Sasszkats Sunny Delight 

 

Sunny Delight Sunny Sunny Sunny is the new King  of the cattery as of October 2025 🙂  He was born on April 16th, 2023, to Ginger and Schnocki.  He is a beautiful Sable Silver Chinchilla Point.  He also carries a chocolate gene, and since Giselle does too, I should have some Chocolate Silver Kittens from them, as well as cream (orange/golden).  I will allow him to mate with some of my girls in the Fall of 2024.  To see how he does and what his babies will look like.  If all goes well, then he will eventually replace his dad.  He is a fun-loving, happy boy who loves to play and see what he can get into 🙂 He makes me laugh a lot with his little antics, but he also has a very mellow, gentle side that loves to cuddle and be close to me.  He always sleeps with me at night.  He is of good size like his dad, and his chubby little cheeks are really starting to show now.

Nonpareil Starlight Dreams

 

StarStar Baby Star Baby Star Star StarThis Beautiful little lady just arrived at the cattery in August 2022.  She is a Black Silver Chinchilla Point.  She was born on 3/05/2022.  This little lady is a dream come true.  She has the best and sweetest disposition ever.  She loves to let you know how much she loves you by coming and rubbing against your leg with soft little chirping noises.  She has the biggest blue eyes that just make you melt into them.  She came to me from Ukraine and had a very long journey, but when she got here, she was so sweet and purring like crazy.  She fell asleep in my friend’s arms on the ride back home.  I am excited to see the beautiful kittens she will produce.

Giselle’s Championship Title

Giselle

This little lady is the newest addition to my queens this year, 2022.  She is a Black Silver Chinchilla with superGiselle emerald green eyes.  I have been looking for a green-eyed chinchilla for over 2 years.  A very rare coloring. Typically, Chinchillas have blue eyes, so I’m thrilled to have this little beauty.   She was born on March 2nd, 2022, and she came from Russia.  So she, too, had a very long journey to arrive here.  She is a little love bug and is the most vocal of all my cats.  She truly lets you know when she wants attention, which is most of the time :).  She had her champion title when I received her.  She got it at her first show when she was only 4 months old.   She is also much bigger than my other queens, so she should have some huge, beautiful kittens.

New King and Queen to be:

Sasszkats Pretty Boy

 

Pretty Boy

 

 

 

Pretty Boy Pretty Boy Pretty Boy Pretty Boy Pretty Boy Sasszkats Pretty Boy is a Blue Silver Mackerel Tabby.  I will be taking Pretty Boy and Ohana to a show on Nov. 1st, 2025, and will allow the judges to see if they can tell his color pattern or if they have to add it to TICA British Shorthair coloring.   Pretty Boy is the son of Sasszkats Sunny Delight and Jasmine, and the grandson of Schnocki.  Since I am retiring Jasmine, I wanted to keep one of her kittens from her last litter to carry on her gorgeous colors and super sweet personality.  Pretty Boy was born on May 19th, 2025.  He is an absolute doll and beautiful to boot.  He is a very playful, outgoing kid, and loves to greet everyone when they come to visit.  I am really looking forward to seeing how his babies will turn out.  I plan to mate him to my girls around the fall of 2026.  He will be a great addition to my wonderful kitty family.

UPDATE:  I took Pretty Boy and Ohana to the cat show on Nov 1 and 2nd.    A kitten cannot earn a championship, but he did receive six finals—2 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday. So, at a show, they have to show in front of 6 different judges per day (usually, all 12 judges only judge once).  A final is held after the judge has gone through all the kittens at the show.  On Saturday, there were 41 kittens (all breeds—long- and short-haired).  On Sunday, there were 33 kittens.   His highest final was 4th place, which is actually very impressive for a 5-month-old kitten.  If he had been an Adult, he would have received the title of Grand Champion.  He will have some amazing kittens just like his mom did.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ohana Ovacion Geirlina Dolce

 

 

Ohana Ohana Ohana is my newest little female.  She is a Lilac Silver Chinchilla Point.  She was born on April 20th, 2025, in Russia.  She came to me on September 17th and has been such a little jewel.  She is very outgoing and, just like Pretty Boy, she wants to greet everyone who comes to the door.  She loves to cuddle and will climb into my lap whenever she gets the chance.  She also loves to play with all the other kittens, and she and Pretty Boy have become fast friends.  I plan to mate her in the fall of 2026, so for now, I am just enjoying the kitten energy and love.  She will be an excellent addition to my kitty family.

 

 

 

 

Retired or Passed Cattery Kittys

The cats below have either been retired and rehomed or passed on.  They will always hold a very dear spot and love in my heart.  They were exceptional kitties, and I will never forget them for the treasures they are.

