Gallery

This is our 'Rogues' Gallery of Idlebeck kittens - past and present. Some still let us share 'their' home and others are enjoying being in charge of their new homes.

Though some of them look like little 'angels' and others more like 'rogues', they all have their own delightful personalities.

We try to advise potential new owners regarding each individual kitten's character and to make sure that every kitten is well matched to the type of home environment in which it is going to live.

This was the special boy who really intensified my love of the Chocolates and who features back in the pedigrees of so many of the present day Chocolate, Lilac and Colourpointed British, both in the UK and in other countries around the world.

He was a truly great character who gave us some really nice babies and also many years of his gentle and affectionate companionship.

He is still with us - under the old apple tree, which he loved to scamper up when he was young and then became one of his favourite sunny and comfy places for daydreaming as he grew older. Every spring the daffodils we planted on his grave remind us anew of our lovely boy, whose life we were privileged to share.
