UpperValley Franklin

Our first full Tennessee Rex boy is named Franklin. He is a red tabby with short, curly whiskers and medium length fur.

Franklin advanced from kitten to Stud in Training in October 2015 and his first kittens arrived in January, 2016

Franklin was made a full sire with the arrival of his second litter and was our worshipful resident sire. However he then flew "across the pond" to Poland, to become the first Tennessee Satin Rex in Europe where he has sired several litters. He is the grandfather of eastern European TR kittens.

Our full TR male shipped to Vancouver, BC, Canada in the fall of 2015 and is with a breeder to represent Canada in our effort to advance the breed.

Here is Hecktar after a long flight to British Columbia from Manchester, NH.

He had reservations about traveling in a pink travel home.

Hiri is a litter mate of Hecktar and will take over as our resident sire when Franklin moves to New York. He was advanced to stud in training in April, 2016 and will be made a full Sire when his first kittens arrive.

Queen
Highball Sprinter II

Highball Sprinter has retired and is now available as a household pet. See the carrier queens on the next page

Highball's story is on the carrier
breeders page. Her kittens are on the
2016 June kittens page

Highball Sprinter was a regional winner in the HHPK class at the Northease Region of TICA in 2016. She has now had her last litter and is being retired once her kittens are three months old. She's a very nice adult and gets along with all the others here in this cattery. Now she can relax and just be a lovely household pet that carries one special gene that brought several curly hair kittens into this world. As a retiree I ask $125 to help with the development of the Tennessee Rex breed and to cover some of the costs getting her ready for retirement. Please contact me if you would like a sweet household pet that has been raised in a family environment and knows the house rules.
