Occasionally, we may have healthy, retired cats that are no longer breeding that may be available to loving forever homes. Please inquire if you are interested in a young, retired adult.

Mela is so happy to welcome Brocade. We are excited to have a brown tortie in our breeding program. She has a wonderfully diverse pedigree, she has a huge personality and is a delight to have around. We thank Jacqui for this beautiful girl"

We are thrilled to have another blue tortie in our breeding program. Maddie is a valuable addition to our breeding program, with her wonderful type we are sure she would have done very well in the show ring this past year if we had not had all shows cancelled owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This beautiful boy has had a stellar show career. He has achieved the ultimate SACC award of Cat of the Year after being shown in 3 shows. He has beautiful head type with a wonderfully balanced body and a short, glistening brown coat. He arrived from Latvia in July last year and found a huge place in our hearts from the moment he stepped out of his carrier after a 28 hour trip.

Our beloved Libby was retired after one litter. She had an emergency caesarean and was spayed on the advice of our vet. She was rehomed with one of her beautiful kittens, we are so thankful to her new owners who send us regular updates and photos.

this magnificent young male is a very valuable addition to genetic diversity at Mela. He has the most wonderful temperament, has brought much joy to all at Mela and is a pleasure to show. He will be a worthy successor to his father Darien and grandfather Aurora Outback Jack

Tailor is the granddaugter of Mela Maid of Sunshine. She is a gentle soul with a very loving personality. We look forward to showing her as an adult next year.

This pretty little girl is Hannah's daughter and a very precious line to us. She has a beautiful lilac Burmese coat and lovely Burmese type.

This big boy has the most amazing temperament with a stunning, close-lying lilac coat. He is the first homebred boy I have kept and has produced some very promising kittens

This beautiful boy came to South Africa when Val Cashman of Aurora Cattery in Australia retired from breeding. He arrived at Mela as an adult and we decided with respect to him, not to subject him to showing. He has a wonderful close-lying, short, silky coat and passes on his beautiful top of head to his progeny. He has produced many strong, healthy kittens at Mela Cattery. Bill displays a wonderful temperament and we are very pleased with the kittens he has produced with our girls thus far.
