Our Mission
Restoring the old style Siamese
Simply put, we want to see the traditional old style Siamese cat or Applehead now known as the Thai cats restored in the USA. We only breed a few litters a year so this will be a long process. Most people visually prefer the old style Siamese over the modern Siamese. We went to the best breeders in Thailand to bring our cats back. One of the breeders was featured in the BBC documentary on The Cats of Thailand. We have a passion for this old style cat which the Thai people have bred continually for hundreds of years and they have the oldest cat standard book. Genetically these cats are unlike any cat in the world and have genetic diversity unlike any of the cats in the US and Europe.

History
In the 1990's we bred the traditional Siamese in our home and they were raised with our children. In 2015, our last Siamese passed away at an old age of 15. We began to look for another kitten only to find that there were few Siamese Cats remaining in the US and only a few breeders across the USA trying to reestablish the apple head or old style Siamese cat now known as the Thai Cat. Due to the high demand for these old world cats, there were no kittens available with the few breeders that were out there. So we got proactive and went right to Thailand for our cats. The modern Siamese replaced the old style Siamese in the show ring. Breeders of the old style Siamese cat kept going and petitioned TICA to allow the old Siamese cat back into the show ring. TICA agreed but the old style cat was renamed the Thai cat.
In memory of our Siamese cats of the past, Shan, Blue, Fluffer and Sapphire.