Schoenweg Royal Crystal of Sasszkats (Schnocki)

Schnocki

Mr Grumpy
Schnocki, age 3 and 1/2, also known as Mr Grumpy
At rest
Age 7 months old

I officially retired Schnocki in October 2025.  This beautiful and loving boy was the beloved King of the cattery for nearly 8 years and is the father to 122 beautiful kittens, including my newest King, Sasszkats Sunny Delight.  He has been a treasure and a total love to me over the years.  I rehomed him because I really knew he needed more one-on-one attention, since he is such a big lover.  He has been in his new home with his new dad since October 5th, 2025, and he is doing so well.  They have already bonded, and he has now taken over his new home and knows he is the King there as well.  I love you, Schnocki, and I am so happy for him to have such a loving dad and home to live out the rest of his extraordinary life.

Schnocki, as we call him at home, is my sweet, loving boy, or sometimes I call him Mr. Grumpy, for he always seems grumpy, even though he is not a grump.  Schnocki means little lamb in Austria, and that is what he is, so sweet and loving.  He is a gorgeous, big, Coby body Blue Silver Lynx Point with beautiful blue eyes.  He is my Purr baby.  As soon as you start petting him, he starts his motor running.  He is very, very affectionate and wants as much attention as you can bestow on him.  He does not do well in shows since he is a one-person kitty and prefers not to be the center of attention.  He has given me lots of lovely, well-adjusted, super sweet, loving personality kittens.  He is truly a Champion if only he would allow me to show him 🙂  But no matter, I know he is a Champion just without the title 🙂

Update: I took Schnocki to a show in January 2019.  He did very well, getting 600 points, but he didn’t win the Championship.  He hated every minute of it.  For this reason, I will only take him to one more show when he is around 2 years old (more developed so that he will do better with the older cats), to hopefully get him a final and a Championship.  Once he gets that, I will not take him to any more shows since he hates them so much.  My thought is that I will wait for one of his babies that has the temperament for shows and go for grand champion or higher.

FortisFortuna Jasmine of Sasszkats

 

Jasmine

This sweet little lady just arrived at the cattery in October 2020.  She is a Black Silver Shaded with green Eyes.  She was born on 5/09/2020.  TheJasmine Jasmine minute I received her, she was giving me kisses and hugs—such a little jewel with such Huge eyes.  My friend calls her my Alien Cat due to her big, wide-open, round eyes.  When she arrived at the cattery, I had 14 baby kittens running around, and she was in heaven with so many playmates.  It did not take her any time to fit right in with the rest of the family.  She is smaller than my other females, but has a super big personality that will make you laugh with all her little antics.  She loves to cuddle and lie in your lap any chance she gets.  I have a feeling she will have some super cute babies with huge personalities to match.

Paula Monoghan (Ginger)

Ginger

Ginger

I retired Paula in Sept 2023 since she had a B blood type, which meant her milk could be fatal to kittens with an A Blood type.  She now resides in San Francisco with a wonderful lady who adores her.  I kept one of her male kittens that was born on April 16th, 2023, to see if he will make a good King of the Cattery since Schnocki is about ready to retire.  His name is Sasszkats Sunny Delight.

Paula is new to the cattery as of March 31st, 2022.  She was born on 09-07-2020.  She is a Golden Chinchilla Point, which is a new color to my cattery.  She came from an excellent breeder in Istanbul, Turkey.  She had a long, long journey to get here, and even with that, when she went out of the carrier, she was all purrs and immediately began making biscuits (kneading) and kissing me.  She has such a loving and sweet personality.  She accepted all my other cats without an issue.  My male has been taken by her and will not leave her side 🙂  It’s so cute to watch the two of them.  She has an excellent pedigree as well, so I am looking forward to seeing the kittens she will bring to the cattery.  I will update with more photos as the years go by 🙂

She gave birth to her first litter on September 26th, 2022

I had to retire Crystal Rose in May 2022 due to complication after her last birth in March.  For her health it was best to retire her and find her a wonderful forever home.  She now resides with her sister Amber Rose  with Shawna who loves and adores them.  They are both very happy contented girls :).  It was hard to give these two girls up but now my heart is happy when I get photos and updates on how will they are doing 🙂

Crystal is a little doll. She too is a Blue Silver Chinchilla Point with gorgeous blue eyes. She is the sister to Amber Rose, so she was born on Sept 1 2018 and parents are Maddy and Skylar. She is bigger and leaner than her sister but is a beauty. She is mostly all white except silver on her ears, tail and just a touch on her paws.  No color on her face compared to her sister which means with that all white round face, her big blue round eyes stand out like bright little pools that you just could melt into. She has the softest silky coat of hair you can ever imagine.  She is much quieter then her sister and more paying attention to who and what is going on.  But she loves to play and cuddle.  And when the two of them start playing together they are tearing through my house like little wild fires. Its a true joy to watch them.  She has such beautiful well tempered kittens that love to cuddle and yet with an independent side.

