We are very pleased to
announce the first spring 2002 litter at Thorsgard Norwegian Forest Cats. On
March 6th, a litter of four kittens – two females and two males – were born
to first-time parents Mycoon's Minnie-Me of Thorsgard and Champion
Yggdrasill’s Shadrach of Thorsgard. All of the kittens are brown
mackerel tabbies with white. They are a sweet, fearless bunch that all
have large, expressive eyes!!
Both females
shown below are available for adoption!! They are already spayed and current on shots.
Thorsgard
is extremely pleased to announce the birth of one handsome blue mctabby &
white male kitten on April 8, 2002. The proud and distinguished parents
are Champion Norskskogkat I Luv Lucy of Thorsgard, DM (a CFA Distinguished Merit
winner) and Grand Champion, Regional Winner, Breed Winner Felis Jubatus Faetter
Hojben. Not only are the parents lovely examples of the breed, but this is
also the last litter for both of these parents. The kitten, Thorsgard's
Kjetil of Katmaindu, will remain in the cattery.

May
2002 also brought another spectacular litter here at Thorsgard. A litter
of 3 brown classic tabbies with white (one male & two females) were born to
Grand Champion Thorsgard's Kebra K and Champion Yggdrasill's Shadrach of
Thorsgard. The kittens have their mother's long, lovely coat & pattern
as well as their father's excellent boning and laid-back personality. We can't
wait for the litter to hit the show ring!
The male is
reserved and the females are "on hold"...one female may become
available later this summer.

At this time, due to tightened shipping regulations and less than ideal
shipping schedules out of Des Moines Int'l airport, shipping a kitten is not an
option at Thorsgard.
We are expecting a late August 2002 litter between Nordicwoods Bellagio of
Thorsgard and Champion Yggdrasill's Shadrach of Thorsgard. Possible colors
from this litter are brown, blue, red, or cream tabbies, both with & without
white.
ABOUT OUR
AVAILABLE ADULTS
We occasionally have retire adult Norwegian Forest Cats available as companions. These are usually retired show/breeding cats and we are making the hard decision to part with them. We often feel that this cat desires or needs a home with fewer cats (or no cats) as companions. In these instances we take even more time and effort in placing our adults than our kittens -- they are our friends and deserve the best home we can find for them. We place them in very carefully screened, loving homes. Prices vary based on sex and age of the cat, but are always significantly less than the cost of young kittens.
The advantages to adopting an adult over a kitten are numerous. Adults have well developed habits and do not require the extra patience that a kitten requires. Adults are very loving and while playful, they are not as incessantly active as a kitten. Norwegian Forest Cats take up to five years to mature, and they will provide a lifetime of purrs and
headbumps.
AVAILABLE
YOUNG ADULT
Beauregard
is a year old red classic tabby & white male who is available for
adoption. Beauregard is an extremely loving, and friendly Norwegian Forest Cat
who has recently been neutered. We
had planned to show Beau in the premiership class, but unfortunately he found
cat shows too scary for his liking! Therefore,
we have made the tough decision to find a wonderful home for him where he can
get all the loving and attention that he demands.
Since Beauregard is a
slightly older kitten (born June 2001), he might need a little longer adjustment
time than a younger kitten, but would be a loving addition to the right family.
He has never been around dogs or children so we don’t know how he would
react…therefore we would prefer to place him in a home with no dogs or small
children. He does have all his
claws and cannot be declawed!! He is current on shots and already
altered -- we would ask $200 for him. As always, we would take him back if he
wasn’t happy or couldn’t adjust to his new home, so we prefer to place him
locally or within reasonable driving distance to central Iowa. Please email us
at ddursky524@aol.com or call us at
(515) 225-9387 if you are interested!
