About the Breed - Singapura:

With an angelic face, captivating big bold eyes and a gentle deceptively delicate appearance, they have the ability to bewitch everyone within their reach.

They have enchanting personalities, always wanting to please and entertain you. Soft sweet little voices that question you and answer you back. They are truly pesky people pleasers.

This breed enjoys nothing better than to spend time you and the family, overseeing your daily tasks and of course getting themselves into adorable mischief.

You will find that most Singapuras enjoy being perched on your shoulders, so that they can keep an eye on everything around them and of course to keep track of you. Known in Singapore as the “Cat Of Love” or Kuchinta.

They are also a very low maintenance breed. With a lovely sleek, close lying coat with minimal shedding which only requires your daily stroking, and a rub down with a chamois weekly to keep their coat looking just stunning.

The colour of a Singa, is called Sepia Agouti, and this is the only colour. It is described as sepia, (dark brown) ticking on an old ivory ground colour, their tummies are that of unbleached muslin. They have largish ears which have salmon hue about them, that move constantly, keeping them in tune with what is going on around them. Their little nose is outlined with nose liner, a very important factor which gives a Singapura that distinctive elf like expression, together with big bright green or amber eyes to give that wide eyed expression. They also have some inner front leg Barings and again this is also repeated on their back knees. 

                         

The Singapura loves children and mixes well with dogs and other cats. This breed seems to be non territorial and makes friends easily with the rest of the family. Often bringing out the best in another family pet.

They do not suit working families where they will be alone all day long, unless they have a companion, dog or another cat. They are very much human orientated and would fret if left all day long by themselves. The solution is to have two and twice as much loving and fun for all.

Because this is such a small breed, kittens are not desexed until between 14 & 15 weeks of age, at this stage they are still smaller than a Bengal or a Devon kitten at the 12 week mark.

So please do not think your kitten will be grown up when you collect her or him, it certainly is still such a small kitten.

 

We have been very blessed with the arrival of our first Stud boy, who came from America, and was bred by the late Tommy Meadow who was the Founder of this wonderful breed,.  He is a very special boy as he was one of the last that she bred before her untimely death, and thus he was named in her honour as  Usaf`s Captain Tom.

This breed adores and needs company, it would break their little heart to be shut up all day at home by themselves, so thusly l do not let any kittens go to homes where this is the case.

 

Cap as he is called has done extremely well on the Show Bench, achieving Gold Double Grand Champion in 12 months. All of his offspring have been very successful on the show bench with many Best of Breed awards. His temperament has been passed on to his children, proving to be just as mischievous and as loving as he is still today.
