My name is Sue. I have my small, hobby cattery here in Arizona. I am originally from Iowa and grew up in a town called Sioux City. It was there that I developed my love of animals. I was lucky to have parents with a lot of patience and who weren't shocked every time I brought home a stray or wounded animal. I've always loved cats. I decided on Siberians as my breed after accidentally happening upon them while researching information on my dog - an American Eskimo. I had been mulling showing and breeding for sometime and I thought Siberians as newer breed would give me a great chance to make a difference.
Prekrasne - Slavic (Croatian, Czech, etc.) meaning stunning or strikingly beautiful Prekrasnya - Russian meaning magnificant
I wanted the Russian spelling but found a Russian cattery with the same name. Although they do not appear to be breeding at this time, I did not want to cause any confusion.
While I do breed, I have no desire to be a large scale breeder. I prefer to have a handful of quality cats that occasionally have kittens. By not having numerous cats, this allows me the time to spend with each cat and their kittens and also the time to spend attending shows. I love my cats and I just don't feel it is in their best interests or mine to have so many that it becomes stressful for both of us. So, I am content with my small group that gives me a few litters per year typically between March and August. I typically spend the fall and winter in the show halls.
