Vanyar Elf Cats

Vanyar Elf cats blossomed from the home of Free Range Sphynx. Success has only come through working with the original founder of Elf Cats, Karen Nelson.  As a cat-enthusiast for over 30 years, and breeder for a good portion of that time, experience and lots of love fine tuned my passion for raising unique cats. 

Upon personally encountering kitten mills and animal neglect, I felt compelled to raise animals differently.  It was seeing the cats at the kittens mills that fired my determination to breed cats responsibily, perpetuating only the strongest, healthiest cats available.  I breed for the love of the species, not the profit in hand.

All my cats are raised in a loving environment with all the activity that a spouse and children bring.  I welcome anyone that shares the same passion as I to join in on this exciting time...as the Elf cat makes it journey back to mankind.

 Regardless of who you adopt from, consider these issues:

• Buy from a breeder who offers care and feeding advice and open communication. A breeder who will always be available to answer any concerns is someone you can trust.
• Buy from a breeder who can offer references from other breeders, their veterinarian and previous kitten buyers.
• Buy from a breeder who will take back a kitten at any time, for any reason if, for unforeseen reasons, you are unable to care for it any longer.
• Buy from a breeder who is more concerned about the happiness of the kitten in its new home than making a sale.
• Buy from someone with high standards and who cares to place kittens in the best possible home and asks a lot of questions.
• Buy from a breeder who has a contract regarding the care of the kitten and a health guarantee to replace the kitten if it dies within the first year of a congenital or genetic disorder.
• Buy from a breeder who guarantees that their cattery is free of infectious diseases, ringworm, fleas, earmites and all kittens have been dewormed.
• Buy from a breeder who guarantees the temperament of their kittens. If the parents of your kitten are selected for health and personality, then your kitten will be confident, loving, and sweet.
• Buy from a breeder who won’t let a kitten leave unless it’s in perfect health, and at minimum has had its first set of shots.
