Our Breeding Goals
We strive to produce healthy kittens that strongly represent the
breed. Small size, large eyes, extreme ticking to the coat,
well-placed leg markings, and an outstanding purrsonality are the
hallmarks for the breed.
Jeff and Heather are both Provisional
Allbreed judges in The International Cat Association (TICA) and adhere
to the strict Code of Ethics set forth in our association. We
genotype our cats for coat coloration (to make sure we perpetuate only
the acceptable color in the breed) and scan for HCM with a
board-certified cardiologist. All of our kittens and cats come with a
written health guarantee and are desexed before leaving for pet homes.
"Chaparral" is our TICA registered
cattery name. In CFA, this cattery name was already taken, so we
chose the name "Geomys." Geomys means "earth mouse" in Latin. When
Singapuras are born, they look like little earth-colored mice.
