About Us

Hello, my name is Michelle Sostar and I am the proud owner/breeder of a small, semi-cageless cattery, Purrs-of-Luv, located in Southern, Pennsylvania.

We are commited to better the himalayan breed by using the best pedigree lines in my breeding program. Some of the lines I am currently working with are Cuddle-Paws, Kalypso, Demiara, Mountcascade, Whisperwood, Careyata & Karabel to name a few.

I can offer most colors of Himalayans including blue points, seal points, tortie points, blue-cream points, cream points, & flame points, including lynx points. I do NOT work with Chocolate or Liliac Himalayans.

All my cats have been tested for FeLV (feline AIDS) and FIV (feline HIV). They have also been PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) DNA tested by U C Davis at the University of California and all are negative, which means, they do NOT possess the disease-causing PKD gene.

I strive to produce happy, healthy and well socialized babies to show and be pampered beloved pets for others to love. Each cat/kitten is special in their own way, but all deserve to be treated as you would your human "child". All of my cats & kittens are raised underfoot around children (in a Family Daycare setting) to ensure sweet temperments & purrsonalities. All babies are handled and spoiled from birth until they leave my home/cattery into your home.

In 8/2003, I started showing with the Cat Fanciers Association exclusively, where all my cats/kittens are registered. I hope to show my show kitties to their highest potential and become successful in the cat fancy. I am a member of the Atlantic Himalayan Club & The Himalayan Breed Council through CFA.

I want to THANK Wylette Corley of Kurtn Klimer for entrusting me with my gorgeous main stud who will help to produce fantastic show babies for me. A HUGE Thank You goes out to ALL of the breeders these beautiful cats that you have entrusted me with that are creating the foundation of my cattery and breeding program. Your friendship and guidance has been a very important part of the growth and development of my cattery. Many, many THANKS also to the many breeders that I have met since starting in the cat fancy. I am forever grateful for your love, support, guidance and expertize in teaching me the ropes of the cat fancy. If it wasn't for these experienced breeders, I would not be where I am today persuing the dream I have had for cats since I was a young child. BIG HUGS to all of you, I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

An enormous THANK YOU also goes out to Livia, webdesigner of The Brush of Elegance for creating my beautiful website for me, your dedication for giving me what I want has been exceptional and I would recommend your service to anyone. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

So whether you're looking for a "show-stopper" or a "pet beauty", you've come to the right place. Feel free to contact me via email or phone with any questions you may have. Please enjoy your visit at Purrs-of Luv Cattery.
