Our catteryname, how did it came about

WHO ARE WE? AND WHY DID WE CHOOSE TO BECOME BREEDERS OF THIS WONDERFUL BREED

Lets start from the begining. We are a large family with five beautiful children, mixed boys and girls. We are located just north of Uppsala in the countryside., just 45 minutes from Arlanda Airport. The whole family is involved in the cats and everything that concerns them, which feels very fortunet  and we feel grateful for that.

Mum of the family is a licensed veterinary nurse. It helps a lot in our breeding with the experience and backgroundknowledge behind it all, especially when it comes to deliverys but also the importance of hygiene and other crusial things. She also helped her mum bred horses from a young age. To tell you the truth it is not completely different from cat breeding except for the fact that cats are just a tad bit smaller (with that said not easier)

The philosophy is still the same in any case. Aalways breed healthy individuals,  both physically and also mentally is the most inportant thing . To allways see to it that healthy stable cats are born into the world.

Mum and Dad of the family keep track of the big things concerning just that, but the children are true animal friends helping out with all the other important things as cuddles and play and to  prepare the little ones for the big world.

Our cattery name Aros Af Ryssgärdet came about, due to the fact that the place where we live is an old Vikingsite that was called Ryssgärdet and Aros springs from the way Uppsala formerly was called (Eastern) Aros. We name our little ones by old Viking names as you may have noticed. Ivar, Flora, Alve, Brisa, Atle, Lillemor, Blenda & Assar for example . Hope you found this background history interessting
