About Callista

Callista was born in cattery Eek A Mouse of Anna Wijbrands. Callista is a daughter to her Nina and our Iskander. When Anna brought Nina over for the mating we were so impressed by Nina's sweet personality and short coat that we really wanted a girl back from this mating. Next to Nina's great personality and fur her lines were also completely non related to ours. 

Anna thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to continue our silver/golden tabby breedings by letting us have Callista!!

Callista definitely has the sweet natures of both her parents. Her hobbies are purring and sitting on your lap (even when it's not confinient). Cuddling is a third hobby of her.

She unfortunately doesn't have the bold British Shorthair appereance of her father  (that's why we will not bring her to the show benches), but her coat definitely is an improvement. Callista's litter brothers and sister are two blue silver tabbies and a black golden tabby. So it's possible that she carries the silver gene only one time (and therefore probably can give golden kittens) and that she carries the dilution gene.