Amber Rose

I retired Amber Rose in April 2022 due to having a hard time (C-section) with her last litter of kittens.  She still resides with me.

Amber Rose was born Sept 1 2018. She is a Blue Silver Chinchilla Point.  Her Parents are Maddy and Skylar.  She is a true beauty a very light cream color over all with shades of silver on ears , and a light chocolate coloring to her face, tail and tiny bit on her paws.  She has a great, beautiful coat on her .. very thick, dense and feels like velvet. Plus she has a wonderful Coby body to boot. With a very round little head and big round blue eyes.  I took her to a show when she was 4 months old and she won 6 first Best of Breed, 3 2nd Best of Breed and 2 3rd Best of Breed, but no finals :(.  I am sure that was due to her age. Over half the judges made excellent comments on her so I was very proud.  She has a very mischief playful side to her and has given me hours of smiles and laughter. She also loves to cuddle and sleeps curled up close to my head at night.  She is the best mom ever… She actually started taking care of the other kittens when the moms were away when she was around 6 months old.  She has now became a mom of her own and is a totally devoted mom.  Her kittens are amazing little beauties.

Estee Gregori Al Gato of Sasszkats (Nina)

Nina

Nina Nina

I retired Nina in April 2021.  She had beautiful kittens and was a fantastic mom and such a little doll. It was a very hard decision but she carried a long hair gene that was very dominant and meant all her litters would have at least 1/2 that were Longhair Brits.  Since I only want to breed British Shorthairs I felt it was time to place her with a wonderful loving forever family that lives in Pleasanton Ca.   Thank you so much Hannah and family for taking such loving care of her for me.

This little lady has a huge name for such a small sweet little thing :). She is my biggest Queen weighing just over 8lbs. She actually goes by Nina at home.  She is a Black Silver Shaded (Green Eyes). She is my replacement Queen for my other female Maddy whom I retired in May of 2019. I received her in March 2020, her birthday is July 6th 2018.  She is a little doll and has the most interesting eyes.  She comes from a very long line of champions and was born in Russia.  Her father is an International Grand Champion Blue Silver Point and her mom is a Grand Champion Black Silver Shaded. She is a super good mom and has a very loving gentle soul, purrs anytime you pet her and loves to cuddle.  Her kittens come in a wide variety of silver colored kittens including British Longhair :).. both blue and green eyes.

When she came to me her name was Alice Moon(registered name) but my grandson wanted to call her Maddy. So now that is what her name is at home :). She is a bit more on the reserved side and must inspect everything and everyone before she will warm up to you. This is one reason I will not show her for she prefers to be in the background watching. She loves to travel with Skylar to shows and be his buddy in there cage when he isn’t being shown. She is highly intelligent and once she warms up to you she wants to be loved and held every chance she gets. She is a super mother very devoted, caring and always on guard for any harm that might befall the little bundles of joy. She is a beautiful, small Black Silver Shaded British Shorthair her birth date is 5/25/2017 so is still a very young cat. I have high hopes for her and the beautiful kittens she will bring to the cattery. I retired Maddy in June 2019. She now live with my Best friend and is a very loving and happy kitty.

In Loving Memory

 

Skylar crossed the rainbow bridge on Sept 7th 2018 due to a tragic accident. He had bestowed a beautiful litter of kittens on us before he passed.  They were born Sept 1st 2018 (I wanted to wait till spring 2019 but Skylar jumped the gun, which I am thankful for now).  I have decided to keep his 2 beautiful female kittens to carry on his remarkable lines.  You can read about them above, there names are Amber Rose and Crystal Rose.

Skylar is my foundation male. He is a beautiful Blue Silver Lynx Point. A very unique and rare color. He is the most loving, playful and funny cat. He loves and demands attention. At shows he struts and wants everyone to notice him. At home he will be the first to greet you either by jumping in your lap or sitting right next to you. He loves all people and animals alike. He has been the apple of my eye since he joined my family. He came from Austria which was a 17 hour trip and I figured he would be scared for a few days upon arrival but when he came out of the crate he wanted as much attention as he could get and wanted to play with my grandson right away. He is my show cat and hopefully this year he will become the Champion I know he is :). His Birthdate is 9-7-2017 so he still is a teenager and has several years to grow into adulthood.
