I have needed to put my cattery on hold for awhile. It has been a very difficult year for me. I moved both sets of parents into assisted living and then my father passed away from Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s on October 3, 2023. I have so much more to do now to take care of all the paperwork a death entails. My mother and I are heartbroken but doing okay. I am so blessed to have been with Dad when he passed and to have my mother living nearby. It was a big move for them from Texas to South Dakota last February. And today my in-laws are doing good at age 93! Once we got the move done, having them in assisted living as of August has helped my stress level and schedule immensely. I am in that season of taking care of beloved parents. I have had to quit theatre, my other passion besides cats as well, and my house is a mess of boxes to sort through. But taking care of the people who took care of us for so long is an honor and a blessing. I didn’t know my father-in-law was so funny! I cherish the time I have with them and wish I hadn’t been so busy in the last months I had with my dad. His disease took him so fast.
I miss having kittens and my wonderful clients to work with. They bring me joy. I hope I can get back to work on that as soon as possible. (And so do my horny cats!) However, I need to be careful not to add too much more to my life right now. The last thing I want is to get more stressed and not be able to do right by my kittens and clients. I will post here when I am able to start up again. Btw, I took down most of my photos because of scammers stealing photos. I’m sad about my website not looking as good as it used to. I hope to fix that when I have more time.
I do have some special case adults that need a loving home. I am looking for some fellow cat whisperers. Please email me if you are interested and tell me about yourself. Updated November 1, 2023

Lady MacBeth is a gorgeous seal-point Balinese. She is 4.5 years old. She is shy and needs love and patience. She will do best in a quiet home with no other cats. She likes to sit in my lap and feel protected while I pet her.
Lady is a seal-point Balinese female.

Scammer alert: I continue to speak with people on a regular basis who have been scammed. It just breaks my heart. I know getting a kitten is partly an emotional decision and that is understandable. But please do your research. The scammers are clever. Please trust your gut if something seems off about your interaction with the breeder. There are many scam websites I know of who say they have kittens available, but they are just stealing photos from other breeder's websites. They have stolen mine. People are losing so much money and not getting a kitten. We can report them, but they just close one website and put up another one that looks exactly the same. And they are getting more clever with videos, phone numbers, and addresses where you can supposedly pick up the kitten.
Please do your homework when choosing a reputable breeder. Good breeders have waitlists because we are not kitty mills. A healthy, beautiful kitten is worth the wait. Nature and nurturing takes time. Call me if you need more information about who to trust. And please report any scams to the FTC. It is our only hope of getting any help stopping these criminals.

Gambades Cattery and all my cats except Aria are registered with the Cat Fanciers Association or TICA. Aria is registered with ACA. My price includes the first two rounds of vaccinations, two exams by a licensed veterinarian, CFA registration, and a healthy, sound kitten. I do require a purchase agreement that states the kitten will live indoors never be declawed. I am available for questions concerning your kitten's behavior and health. The buyer also agrees to neuter or spay the kitten when their vet deems it can be done safely, usually around six-months old. My cats and kittens are fed premium canned and dry food. My cats are periodically tested for the usual viruses and well cared for by excellent veterinarians on a yearly schedule. I do not vaccinate my cats for FIP, however they have been tested for the corona virus. I also have a closed cattery to keep my cats isolated from other cats who might bring a virus in.
