We are absolutely in love with our fur babies! Very fortunate to have come across such an amazing breeder that made the entire process seemless. The fact that they are there for you if you need for advice, tips etc is just one of the personal touches we haven't experienced before. Absolutely awesome!!!

Do you perform genetic testing for hereditary conditions?:
Yes
If yes, what tests?:
We have been breeding a long time now and are starting to get an increase in the number of people coming to us who have had Siamese & Orientals die young from a range of diseases. While we have had none reported in our own lines, it did get us thinking. So we have done some research and decided to get our cats tested to rule out any issues.
All our breeding cats have been tested and are cleared for the following hereditary diseases well known in Siamese and Orientals:
Pyruvate Kinase (PK) Deficiency
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA - CEP 290)
A note regarding Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) - this is becoming progressively more well known and common in the oriental/siamese breeding world. We have been in touch with the most prominent researcher in the US (Leslie Lyons) and advised for this breed type there is only one confirmed test - ultrasound. An ultrasound is $400-$500 per animal. Its my understanding the problem with HCM in Siamese/Orientals is that it cannot be definitively ruled out - even if an ultrasound is completed it is an indication that the cat does not have HCM AT THAT POINT IN TIME. It does not mean they will never develop it. Current recommendations are to complete an ultrasound prior to breeding, and again every couple of years.
We have not yet completed any ultrasounds, primarily because we have had no reason to suspect it in our breeding lines. We have 5 generations of our line in our cattery, we have had no issues with our own cats, nor any reported to us from kittens we have sold.
We encourage all new (and existing!) parents of our kittens to get in touch with us should anything arise, and allow us to talk to your vet. This enables us to provide parentage and genetic history to assist with the kitten's health, and also makes us aware if there is something we should test our own cats for.
Every care is taken to provide happy and healthy kittens - and that is our most important goal.
Are your pets sold de-sexed or with a de-sexing contract?:
De-sexed
Are your pets sold as indoor only?:
No
Are you happy to send pets?:

At Jayallwend Siamese we specialise in breeding pedigree Siamese & Oriental Ebony kittens.
We are a small breeding cattery, consisting of mother and daughter team (Wendy & Joni). Together we have been breeding for more than 40 years. We breed for enjoyment and pleasure, and only have a few litters available per year.
Our aim is to produce a kitten exceeding NZCF breed standards, who has an outstanding nature and personality. Our kittens are bred for their temperament, making them a lively addition to your family - friendly, courageous, loyal, mischievous and fun!
These are PEDIGREE Siamese & Oriental kittens, registered with the New Zealand Cat Fancy (www.nzcatfancy.gen.nz). They are different from pure bred cats bred by backyard breeders in that their lineage can be traced and the breeders themselves must be registered and have codes to follow. We have over 40 years of combined experience but do not have a large breeding cattery. We do this simply for the enjoyment & pleasure, which is why we only have a couple of litters available per year. We breed our kittens for their temperament, making them a lively addition to any family - friendly, courageous, loyal, mischievous and fun!
If you live locally, we are also able to board your kitten when you go on holiday.
We will only sell our kittens to good homes, so please do not be offended if we ask questions. Our thoughts, first & foremost, go with the kittens, so knowing the environment they are going into is important to us, and enables us to ensure a perfect fit with you and your new kitten.
We can & do send kittens throughout the country, having homed our kittens in Christchurch, Dunedin, Wellington & up to Auckland with many repeating the experience to add to their new cat family.
All our kittens come desexed, wormed, de-flead, first vaccination (including vet check), pedigree (which shows their ancestors back to great, great grandparents), & our special kitten pack, which includes a full information sheet, food, blanket, toy, pet insurance etc. Wendy also microchips your kitten and lists the details on the New Zealand Companion Animal Register (www.animalregister.co.nz).

Ratty has settled into our home environment without any hassle. He is sociable, loving and confident and became friends with our Balinese without any problems. He has a strong personality and doesn't hesitate to let us know when he's feeling grumpy. He's playful and happy. Thanks Jayallwend.

We love our new adddition to the family! Basil is sociable, affectionate and has settled right in with his older brother Biscuit. We couldn’t have asked for more in the way Jayallwend Siamese have communicated, listened to what we would like and delivered him to us safely and professionally. Thankyou so much!

Thankyou so much Joni and Wendy for sending our lovely wee Lachy to us! We’re so pleased with him! He has settled in tremendously, especially considering he’s come to a house with 3 children, including 1 toddler who is constantly wanting to hold and touch him and squeals when she can’t. He’s extremely socialable, friendly, smoochy and is very good with the children. He is happy and comfortable exploring the house and getting to know his new environment.
Thankyou so much for your fantastic communication and support throughout the whole adoption process- you’ve made it such a fun and enjoyable experience for us all.
We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful addition to our family ❤️
