 | About Us
Rubyclaw Cattery is dedicated to the continued development of fine Bengal cats. We are able to help match each person with the right kitten for their family. I'm Marissa (nick-name "Ruby") and I aim to know what each cat needs as far as care, what kind of loving kindness needed from the human friend, as well as the trusting play that kittens and cats need."
My sister Serina works on the paper work side with my mom to manage all the cats and kittens.
My brother Nic helps out in the cattery and is really great on vet visit days.
My dad is a registered nurse, so he's great working with the kittens.
And my mom, well, she keeps it all together for us; plans what what we do and when it needs to be done, works out the details for shows we attend, and she STILL has time to play with all the cats and kittens.

 | January 2012 Ft. Walton Beach, FL- Destiny Cat Fanciers: Our Junior Exhibitors did GREAT! Serina (Senior Advanced) ) and Nic (Junior Intermediate) did a great job, both earning FIRST PLACE in their divisions; Nic let CopperWind enjoy his show debut; Serina handled SilverTrax expertly! We also participated in the Clerking School taught by Laurie Patton, the Extrodinaire!
The kittens did well, lots of opportunities for them to learn 'how to be a show kitty'. I'm always thankful for the exhibitors who take the time to 'talk cats' with us, and share their knowledge, opinions and experience. Thanks Folks! |
