ABOUT US:
Amerikitties is a very, small, in-home cattery nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Rocky Mountains. We actually sit very close to the foot of Pikes Peak, here in Colorado Springs. We have been at this location for over 30 years and love it here. We have herds of deer sauntering through our yard on a daily basis. Occasionally, we see
fox, black bear, coyote, raccoon and bobcat. America truly is beautiful.
Our cats are our loves. To me, to say "cat" is to say "Persian". I love their peaceful, quiet demeanor and sweet expression. When I was a little girl, I loved "long haired"
cats and as I grew up, that equated to the beautiful, good-natured Persian breed.
I also have Exotic-short haired Persians. The Exotic is a hybrid Persian and more husky than the traditional. I love their stocky body and also sweetness. I think of them as the "St. Bernard" of the cat world. The Exotic short-haired Persian is the Persian cat crossed with the American short-hair to produce the thick plush coat, while keeping the characters of the traditional Persian. All of our cats are our personal pets and receive love and attention throughout every day.
I have been married to my best friend for 42 years. He helps me with all my cat/kitten matters. He helps me with flying my kittens here and there, taking pictures, getting to cat shows or cleaning litter boxes.
He's the greatest. We are blessed to have 4 wonderful adult children and 7 GRAND-girls and 2 GRAND-boys. Our lives are very full but we each have our hobbies which we enjoy and to which we give some of our time. We both enjoy our kitties and our precious grand babies (now old!) and my husband has traditionally enjoyed tennis.
Our other passion is for this great country. Maybe because I was born on the 4th of July! I try to do what I can to maintain our country's standard, in keeping with what our Founding Father's intended. I am willing to make any small improvement where necessary or possible. I work as an election judge and am a delegate to my party. So
it is not surprising that my cattery took on its patriotic theme. Our country isn't perfect but I am thankful to be an American!
