Percy

Encore Cats Percy of Rachanside
Natural Mink Silver McTabby & White
Featured on the front cover of American 'Cat Fancy' magazine.
Grand Champion and finished as 8th best kitten/18th best cat USA 2007/08
Percy is a calm, loving boy with humans and his lady friends.

Doris

Encore Cats Doris of Rachanside
Blue Mink & White with fantastic Aqua Eyes
Very loving and sweet character. 'Dippy' would be a good description. Doris is getting the hang of things now and has had a second litter of five beautiful babies. It was a secret liason with Frank that sparked it!

Enid

Encore Cats Enid of Rachanside
Blue Mink Tortoiseshell Smoke
Now that I live with her, I know for sure that she is a real character. She feels compelled to help with litter tray cleaning and she wants to mother everybody else's kittens.  She is an eternal kitten herself and nobody enjoys cat toys more more than Enid does.

Madge

Encore Cats Madge of Rachanside
Tortoiseshell and White
A beautiful Calico cat. Quite an unusual girl. Very enthusiastic about life and has proved to be a wonderfully attentive mother. Madge is just embarking upon her retirement. She gave us three fantastic litters but it would not be good for her to keep having babies at the rate she wants to. She is to have a bit of R & R and then will be heading off to live with a long term admirer in England.

Trixie

Encore Cats Trixie of Rachanside
Tortoiseshell
Enid’s sister.  Just so sweet and trusting. She has raised a  bonnie bunch of babies. They were so stunning that two of her girls have had to stay as future queens. It's hard to take a good enough photo of Trixie for this page. Still working on it.

Violet

Encore cats Violet of Rachanside
Blue Lynx Point
I ‘rescued’ Violet’s breeder from keeping her herself! Violet toured the show circuit while she waited out her Pet Passport requirements and made Grand Champion before she came to the UK at the end of September 2008.  She bade a sweet farewell to Artus before she left America and as a result gave birth to 2 beautiful daughters on 29th November 2008.

Walter

Encore Cats Walter of Rachanside
Natural Mink and White
Another fabulous boy to produce equally handsome kittens in the future. It was hard to leave him behind when I visited at Easter but he's here now.  Very friendly and chatty. And BIG.

Blanche

Encore Cats Blanche of  Rachanside
Blue-Eyed white
I had not planned to import any more RagaMuffins but Janet Klarmann called me and told me about a wonderful blue-eyed pure white girl she had with a personailty to die for. I visited at Easter and it was a true story. Blanche got together with Walter and gave us five beautiful, sweet natured kittens this year.

Frank  (Ol' Blue Eyes)

Encore Cats Frank of Rachanside
Cream and White Tabby with Blue Eyes (That's unusual)
Well, after Blanche I had not intended to import any more RagaMuffins even though they are so addictive! But who could resist Frank? He is a son of Rhett (see Gallery) and unrelated to any of my RagaMuffins so far. Those new genes and and his wonderful eyes are going to make him a very valuable addition to the gang. He is here now. His blue eyes are stunning and his rabbity coat is really luxurious. Let's hope he passes them on to his offspring.

Treacle Tash

Rachanside Treacle Tash
Tash (which stands for Natasha, so all her offspring will have names beginning with 'N') is a Sable Silver Patched McTabby & White.  She is one of Trixie's daughters who was just so wonderful that she had to stay as a future breeding queen. She is a big, content girl who hangs out with Norman and some of the girls.

Thelma Louise

Rachanside Thelma Louise
Thelma has the most wonderful russet undercoat beneath her Brown Tabby and White pattern. She is the second daughter of Trixie who just had to stay. She is the Queen of relaxation and has a dainty little purr. Thelma Louise had five gorgeous babies in July 2009.

Valrico Flo

Rachanside Valrico Flo
Valrico is one of Violet's daughters. She is bigger than her Mum at only 7 months old and she has the most luxurious rabbity fur coat which she wears in Blue and White. She is quite a character and very insistent upon being your friend whether you like it or not!

Miss Alice

Rachanside Miss Alice
Miss Alice is the latest permanent addition to the cattery. In time she will replace her mum, Madge, as our Calico Queen. Now that her brothers have left she mixes in with everyone and is ridiculously friendly.
