Why a Minskin

Affectionate and entertaining, Minskins are members of a rare cat breed known for their intelligence, playfulness and love for people, children and other household pets.

Minskins are a cat-lover’s dream — they’ll greet you at the door when you get home, play parkour on your furniture to reach their desired destination, and then rest with you on the couch, snuggled up in your lap.

Minskins have a healthy constitution and don’t require brushing. With hypoallergenic coats, they’re the perfect pet for people with allergies.


Why Catskills Cattery

Our cats and kittens are never put in cages; they sleep with us, eat with us and play with us every day. Honestly, they’re always underfoot — and that’s why Catskills Cattery kitties are not just well adjusted, they’re the reason we call cats man’s best friend.

From our diversity of breeding cats (including four from the original TRT line) to the way we raise our kittens, and from the special Kitty Kare Package and transport options to the lifetime support we offer all our adoptive families, there is truly no minskin cattery like Catskills Cattery.

In fact, unlike the bigger, busier catteries, we answer questions within 24 hours and offer on-call support for emergencies — for life.

But you’ll probably never need it, because we use a licensed veterinarian to HCM scan all our adult breeding cats at 1.5 years of age and every 2 years thereafter, and test all our cats to ensure they are negative for HIV and feline leukemia. Our kittens, meanwhile, have been dewormed, have negative fecal exams, and come with a health guarantee.

What People Are Saying

“I am so happy to have my first Minskin baby from Catskills Cattery!! They are an astounding team that has gone above and beyond to make my experience with buying Coconut, my gorgeous baby boy, simple and enjoyable. Even after my kitten got home, they were always there for me to reach them and answer me if I had any questions about his health or how to take care of him. They are very reliable and never let me down. I have dreamed of owning a Minskin for quite some time now and I’m ecstatic about my cat’s loving personality and how he’s so gentle, always purring and constantly wants to cuddle and comfort me. He sleeps with me at night and has the most sweetest disposition. I love his attitude, and his personality is to die for. I’m so glad I finally have one of these special kittens that I can call my own. Thank you Catskills Cattery for helping me every step of the way. I can’t thank you enough. Owning a cat from you guys is really a dream come true! I really appreciate you guys so much and everything you do.”

“Since I’m new to taking care of a kitty, I really appreciate Catskills Cattery for answering my questions all the time! Even before I got to see her, they sent me photos to update me. Pepper is super sweet and friendly to people, and she stays close to me almost all the time. She loves to sleep right next to my head or in my duvet — adorable! Everyone who has seen her loves her, and that even includes people who didn’t like hairless cats before!”

— Alice (Plum)

“Catskills Cattery is the absolute BEST! From the moment I laid eyes on my little Dragon, I was IN LOVE! Elena, who is the breeder, was super fast and responsive! I was never left waiting for answers from her! She sent out frequent emails with updates and pictures about how my little buddy was doing! You never once have to question if the kittens are worth the money! When making arrangements for Dragon to come home she was very hands on and flexible! They even arranged my baby to be flown to Maryland with a flight nanny. Talk about AMAZING! I just cannot say enough about this breeder… When Dragon got home, he got a little sick (totally my fault). It didn’t matter what time it was, I would reach out to Elena, and she ALWAYS responded. Even with them being in New York and me being in Maryland, they helped me nurse Dragon back to life! If you’re ever having second thoughts about purchasing a kitten from Catskills, DON’T! They will treat you like family and will ALWAYS be available and kind to you! Best Breeder EVER!”
