Busy, busy, busy

Bracken's babies are growing up fast, they are nearly 2 weeks already. Almost all the kittens are now reserved, just 2 girls still needing a home.


Last saturday was Lowestoft show, which was a lovely but somewhat quiet show. The rats did me proud, with Caledonian Connor getting 4th in Supreme Challenge and Caledonian Orrin getting Best Siamese and Best Shaded and 2 stars. Caledonian Iona got Best Adult Owned Pet and 3rd in Pet Challenge and earnt herself another 2 pet points, she's now on 7 points, just one more to get and she'll be a pet champion.

While at Lowestoft I picked up a lovely ruby eyed Russian Blue Point Siamese doe from Halycon Stud, say hello to Halycon Yvaine.

Kittens :)

It's been a while since there were kittens here, but Caledonian Bracken gave birth on sunday to 13 little ones. Mum and babies are all doing well.

Due to most of my waiting list deciding to get kittens from elsewhere there's quite a few kittens available from this litter, if you are interested please email me (lois@caledonianrats.co.uk).

Photos of the kittens are here, if you want to follow their progress.

About Me

My name is Lois and I have a small rattery based in Southampton, Hampshire, UK. My aim is to breed good tempered, healthy rats in Russian Blue Point Siamese, Seal Point Siamese and Black for both pet and show. I am a member of the NFRS, and tend to show my rats at NFRS shows in the south and south west. I am also a NFRS Show Secretary and a member of the NFRS Committee with the roles of Hon. Treasurer and Website and Forum Administrator. Caledonian Rats is not an NFRS stud name, but simply a name I used to identify the rats I breed. However, 'Caledonian Rattery' is an NFRS registered rattery and I hope to gain my stud name in the future.
