Once upon
a time, in a land far away called Agua Dulce, there lived a mystical wizard
named Eärendil. He lived with two servants in a small castle deep
in a verdant green forest populated by many small fairies. Eärendil's
magic was very powerful but he never used it for his own benefit - he was
best known far and wide for his love of animals, especially small, short-haired
cats which he named "British Shorthairs." He knew that cats were givers
of pure love and worked, with his servants, to better the British shorthair
breed.
The
wizard Eärendil has been gone for many years now, but his servants
Scott and Thora, with their assistant Laura, remain in Agua Dulce (located
in present-day California, 45 miles north of Los Angeles). Their
small castle - which they named Eärendil Cattery 14 years ago in the
wizard's honor - is filled with wondrous cats. Some of the cats have been
seen in movies and television; others have brought home beautiful golden
awards that were bestowed on them in cat shows.
The Cattery
itself was honored by USDA and Animal Control with a beautiful license,
and visitors from those agencies show up unexpectedly for inspections 3
times each year. The cats
are registered and shown exclusively in the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA).
Eärendil
Cattery works with Feathergate and Ricehope Catteries.
These
pages tell the story of the modern Earendil Cattery. Some of the fairies
have left the forest temporarily to guide you. Just touch one of them gently
to be on your way.
