Stately, kindly, lordly friend condescend here to sit by me, and turn Glorious eyes that smile and burn
Epiphany Cats first started in November, 2000. We brought in two little four year old girls, Missy, a black that carried chocolate out of the Cactus Way lines and Chloe, a tortoiseshell out of the Magicious lines.
Michael had owned a red tabby Persian boy for sixteen years, when he passed on, Michael waited for three years to find just the right kitties to add to our family. Our first Christmas was so much fun, the girls were completely enamored with the tree and the bright lights and ornaments. We thought they might get into the tree or play with the ornaments, but they were perfectly content to watch. I had never owned a Persian before and fell madly in love with them, they made the most adorable chirpy sounds and followed you all over the house. Of course they slept on our bed and were always there to give their help and advice they are quite the talkers.
We decided to breed the girls, so we went to the cat shows in the Portland, Oregon area. I met and talked to the breeders that were showing. I met Jan and Paul Weiser with Catwalk Cattery in Auburn, Washington. Jan was very helpful and answered a lot of my questions. We looked for a male to bring into our home and found Jazz a Seal pt. Lynx out of the Myhimmies line from Colorado. We eventually moved to Florida where we brought in a Champion Chocolate boy Magic shell. We lived in Florida for several years then moved back to Oregon.
It has been a long journey with lots of life lessons learned. We have concentrated on producing chocolate and lilac and have added other color patterns. We are concentrating on producing healthy well socialized kitties.
