| We are British shorthair
breeders located in Luxembourg! |
The name *vum
Rousegaard* cattery
is registered
since 1999 with the FIFé
|
|
I first of all wish to thank my family
for their full support in breeding, shows, and everyday life among cats…
My husband Thomas in particular has always
been my best supporter. Without his support, both psychological and financial,
I would never have been able to go ahead on the road to success in the
breeding world!
|
|
|
In our breeding program,
we are focusing on the *silver Shaded* colour that I breed since
2000.
In May 1999, our first
silver dam, Pauline (born on March 05,
1999) came from Belgium and joined our family... and on April 27, 2000
she gave birth to our first vum Rousegaard brood!
|
In our work with the
Silver
Shaded colour we aim at preserving the Silver!
This means that as
far as possible we only marry Silver Shaded dames and sires together!
In some of the lines
some *Golden* is present, but we hope for silver kittens! |

It took me time to
discover and appreciate the Golden colour, ;)!
7 seven years, actually... but at least, in June 2007, finally, we
welcomed home our first little lady, *Varaiya* ;)
However, also in the
golden colour, I set myself a target and only time and patience will help
me to accomplish it :)
Anyway, if everything
goes smooth and according to planning,
The first *Golden*
kittens will be born some time in the Summer 2008 in Luxembourg!
However I still have
a long way to go. In any case, I am already grateful to the 3 breeders
who entrusted my adorable *Goldens* to me ;) |

My main objective:
People who will
buy one of my kittens will be given a healthy and properly socialized animal.
We find it highly important that our cats get all what they need, not only
the parents but also and above all the kittens, during the first 12 weeks
of their life that they spend with us!
Our second scope
is to carefully select the cats we breed in order to keep the welfare of
the British breed and as close as possible to international standards!!
|
All our cats are
born from PKD DNA negative parents and undergo ultrasounds tests to detect
HCM! Parents are also tested FelV/FIV !
All our cats and
kittens are given all their requested shots (primo-vaccination and boosters)
and are regularly wormed, including, for the kittens, on the day of their
departure to their new family! And last but not least, all our animals
are chipped! |
|
|
 |
My whole family loves
animals! Our cats are full family members and live with us, sharing the
whole house! The kittens are born in our bedroom and there, they spend
the first 6 weeks of their lives, well, more or less, as it also depends
on the mother cat. After that, they go to the conquest of the whole house
and all its inhabitants, dogs included. It can sometimes be very funny.
All our animals have
complete socialization skills and live together with our children (11 and
13) who treat them with respect and love!! |

I love to take part
in cat shows to submit my cats to international
judges! Titles are by no means necessary, but all our cats are used to
shows since they are babies and I never had any problem in hotels when
I am attending a show. I am sincerely finding I can be proud of them. Over
the years, they won many times the *Best Variety*, *Nominations*
and *Best in Show*! However, it is neither important nor necessary, but
I may be proud of my cats, may I not?
Of course, I love
all my cats with the same love, with or without titles, whether best or
not, but I find it right to take them to shows from time to time :) |
|
|
|
I ask the same price
for each of my kittens… I make no difference whether the cat is acquired
for cat shows, breeding stock or as companion pet!!
I always prefer to
sell my cats for company, but this does not mean that I never sell cats
for breeding. However, the purchaser must share my ideas on type and colour! |
| |
|
Our
kittens will leave us for their new home when they are 12-week old minimum,
fully vaccinated, wormed and chipped,
|
with
a  FiFé
pedigree
|
Important!
|
The kitten remains
our full property until the day he leaves the house for his new family.
The purchaser is free
to cancel the reservation up to the very last minute…
But this is also my
right!
These kittens I breed
with commitment and pride, these kittens that grow in our house surrounded
by love and wrapped in cuddles,
these kittens, believe
me, I do not sell them to just anyone...
