Although I don’t know where you are
I know how to find you.
The places where I look for you
are my heart and memories.
Our kittens often continue their journey out in the world, in new loving homes.
With gratitude, we remember every Northalla cat who has had a caring home and lived a good, full feline life to the very end.
FI*Northalla Inuit

Ansa (PR FIN*Topspot Angela The Knowing)
chocolate spotted female
b. 16.2.2008
d. 18.6.2026
pedigree at Pawpeds
cat info at Procat
Ansa was our chocolate spotted whirlwind of energy, exceptionally active even for an Ocicat. She quickly learned how to open doors, cupboards and drawers, and at times it seemed she could outsmart the humans in the house. One of her favourite pastimes was chasing teaser toys and ribbons, although in an emergency a fellow cat’s tail would do just as well. She also loved climbing and could often be found balancing on top of doors or curtain rods, always looking for her next adventure. Ansa was the beloved mother of our Wood Litter and one of the foundation queens of Northalla. Our heartfelt thanks go to Topspot breeders Maija and Sven Markelin for trusting us with our very first Ocicats, dear Ansa and Nasu.
Nasu (IP FIN*Topspot Nasuada The Capable)
chocolate spotted female
b. 16.2.2008
d. 29.8.2025
pedigree at Pawpeds
cat info at Procat
Nasu should perhaps have been named Nasuada the Gentle, as she was surely one of the kindest and gentlest Ocicats imaginable. She loved having her tummy stroked but disliked nose-to-nose sniffing with either humans or other cats. Nasu was the respected matriarch of our feline family and quietly kept everyone else in order. During the summer, her favourite activity was exploring the outdoors on a harness, especially if there were flies to hunt. Nasu was the beloved mother of our Metal Litter and, after raising her kittens, enjoyed many peaceful years as a cherished companion. Thank you, Maija and Sven, for these two wonderful chocolate spotted sisters, who laid the foundation for everything Northalla has become.
Leo (GIC FI*Northalla Viking Bronze)
chocolate silver spotted male
b. 26.5.2008
d. 28.9.2017
pedigree at Pawpeds
cat info at Procat
Leo was a BIG and handsome, our long-tailed snow leopard. At the age of 1,5 years and weight of 6,5 kg (all bones and muscle) he received Ocicat ry’s special reward of biggest ocicat male. Leo had most tender and very kind character, often a bit shy but always nice. Leo was papa’s little boy, and he went everywhere with Jari
Tara, GIC FI*Topspot LoneStar
Tara was our sweet and beloved fitness princess. She was a good-sized, muscular lady with exceptionally beautiful green eyes and wild OCI look. Tara’s speciality was very loud and almost non-stopping PURRING, by which she has enchanted all humans and cats in our family. Mama’s little Tara, an active and lovable cat, was the mother of Northalla Rock litter. Thanks to Maija Markelin (FI*Topspot cattery) for trusting this little Miss Sunshine to us.
Housecats Miuku and Pörri
We adopted long-haired housecat Pörri together with his old friend Miuku from cat rescue called Kissakoti Kattila in 2005. At the time Pörri was 10 years old.
Short-haired black-and-white housecat Miuku moved in with us at the same time as his friend Pörri. Miuku was 11 years old then. Both gentlemen lived until old age, Miuku over 19.5 years and Pörri over 18.5 years. Both had some common old-age problems, but could still live happily with the help of medication and correct diet.
