Scottish Shorthairs
Our cattery specializes in breeding Scottish Shorthair cats (Scottish Straight).
The founder and director of the cattery, Dr. Karin Roth, is a licensed veterinarian and certified felinologist who breeds cats out of passion and as a professional hobby. Karin’s husband, Norman Roth, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the cattery.
The name of the cattery comes from the Celtic language. Translated, “Rory” means “Red King” and “Mac” means “son.” Therefore, the Estonian translation is “Son of the Red King.”
Voluntary Responsible Breeder Program
We use highly regarded American and Canadian lines of cats, including World Champions and other top show-class cats.
The cats used in breeding are very carefully selected and eagerly anticipated. Our cattery’s cats are wonderful family pets, most of whom are also highly awarded show cats.
The goal of our cattery is to breed healthy, beautiful cats with exceptional temperaments above all else. Quality is more important than quantity. Our standards are high, and we do not breed cats for profit. Every mating is backed by extensive preparation!
About the breed
Scottish cats have an exceptional temperament. This is exactly why they are so highly valued and distinct from other breeds. They are quiet, greatly enjoy human company, and express this daily.
Cat Shows
Attending cat shows is a wonderful hobby for the whole family, especially if the cat is of show quality and has the potential to win various awards, trophies, and rosettes. It’s an engaging world that may seem very confusing to a novice. Therefore, I’ll write a bit about what’s happening in Estonia so that anyone interested can read and get involved.
About Spaying/Neutering
Nowadays, more and more cats are being spayed or neutered. Why? Because people who have cats as pets are increasingly finding positive aspects in having their pets spayed or neutered. The following article provides answers to the most common questions. If you have any further questions, please contact a veterinarian.
Spaying/neutering is performed by our partner, Saku Loomakliinik.
The families of kittens that have gone to new homes from our cattery sincerely share their joy and experiences – because every purr is the best feedback for our work.
Time has flown by, and Cedrus has already grown into a beautiful big cat. He’s a lovely lap cat with a delightful purring motor. He gets along well with the dogs and, when he feels like it, enjoys playing with them a bit too. I’m also sending a picture of our cool character.
Since I haven’t participated in a cat show before, I have a few questions about the upcoming cat show on Saturday: what preparations should I make with the cat beforehand, do I need to bring my own litter box, does the cage need a cover for the cat to have some privacy, and how early should I arrive before the start?
Baby kitten is home safe and sound. It was a very long travel day but he did great. After about an hour into the flight he went to sleep until it was time to land.
I absolutely love him. He has a great appetite and drank a lot of water. He played with his new toys for about 2 hours until he was finally ready to sleep. He slept with me in our bed and I think he already feels at home.
I take him to the vet Friday morning for his first appointment, so I will make sure she helps me with the microchip then.
Thank you for everything!!
Everything is great with the kitty! 🙂 She’s absolutely adorable! Yesterday, she kept hiding under the sofa, but today she only went there when we turned on the vacuum cleaner. She eats eagerly, uses the litter box properly, and is already begging for pets. When we went upstairs to sleep last night, she stayed downstairs and calmly explored the entire first floor. Today, she even ventured upstairs to check out the second floor.
She’s definitely a very playful and curious little lady. We’re absolutely thrilled that she’s now our new family member.
The new name for Olympia is now Beti 🙂
Juno sniffed around, ate nicely, and now is so tired that her eyes are just closing from exhaustion...
We made a nest inside a woven basket and draped a cloth over the handle, and Juno is purring in her nest—so everything is great!
During the day, I’ll try to look for a real pet bed. Hortes had a large selection, but I’ll check other retailers too...
Thanks for Juno and the guides, best regards!
Just wanted to let you know that the trip went quite smoothly, though there were quite a few meows at the start. Upon arriving at his new home, Julius checked out every corner of every room and was immediately so happy—he ate his fill and kept purring 🙂
After a long, long play session, he finally got tired around 8 PM and slept for quite a while; now he’s exploring again and occasionally whimpering a bit.
In short, everything is fine, and we’ll keep you updated on our doings from time to time 🙂
Hermione checked out - he was amazed she was so friendly and so energetic after such a long trip.
Said to watch her for a few days just in case - but all looked great. Smile
I’m letting you know that we made it home safely. He cried a bit at first, but later fell asleep, and by the time we reached Tallinn, he was even purring :). He’s very curious and seems to be adapting really well. We also visited the vet for a check-up, where they confirmed everything is fine—they listened, looked, and examined him thoroughly. He really loves to play, and we’re very happy.
And I have to add that we are still so happy that Erebos came to us. It’s always a joy to come home when he greets us at the door and curiously watches our daily activities like a little child 🙂
