Although we love the Show-style Siamese-- they have the same wonderful
personalities as the Old-style-- we do not breed them at this time. Our
immediate breeding goal is saving multiple old lineages and keeping them
healthy. Sadly, many of the old Siamese genes and lineages have been lost
and can never be recovered. Our kittens are registered with CFA and/or
TICA and ACA. They have pedigrees dating back to the introduction of
Siamese to the United States (and beyond that, to the United Kingdom). *

BLACKFOOT RIVER Cattery is a proud member of PREOSSIA,
(Prestwick-Beresford Old-Style Siamese Breed Preservation Society) the
club that first named and defined the Old-Style Siamese and that is still the
only club in North America exclusively devoted to preserving Old-Style
Siamese. The Archenland and Cloud City Catteries mirror these same goals.
Inquiries via email are welcome, as are questions via email about the cats,
the cattery, and the Old-Style Siamese breed.

THAI /OLD STYLE SIAMESE

Blackfoot River Cattery is a small cattery in Montana. Our
kitten clients tell us that they have had difficulty locating
Old-Style kittens with authentic Siamese pedigrees. This
unfortunate situation is due to the fact that the Old-Style is
on the verge of extinction as the show rings of the major
cat fancies rewarded only a thin, short-hired and big
eared extreme of the Siamese breed. TICA now has a
Preliminary New Breed show status for the Old Style
Siamese renamed "Thai" to distinguish them from the
modern and extreme changes to the Siamese currently
being shown. Thai designation allows the wonderful Old
Style Siamese to again be shown and "re-discovered" by
those who loved the Siamese of their youth!

All of our kittens are raised with our two 80 lb "pound puppies" who were
adopted as unwanted progeny of canines that had not been spayed or
neutered. The white one pictured here is part Husky, part white Shepard
and probably has a bit of wolf as he is 14 years old. Wolf hybrids were
popular (and foolish) in Maine 14 years ago. Our 8 year old, big black dog,
is a 50/50 bloodhound poodle mix that looks like an Otterhound. Our dogs
and cats have grown to love, and to trust, each other. A kitten from us will
not be afraid of a dog unless it should be!
