Chat-Awhile is a small CFA registered hobby cattery located in Southeastern Pennsylvania.  At Chat-Awhile, we are focused on breeding a better cat through careful evaluation of conformation, temperament, and health.  The well being of our cats will always be our first and utmost priority and our breeding and showing efforts are always with this in mind.

We come from a rescue background and have spent many years as a foster home for various dog and cat rescue organizations.  Our breeding efforts always take this into consideration.  We recognize the grave pet overpopulation problem in our country and we strive to ensure that none of the Siamese from our breeding will ever end up homeless or in a shelter.  With this in mind we will always take back any Siamese we have bred for any reason.  In fact, we insist on the return of any of our cats who cannot remain in their original homes, for any reason.  

Our breeding cats live with us in our house as members of the family.  We do not maintain a separate cattery facility.  Our kittens are raised underfoot, born in our bedroom and socialized from the moment of birth.  They make extremely affectionate and loving pets.

Many people ask us if breeding cats is profitable, or assume that we are making a lot of money by breeding cats.  To those I answer (as others have) that the way to make a small fortune breeding cats is to start out with a large fortune. Breeding any animal properly, with responsible ethics and practices, is an expensive undertaking.  Cat breeding is a hobby, not a business and as a hobby we invest far more into it monetarily than we could ever hope to get from it.  We are repaid by our enjoyment, love and companionship of the cats, not by money.
