Litters expected and planned 2025

It is most important to us that all our kittens grow in normal, happy homes with people taking good care of them. At the moment, we have one intact and three neutered/sterilized Ocicats living at our home, and two breeding females placed in good foster homes. We don’t want to overload the cat population at our home, and on the other hand do not want to place our retired, neutered cats to new homes. People are always welcome to visit us to meet us and our cats!

We breed with healthy ocicats with nice temperaments. We test for FIV and FeLV and have our breeding cats blood typed. Our home and foster homes are tested for dermatophytes regularily. We also have our breeding cats’ hearts ultrasound scanned and test for PRA and PK as needed.

Our latest litter was born on August 5th, 2025. The dam is our beautiful blue silver spotted female KCH FI*Northalla Kesäyön Usva, and the sire is the charming tawny spotted gentleman SE*Alsmarks Mhenlo, known as Niilo.

We were delighted to borrow Niilo from Amare-Cattus cattery – huge thanks to breeder Mari! Niilo comes from Sweden, from the same Alsmarks cattery as our own female Saima. Niilo has a very sweet and cuddly nature – just the kind of stud we were hoping to pair with Usva.

The litter was born and will be raised in a foster home in Nokia, Finland.

Health testing: Both parents have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. The dam has been blood typed (group A), and her heart was confirmed healthy at 1 year and 4 months of age. Both of Usva’s parents have been tested with the comprehensive CatScan genetic panel with no concerning findings.

The kittens:

  • FI*Northalla Det Regner Skomagerdrenge, ebony silver spotted male (OCI ns 24) reserved
  • FI*Northalla Chover A Cântaros, tawny spotted male (OCI n 24) reserved
  • FI*Northalla Raining Cats And Dogs, Ebony silver spotted female (OCI ns 24) reserved
  • FI*Northalla Piove A Catinelle, Tawny spotted female (OCI n 24) reserved

Below some photos of the kittens. All of them have started to grow and develop very nicely, the mom Usva keeping a super fine care of them, and apparently serving them cream in her milk bar.

Would you like to adopt a Northalla ocicat kitten?

We value most the health and well-beign of the cats. Our breeding females and males are always tested for contagious diseases (FIV, FeLV, microsporum canis) and blood typed. We aim in checking the lines of the breeding cats as well as possible, in order to choose a good match of female and male cat.

Our cats share the same space as the humans, and they accompany us in everyday living at home, and even share our bed if they so wish (and they almost always do). Also the kittens are used to our normal daily routines and they will be socialized so that it’s quite easy for them to get accustomed to their new homes.

The kittens will be ready for their new homes at the age of 14-16 weeks or later, dewormed, and vaccinated for cat flu and panleukopenia. Other vaccinations can be agreed. Usually we don’t sell a kitten before the owner candidate has visited us but for people living in other countries we are more flexible. We would like to learn to know the owner(s) of our kitten so that we can be sure that the kitten has a reliable and good home. We offer our life-long support to the new owner(s) – the life span of the ocicat can be up to 15-20 years. You can always ask us anything related to cats. Also we would love to hear how you’re doing, from time to time, and we would be exited to even see some photos. 🙂
