One of the smartest and most dog-like of cats, the loyal TA will become a loving and ever-present part of your home and family. They are an easy-care longhair - you read that right - with no undercoat, there is very little shedding - in some cases, less than a shorthair. As TA owners will tell you, once you've been owned by one, you'll never be satisfied with any other cat!!

GC, BW, NW Sinend's Dance Anyway of Sadakat (a.k.a. Leo)
Lola's first son, pictured at 4 months
Leo is the first Turkish Angora kitten in CFA to acheive a National Win!
Leo is the first Turkish Angora to ever break into the top 5 at CFA's International Cat Show!
In a field of over 270 of the best kittens in the world, Leo was 3rd best Longhair and 4th highest scoring overall!
For two weekends in a row, Leo set the TA kitten scoring record, with over 500 points at the International and again at the Chicago Shorthair show the following week, where he was Best in Show!
Leo is a Grand Champion, finishing in one show and one ring!
Our grateful thanks to Leo's loving co-owners, Matthew and DeLinda Pearson, without whose support and guidance this simply would not have been possible; and to our dear friend Mary Newmarch, who was there at every turn with help and support!

Sinend is registered exclusively with the Cat Fanciers' Association, CFA. There are many registries out there for pets, some legitimate, some not. Some will offer you "papers" that aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Make sure your cats come registered by a registry that regularly puts on shows, to ensure the breed standard is upheld, that their parents, grandparents, etc. are also registered to prove they are the breed the seller claims. People are able to register ANY cat, for a small fee, and call it whatever breed they want, with some on-paper only registries. Make sure you are getting what you pay for - check to see what registry your pet is registered with.

It's cold outside...does your pet have adequate non-frozen water and access to heated shelter? Are they protected from the winter predators who will come closer to housing developments as winter comes on? Please think about letting them indoors with the rest of their family members!

Sound too good to be true? It often is. Don't be fooled by "hypoallergenic" cat claims - EVERY cat breed can cause allergic reactions. No matter the price tag, check out any breeder thoroughly if they claim to have something no one else does - for example, Allerca's "allergy free" kittens.
