We are HOBBY Breeders based in Lincolnshire,UK. Westford cats show as well and work with some of the finest Abyssinian breeders in the UK. We belong to the Abyssinian Cat Club and really care to promote and raise the profile of this fantastic cat breed.
Would you like to share the pleasure of owning one? We have kittens available as part of our breeding program. We specialise mostly in Silvers but have Usuals and Dilutes too that are produced.
OR- Have you thought about being a cat breeder? What is your motivation? Success at Shows? Breeding for a hobby? Breeding for yourself or to produce kittens to be a cherished pet for another? Maybe its to perfect a certain color type or look within the UK Abyssinian population.
Maybe its to help keep this fantastic Breed continuing into the future!
Feel free to contact us at elainewestley1@aol.com or via WhatsApp at +447841042186. We are more than happy to discuss the joys and responsibilities of cat breeding, answer any questions you may have, and help you embark on this wonderful hobby.
Why is it so important?
Producing healthy, well adjusted Abyssinian Kittens HAS to be our priority. We try our very best using the knowledge we have gained to support our Queens in producing and parenting their babies.
Reassurance for you
We aim to have two vet checks, worm and flea treatment, micro-chipped, the complete imms, neutering and Langfords genetic testing done PRIOR to their collection.
Sharing Good Practice

Elaine says “Its been a long lifetime ambition of mine to be breeding and showing cats.
I am very keen to try and ensure that the UK Abyssinian type does not drop in numbers anymore than it has.
The humble Old English Sheepdog saw its numbers drop and was placed on a vulnerable native list by the Kennel Club in 2020 but has since been taken off as there has been a resurgence.
If we can reverse the plight of the OESD – lets try to re-popularise the Abyssinian again within the UK.
Elsewhere the US American type and the European types are doing better.
