ABOUT US

Ever since I saw my first Abyssinian in a picture book of cats I feel in love with their regal and captivating looks, it was many year latter whe I moved out and into my own place when I decided to acuire the company of my dream cat and so began my introduction into the cat fancy a world I had not know even existed. After discovering my unpedigreed aby could not be show I decided to search for the perfect little bub to teach me about showing and maybe even breeding so ofcourse I one thing lead to another and I meet a little Tawny angel who I feel in love with straight away. Lue aka CAV PN Magara Tawny Lucifer. We took to shows a little shakily at first, our show success started back in 2006 winning Supreme Group 3 Exhibit In Show with the Cat Authority of Victoria at lue's second show, we then went on to win the CAV Grp 3 Kitten of the year and CAV reserve Grp 3 Neuter of the year it was something I had not even thought possible to achieve at least not for me when I had only just began! A place in cat of the year was something we did work hard for and I owe it all to my little Tawny guardian angel lue. Since then I have been showing other cats only who have also achieved greatness in the show arena. In 2008 I hope to bring home the first ZURI abyssinians my foundation cats.

All is owed to them and nothing is lost as we strive for our goals in refining the Abyssinians type and temperament we get ever closer to achieving our dreams. ZURI is a small cattery that breeds and raises Abyssinian's for pet and show homes, we are located in central Victoria about a half hour drive from Melbourne city and a 45min drive to the melbourne airport. Our Abys are raised in our home as part of our family, we never cage our fur kids nor do we restrict them they have full run of the house and often curl up with us to watch a movie or help me with my paper work.

We are committed to maintaining the health, temperament and beauty of the Abyssinian and have worked hard to find the best lines that will complement not only each other genetically but also the breed as a whole. In 2009 we plan to import our first stud cat from overseas we have great plans for the future that we hope will bring the Abyssinian into a new age of health and genetic diversity.

We will be specialising in tawny and cinnamon but we have chosen abys who will possibly carry the genes to produce other colours.

OUR CATTERY NAME

The name ZURI is a Swahili word meaning Beautiful or Beautiful one, I could not find a better discription for the Abyssinian they are afterall extreamly beautiful so what better name for my cattery...
