About Us

Our journey started not with a plan to create a business, but with a single cat who changed everything. One small, sassy, affectionate little Munchkin kitten who immediately stole our hearts. That first connection opened a door to an entirely new world for us, one filled with tiny paws, late-night bottle feeding, joyous playtimes, and the deeply satisfying feeling of placing healthy, socialized kittens into loving homes. It wasn't long before we knew that this was more than a hobby. It was a calling.
Calicatsu Munchkin Cattery was born out of a deep love and respect for the Munchkin breed. We are not a commercial facility, nor do we operate on volume. Instead, we are a small, home-based cattery where each kitten is cherished, raised by hand, and treated like family. Every decision we make, from breeding pair selection to socialization protocols, revolves around one simple idea: doing right by our cats.
We believe in ethical, responsible breeding. This means we never breed just for color or aesthetics. Every Munchkin that becomes part of our program is thoroughly screened for health and temperament. We perform genetic testing to rule out inherited diseases, and we work closely with our veterinarians to ensure every cat and kitten receives the best possible care. Our breeding cats are not only healthy and beautiful, but they're also well-adjusted, affectionate companions who love human interaction.
Socialization is a cornerstone of our cattery. From the moment they open their eyes, our kittens are exposed to the sounds, smells, and activities of a busy, loving household. They’re handled gently every day, played with by adults and children alike, and introduced to safe experiences that build their confidence and character. By the time they go to their forever homes, they are ready to bond deeply with their new families and adjust quickly to their new surroundings.
We are very selective about where our kittens go. We don’t view them as products or inventory; they’re living, feeling beings who deserve lifelong love and care. That’s why we take the time to get to know our potential adopters. We want to ensure our kittens go to homes that are a good match, not just in terms of lifestyle, but in spirit and energy. We look for people who understand the commitment involved in pet ownership, and who are ready to give their Munchkin a life full of enrichment, care, and companionship.
Raising these kittens is more than a job. It’s a lifestyle. It means late nights comforting a mama in labor, early mornings cleaning litter boxes before coffee, spending hours tracking weights and feeding schedules, and investing not just money but huge emotional energy into every stage of the process. We do this because we love it. The joy of watching our kittens grow, thrive, and find loving homes is unlike anything else.
Our Munchkins come in a range of coat colors, patterns, and personalities. Some are outgoing and fearless, others more gentle and observant. We take the time to learn each kitten’s personality so we can make the best possible recommendations for prospective families. Whether you’re looking for a cuddly lap cat or an energetic explorer, we can help guide you toward the right match.
Many of our families stay in touch long after their kitten has gone home. We receive regular updates, photos, and videos of our kittens thriving in their new environments. These messages are some of our most treasured gifts. They affirm that our work matters, that the effort we put into every detail is worth it. Seeing a once-tiny kitten curled up next to their human sibling, playing in the garden, or being pampered like royalty is the ultimate reward.
Over the years, we’ve built more than just a reputation. We’ve built a community. Our extended Calicatsu Munchkin family includes not only our cats and kittens, but the wonderful humans who care for them. We offer lifetime support for every kitten we place. Whether it’s a question about feeding, behavior, health, or anything in between, we are always just a message away. We believe that adopting a kitten from us is the start of a relationship, not the end of a transaction.
We also advocate for education. The Munchkin breed is sometimes misunderstood, often due to their unique appearance. We are committed to educating the public about the reality of this breed—its health, abilities, temperament, and needs. Munchkins may have short legs, but they are agile, active, and full of spunk. They can run, jump (within reason), and play like any other cat. We make it our mission to debunk myths and ensure our kittens go to homes where they will be loved for who they are—not just how they look.
Being part of this journey has been one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives. Every kitten born here carries a piece of our heart. Every adopter becomes part of our story. Calicatsu Munchkin Cattery is more than a name—it’s a promise. A promise to uphold the highest standards of care, to act with integrity, and to always put our kittens’ well-being first.
We are endlessly grateful to the families who have trusted us, to the mentors who guided us, and to the cats who continue to teach us patience, humility, and unconditional love. If you’re considering adding a Munchkin to your family, we would be honored to walk that path with you. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We hope our story resonates with you, and we look forward to helping you write the next chapter—with a Calicatsu Munchkin curled up on your lap.
This isn’t just about kittens. It’s about love, legacy, and creating a better world—one tiny paw at a time.
