Tenra's Persians
Our World is a Tabby-World

About Us

My husband and I live in the northern part of Germany and have a small cattery with a maximum of 10 adult cats. No cages and closed doors permitted at all. We live in a house and our cats are allowed  to run all over the house and in our large fenced garden. Besides cats we have another hobby, namely our garden. If we do not “work” with our cats they love to help us gardening. Since 1986 we have persians, but we have been breeding and showing cats since 1988. We are specialized in tabby and tabby with white, including our most loved colour silvertabby and white. In 1997 we had the great honour to work in a leading position in order to reach the requirements to get the colours silvertabby with white as well as smoke with white (with the help of very special friends) recognized in FIFe.

Our principal aim is to breed healthy persians and exotics with that wide open expression as well as a  beautiful temper, as many people know already.  In our opinion this is just as important as a perfect head, body, and colour. We got all of this from Kikicat’s Ecclesiastes, a bluetabby Persian, better known as SAM by our friends, exhibitors and judges. He was 10 months old and CFA Grandchampion when he arrived at our house in October 1990. With him, our wonderful and successful breeding and show career started. Sam’s lovely expression and his charming personality is exactly what we wanted. With Sam and Lambada, a blue-cream,  we have found one of the best  breed combination under heaven. You will not find many cats  that match in such a perfect way. They are a perfect combination and brought fantastic and beautiful kittens all the time. 

Since last year we do not breed dilute colours mainly, but started to breed brown tabby, too, like our new stars “Kiss Me Kate”, PER-f-22, “Sam-So-Nite”, PER-n-22 and “Sam-Savannah”, PER-f-22. 

Please look at our portrait-sites to find more about our cattery and breeding program. Visit our silvertabby & white site, where you will find the story “A Dream in Silver and White”.

13 years ago we based our breeding program on the special cats mentioned above and at the  present time we are combining our blood lines with Kikicat again, as well as Jovan, Sarouk, Jenita, Dearborn, Equinox, La’noitan, Polcan, Harwood, Athelstone, Eddore and many other famous lines, which can be viewed on the pedigrees.
