Announcement - Totallycoastal HMS Alyssum Six

Our 18m old homebred girl Totallycoastal HMS Alyssum, gave birth to 6 bumper kittens on the 26th September.  This expectant litter was the reason for letting the gorgeous Heidi leave us.  She was the best of Van x Shanty's litter, but we have expected kittens back from Broadside and Lily intended (Shantys Brother and Shantys Cousin), so it made more sense to keep from Alyssum x Van pairing instead.

Alyssum is a first time mum with a big litter, so we wanted to see how things went before we announced the arrival to the world.  She may have decided 6 kittens was all a bit much, and rejected some or all of them.  I can thankfully say that despite the numbers, she been an absolutely model mother, is coping really well and all kittens are thriving.

As already mentioned, the sire is once again is our loveable Van.  He passed on his short tail gene to the entire litter, (a super result for us).  There are 4 girls and 2 boys all sporting NST (Naturally Short Tails), straight-feet and shorthair, with the nicest range of breed standard colouring (brown with black spotting). 

Stud Boy Van

I am hoping to take some pictures at the weekend of the pixie pile for you all to see. I haven't yet choose which kitten will stay.  I think I have narrowed it down to a possible 2, but it's gonna take a few weeks more of evaluating to finally decide. 

Already we have several people waiting in the wings to reserve, so if you are interested I suggest you're quick and be added to our waiting list to avoid disappointment.   These kittens will be ready to leave us just before Christmas, as will mum.  Van is available now as a pet or as a stud boy.

HMS Alyssum has a super, super muzzle and chin, we kept her in our program for this reason despite her having a long tail.  Now that she has given us a litter to choose from with great looks, and to continue both her and Vans line, we can look for a lovely pet home for her to bring a New Year in.  If you are interested in either Mum or Dad, then please contact us.
