Who’s who - Sheerclass - Susan Chant

Based in UK.  A very short lived cattery, it appears they had only 1 advertised litter and the same year (a matter of months after) advertising their stud for sale in June 2015.  Looking for a breeding home, but saying that he sprays a lot and not suited to indoor living.  Also advertise a 2yo semi-longhair female too.  
So it appears their program closed before it could ever get off the ground.

There was also another breeder that started in Holland at the same time and produced the 2nd litter shortly after Anna did, and her breeding pair came from PixiePaw Cattery, unfortunately both catteries didn't last long.  Nathalie Bent of Farwest also started around this time too, but her first litter came after the aforementioned.  Farwest got lucky and outlived these pioneer catteries.

Who’s Who - Timberlands - Jerry Wolfe (aka Joe)

Joe based in USA kept Jungle Cats, Pixiebobs and other breeds he used his Pixiebobs to create hybridised new breeds such as Highland Lynx, Desert Lynx etc. This breeder as Timberlands provided Fiji & Mama Jungle cats to the likes of SierraSancturary and Rebelmountain to use experimentally and in isolation in the early years of pixiebob development.  Some offspring or second generation however did end up in pixiebob programs by the 2000s, and some 20 years later are distantly in many programs around the globe.

The likes of Mama & Fiji appear in pedigree, so whether this was accepted or rejected in its day.. they are still part of the Pixiebobs story and included for completeness.  

I have no further information on this USA based breeder, due to this experimenting with hybridisation of breeds wasn’t favourable, and so history is scant.

Who’s Who - Pixiebobdreams - Hermelinda Kabergs

Hermelinda had to restart her program (to meet a kitten back obligation to a breeder in Russia) due to an expect kittenback that was going to be passed on to complete this contractual obligation never came to fruition.  She had already wound down her program as part of plans of retiring and moving to the sun in 2020.  But due to this kitten back obligation still outstanding, Hermelinda started Pixiebobdreams, which was running for a short period of time and was formerly a program known as Catsheaven.

1 kitten under Pixiebobdreans has gone back into the gene pool with a breeding placement with Svetlana, the other littermate has been petted. 

Hermelinda has now announced her retirement for a second time.  Pixiebobdreams existence was fleeting and closed in 2025.

Who’s who - Cutlass Mountain Pixiebobs - George Adams

This cattery operated very much independently from the breed circle.  So to much is known about them, and their lines therefore were not distributed much.  They may have bred and sold pets only, and therefore no distribution of any lines with cutlass mountains name feature in the pedigrees of any cats in breeding programs.  Nevertheless they were a cattery registered as breeding Pixiebobs (based in USA) back in the day, even if it was fleeting or contained, and so they are included purely for completeness.

Announcement - Your Story!

We may or may not have spoken before, but I’m Kelly at Totally Coastal Cats UK and currently a TICA Breed Committee member.  I have been developing this Pixiebob History Database/Repository for some years. I’m going around past and present breeders and gathering not only fundamentals (like cattery name, registries it was associated with, breeder name, location), but also their stories -how they started, when they started/ceased, what their foundation lines were that got them going, and any added lines along the way. Anything else you’d like to say.

It’s important that everyone who has played their part in Pixiebobs gets a mention.  I’d like you to have your say!

Please contact us to get your record entry added or updated.

Historic Document - Pixiebob acceptance into ACFA

The entrance into ACFA in 2005.
Carol and this group below went directly into showing the cats in ACFA. From left to right are Mary Gilbert (NativeDream), Terril McGee (blue shirt husband of RockyTop Cattery, holding his cat) sitting is Shari Fedewa, standing is Paul, then Carol Brewer beside him, the red head is Maranda Hull, the lady holding a cat is Linda Lowman (she divorced her husband) she's Bobcat Legends.  I think Paul might have been her husband actually.  Then sitting is Christine Humphreys on the far right (TwilightHunter Cattery). 

The only woman that is unknown here is the standing woman behind Christine with the light blue shirt, so can anyone please help with identifying this lady?
