My name is Joan Pounds and I live on the edge of Cheltenham in the beautiful Cotswolds, together with my husband and three teenage sons. I show and breed Siamese Cats and I am a Qualified GCCF Steward and Probationer Judge of Siamese Cats. I am also the Secretary of the Siamese Cat Society of the British Empire and the Blue Point Siamese Cat Club and on the committee of the Caramel and Apricot Foundation and the Tabby Pointed Siamese Cat Club. I am also the Show Manager for the Breed 32 Cat Show and the Tabby Point & Progressive Breeders Cat Club Show.

For many years I was involved in and ultimately the co-ordinator of Cheltenham Cats Protection. I care very deeply about cat welfare issues and would do anything I could to alleviate the suffering that many cats are subject to – particularly in the feral and stray populations. I had long promised myself that when I eventually scaled down my CP work and I had more time, I would realise my long held ambition to own a Siamese Cat.

In 2002 I was lucky enough to be able to purchase my first and very much loved Siamese from Celia Simpson – Shermese Reachforastar. Star was a Seal Tabby Point male and through him I caught the showing bug and became totally and completely hooked on Siamese. Sadly Star became ill and passed away aged just 2 years old.

Before Star died and after a long search, I found two breeders who were willing to give a first time breeder a chance and the Lilac Tortie, Khancoban Starburst and Seal Tortie, Sunsational Anastasia came to live with us. Sadly, Etoile the Lilac Tortie was never able to have kittens and was neutered, but Anna the Seal Tortie, became my foundation queen.

Ch Sunsational Anastasia

Ch Sunsational Anastasia has now had 5 litters, totalling 35 kittens, most of which she has raised and passed on her wonderful temperament to. She is the mother of numerous Champions, Premiers and Grand Premiers. Her “husband” was Lynn Studer’s magnificent Gr Ch Johpas Trickortreat and I cannot thank Lynn enough for all her help and advice over the years.

Thanks must also go to Barbara Summers who had enough faith in me to allow me one of her very precious kittens, Tikindi Infinitesse. Tess subsequently became Best of Variety Siamese Kitten at the Supreme in 2004 and then mother to a beautiful litter of kittens to Gr Ch Johpas Galileo.

This litter produced Imp Gr Pr Jomese Jackthelad, who was Best of Variety Siamese kitten at the Supreme 2005, and Ch & Pr Jomese Jeanie Blueyes. Devastatingly, and just one week after winning her adult class at the 2005 Supreme Show, Tess died suddenly and completely unexpectedly from a closed pyometra. Her only daughter Jeanie Blueyes, had 2 traumatic caesarean's, producing the handsome Jomese Jingle Bells (male), a Blue Point pet quality male kitten, a Blue Point female kitten who did not survive, and a little Lilac girl who died, age 5 months, with a liver shunt. Jeanie was then neutered and my very lovely blue line ceased to be. As many will know, I have searched high and low to find another Blue Point (my passion) girl with both type and correct colour and I am now the owner of three beautiful blue girls!

 

All my cats and kittens live in the house and are part of the family, together with Daisy, our Golden Retriever. The kittens start life in my bedroom, which is 3 floors up and very peaceful, and come downstairs at about 4 weeks of age. They gradually learn to mix with the other cats and become used to the noise and bustle of a busy household. As you can imagine they are well handled by my sons and their friends and leave us at 13 weeks old as very confident and affectionate young cats.

I do not sell kittens on the active register unless I am selling to personal friends or people I have come to know and trust. I prefer my kittens to go to indoor homes, unless new owners can satisfy me that their gardens are safe and escape proof. Or they live far from any roads.

All my kittens go to their new homes with a guarantee that I will either take them back if anything goes wrong at any time in their life or I will assist in finding them a new home. I am always there to lend an ear or give advice if required.

Many of my cats can be seen at GCCF shows or on this web site.
