Our kittens are descended from National Winners (NW) and Regional Winners (RW). Many of our kittens are descended from a National Winner, the highest CFA title. This beautiful ruddy Abyssinian is in all of the Alexy cats we have.

We show our Abyssinians to make sure we keep to the standard as the judges and other breeders interpret it. We also enjoy seeing friends that we only get to see during a show. And it also lets us interact with the public and show everybody in person how beautiful and wonderful cats Abyssinians are.

We are breeding for show quality Abyssinians from show or breeder quality cats so most of our kittens are also show quality although none are guaranteed to be.

Our kittens are usually sold as soon as they are available and often well in advance of their birth, and we have had a waiting list for over a year now (we will refund the deposit if you want it back and haven't gotten your kitten within six months, but sometimes a kitten is available immediately).

Our kittens are picked up and petted and played with several times a day from the first minute they are born, and when they are big enough and have had their first vaccinations, are integrated into the group of cats in our bedroom and sleep with us.

We are looking for breeders to help show the sex-linked red Abys to advance them to Championship in TICA. Breeders need to show at least one sex-linked red Aby in a TICA show at least one time in the New Traits class - for example, Mikey (cream male), Sky (blue torbie female), Sacrebleu (blue torbie female), Linc (red male), and Fire (ruddy torbie female) - and also actively breed the sex-linked red Abys in order to help. Please contact us if you are interested. We might have a deal for you! :-)

Like most responsible breeders, we do require that you fill out a prospective owner questionnaire via email. The questionnaire and deposit are required to be put on the waiting list for the next available kitten (in the order the deposit is received).

Aksum kittens may go to their new homes starting at 12 weeks old. We insist on indoor-only homes and no declawing in our written contract. The kittens come with their first two vaccinations (the last vaccination as a kitten needs to be at 16 weeks old), registration papers, and a five-generation pedigree. They will be already pediatrically spayed or neutered at our risk and expense if they are sold as a pet.

Our written contract has a health guarantee. Our kittens are guaranteed free of FeLV, FIP, ringworm and other major diseases for four days (requires vet diagnosis and test results), and from genetic diseases (requires UC Davis DNA testing results & vet diagnosis) and FIP (requires necropsy by vet) for one year.

Shipping is extra and is usually about $300 within the continental U.S. We ask that you pay the kitten handler directly or pay in advance if shipped cargo (not preferred!). You are quite welcome to come pick up your kitten here at our home and even visit your kitten before he/she is ready to go. :-)

We are available for advice for the lifetime of the kitten and we take this commitment very seriously. We also will take the kitten back if the new owner is no longer able to care for them at any time during their life, no questions asked, no blame.

The current number of people on the Priority Waiting List is: 3
This number does NOT include breeders (they *always* get first pick before the kittens are available to pet owners). We don't have the colors these breeders are looking for yet. We announce the available kittens as soon as we can after they are born.

Moonlight's kittens are now reserved. The dark cinnamon male has been tentatively reserved by us for one of our stud boys here. Moonlight's lilac male has been reserved by a breeder in the Netherlands for over a year. The other two cinnamons are tentatively reserved by the next person on the Priority waiting list.

Blue River Abys expects 15 kittens from Baja (5), Dreamer (4), & River (6). Blue River currently has only 2 people on their Priority Waiting List. Here's a great opportunity for you to have pick of the litter!

The next kittens here at Aksum are from Dancer due March 4, then Sacrebleu due March 8. Sky will be bred in the summer after she has rested. Soul Sister (ruddy carrying cinnamon) and Sunrise (chocolate carrying cinnamon and dilute) will be shown while they grow up this year and will be bred around one year old in late 2012.

A non-refundable deposit of $200 will be required to hold a kitten and be placed on the Priority Waiting List. You may make a deposit now using PayPal below, which also accepts all major credit cards without requiring a PayPal account. Please make sure you have already filled out and submitted the Buyer Questionnaire and have been approved for a kitten.

If we can't provide at least one kitten to you to choose from for six months after you have put the $200 deposit down, it becomes refundable at your discretion.
