a bit of a wait if you want an Ocigatos kitten. Our cats are our PETS as well as show or breeding cats. We produce very few kittens per year. The average size of an Ocicat litter is four kittens just to put things into perspective. We dont have kittens available continuously but we believe our quality is exceptional as evidenced by our success in the show rings.
Those few cats or kittens who are not destined for breeding or show are made available to pet homes. We take care to ensure our placements are the right fit for both the cat and the owner. Our cats are spayed and neutered before they leave our home to begin life as a treasured pet. Our commitment to them as well as to pet overpopulation is taken very seriously. We believe there is value and a place for both pedigreed and non-pedigreed cats in this world.
Known for their sweet dispositions, our Ocicats have enjoyed great success in the show ring earning National, Regional, and Agility wins in the Cat Fanciers Association. Ocicats are loving and intelligent lifetime companions who bond closely with their humans.
The Ocicat is a rare breed that can be a challenge to obtain. If you email us, we may be able to help you locate a cat or kitten among our contacts. Often we are exhibiting our cats on the weekends but will reply as rapidly as possible. Sometimes getting on a waiting list might be your only option for an Ocicat but they are truly worth the wait!
