"Excellence in Siamese... a breed above the
rest"
Welcome

Sanmaurs Siamese, a CFA registered cattery since 1980 and TICA registered since 1983.
We breed Siamese to the "show" standards in all four classic colors. We are a small cattery in Michigan,
USA. Please enjoy your visit and photos of our cats of the past and present.

In 1978, I received a birthday present that would forever
change my life. It was a six-week old Chocolate Point! Of course I had to hand
raise her, but as time went on, Mocherre grew stronger and prettier. I thought
she was the most beautiful cat and I wanted to take her to a show. I contacted
the breeder and received my next surprise; she was ineligible because she was
an
AOV colorpoint and pet quality as well.
This was the actual turning point, I went to the library
and got every book I could find on cats and began visiting cat shows. I contacted
Jeanne Singer who helped me get started and pointed me in the right direction
for bloodlines. My first "real" Siamese was a lilac point male, Singa Montaine
Elete, whom I bought from Jeanne in 1979. She also urged me to purchase two
females "Toshme Venus of Sanmaurs", a Thaibok Teriyaki daughter and "Allen's
Alexia of Sanmaurs", a Singa Blue Minstrel grand-daughter. During that time
I had the opportunity to work with many wonderful people and exquisite bloodlines
but a major life change took place and I was unable to breed for a couple of
years. It was difficult to start over because so many things had changed and
friends were no longer breeding, however, I was fortunate enough to recoup some
of my original bloodlines.
Our focus is to continue breeding and showing beautiful
quality Siamese. Our kittens are from CFA registered, Grand Champion and Champion
parents who conform to the breed standard. We do not support or condone breeders
that seek to deceive the public by advertising “Traditional or Classic” Siamese
as if they were a separate breed. This is not a separate breed. These specimens
are in fact, considered a “poor quality” representation of the
Siamese breed.
These cats will not have titles and are ineligible for show because they do
not meet the required CFA standards, although they can still be registered with
CFA. If a more moderate look were desired, we recommend looking for a reputable
Tonkinese breeder.
We take great pride to ensure that our cats are healthy
and free of parasites. Our cats our
FeLV,
FIV,
and
FIP negative. Show & breeding cats are sold with a complete feline
profile. Our pet kittens are sold with a complete health record, all shots
and a health guarantee. Our pet contract requires the kitten is
neutered/spayed at a veterinary recommended age, usually between 6 and 9
months. Once proof of altering is received, we provide the registration
papers. This also serves to protect our beloved
breed from breeding practices that are less than responsible as well as
providing the option to show your baby in Premiership. Our cattery remains
small to ensure everybody is spoiled rotten!
