As my breed prefix, Inspiration, suggests I find cats truly inspiring.

My name is Jenny Carter and I live in North Yorkshire in the north of England.

I have always adored and kept cats, mostly moggies, but several years ago I decided to extend my hobby and began breeding pedigree cats. I researched the multitude of cat breeds through books and visits to established breeders. Time and again I returned to the Norwegian Forest Cat and realised this was the breed for me.
From here I got to know breeders of Norwegians and in particular Lorraine Brown of the Koolfur/Koolblue prefix. At the time Lorraine had some kittens available and she invited me to meet them. So it was that I saw and fell in love with Flame, an exquisite red/silver tabby and white Norwegian girl.

As my friendship with Lorraine continued we both became interested in another cat breed - the Siberian.
We investigated Siberian breeders throughout the world as at the time there were no Siberian cats in Britain.
We established contacts with breeders in Germany, Russia and Italy. Importing cats into the UK is a slow process but by 2003 we had a nucleus of queens and a stud-boy and are making preparations for more arrivals in the future.
Establishing a new cat breed in the UK is a difficult task as this country has very strict import regulations. In 2006 we decided, after much thought, to concentrate all our efforts on the Siberian cats & to stop breeding Norwegians.

All are cats are treated as family pets & we endeavour to breed well-socialised, happy kittens who love human company.

Inspiration now work with other Siberian breeders, including Koolblue, Fluffytykes & Nellstars to make sure this delightful breed becomes recognised in the U.K.
