Apart from the fact that we are an official, registered, and legal cattery belonging to EKKR/FPL/FIFe (more about that on the page About us), our breeding work is based on continuous development and a mindful approach to knowledge about cats.
For us, felinology is not just a set of rules (very important ones!) – it is daily practice in which science meets care for animals.
That is why we regularly consult the latest research and veterinary articles, take part in webinars, and attend seminars and training courses (sometimes even specialist courses ending with exams). We are also frequent guests at cat shows, where we exchange knowledge with other breeders and talk with judges about the breed standard, while they can assess our cats.
This is exactly why we can build a cattery founded on integrity, knowledge, experience, and heart.
Below we present a list of all the courses, training sessions, and webinars we have taken part in. Then you will see more information about the major training programs run by feline organizations. And at the end, a list of experts who were speakers and with whom we had the opportunity to talk many times and learn from.
