Gildethros Turkish Angoras
Our Current Kittens
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Turkish Angora Kittens can go home at 3 months old if they're picked up in person, or at 4 months old if they must be shipped.  Turkish Angora coats are slow to mature.  Although most babies are born with fluffy coats, it's a single coat which soon lies smooth and sleek on the body.  Depending on the lines that any one kitten is from, it can take up to two or even three years for the coat to fully mature.  Kittens from different lines can have very different coats as well.  But pretty much all TA babies take a good 6 to 8 weeks to really start looking like Turkish Angoras instead of just long-haired kittens.  This said, we wait to post pictures of our Current Kittens here until they are about six weeks old and do start to resemble adult Turkish Angoras in overall type.  Please click on the links below each kittens' picture to go to individual pages.  There you'll find links to their parents' pages, lots more pictures, and a detailed description of each kitten's temperament.  Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of this page to see all of our babies.  If you don't find your dream kitten here, please check out our New Arrivals page for litter announcements.  And you'll find gorgeous older kittens and retiring show cats and/or breeders on our Adoptions page.

1 Kitten born on November 29, 2011 - Blue Solid Female
Dam: Gildethros Gold Nugget, Brown Patched Tabby Female
Sire: GC Gildethros Purrfect Charm, Hearing, Blue-Eyed White Male
Although this adorable little girl is sold, I'm posting her picture here because I have two more just like her who are available - Yippee!  They're information appears immediately below and I hope to have pictures of them by the end of January or early in February..
The two little blue kittens, one male and one female (I think) were born on
January 1st, 2012
Dam: Gildethros Wild Blueberries, Blue Silver Mackerel Tabby
Sire: GC Gildethros Purrfect Charm, Hearing, Blue-Eyed White
It will be a while yet before these two new blues are ready to have their pictures posted.  Just know that they really are the spitting image so far of the little girl shown above.  Although it is usually very difficult to tell the difference between a blue tabby and a solid blue from birth through a couple of months old, all three of these kittens are definitely solids.  You'll see a bit of what we refer to as ghost barring on all of them, but only due to the brightness of the contrast under the flash of the camera (plus the fact that you're looking for it now that I mentioned it!).  Just take my word for it that they are very nice solids for blues.  And as hard as it is to tell the difference between blue tabbies and blue solids in the first few weeks/months, it can be pretty much impossible to know if a blue is a smoke (or not) early on.  I'm beginning to think that this little girl is a blue smoke.  But it's way too early to speculate about the two New Year's Baby blues... One of the New Year's babies is a male and the other is looking like it's a girl, but I'm just not sure yet.  One way or another, they are definitely blue!  And cute!!

1 Kitten born on December 5, 2011 - Cameo Mackerel Tabby with White
Dam: CH Gildethros Purrecious Mettle, Silver Patched Tabby with White (Bi-Color)
Sire: GC Gildethros Purrfect Charm, Hearing, Blue-Eyed White
There were four kittens in this litter.  But unfortunately, one was stillborn and the other two died shortly after birth, probably from aspirating tiny amounts of the infected fluid when they were born.  I hate to share such graphic details on a highly public page like this.  But I think it's important for people to understand that responsible breeders do have many challenges.  So please go to this lovely boy's page to read the rest of what I have to say about this.  And by all means enjoy these pictures because this little beauty is a very, very Purrecious gift...

Although I have a bit of a waiting list (primarily for whites), the good news is that we're about to be over run with tiny Turkish Angoras... Yippee!  While I usually just post the upcoming litter announcements on another page, these litters are due so soon that it makes sense to post them here as well...

Due around January 18, 2012
Dam: CH Gildethros Kisaragi, Silver Patched Female
Sire: GC Gildethros Purrfect Charm, Hearing, Blue-Eyed White Male
I really don't think that Kisa is pregnant... But I've had girls give birth to singletons in the past when I was sure that they were not pregnant.  So only time will tell...

Due around January 20, 2012
Dam: GC Gildethros Summer Breeze, Hearing Blue-Eyed White Female
Sire: GC Gildethros Champagne Sun, Shaded Cameo Male
My lovely, elegant little Breeze is definitely pregnant.  She has had litters of four or five kittens in the past.  And it looks like she'll have another four or so this time.  She has produced some of the most beautiful blue-eyed whites I've ever seen as well as a number of fabulous smokes.  But she has had solid black and tabby kittens too.  And with dad carrying the silver and red genes, pretty anything and everything is possible.

Due around January 24, 2012
Dam: Gildethros Silver Feathers, Silver Spotted Tabby Female
Sire: GC Gildethros Purrfect Charm, Hearing, Blue-Eyed White Male
Silly little Feather is another deffinite on the list of pregnant girls here.  A very dainty little lady herself, she looks far more like a torpedo than a Turkish Angora at the moment!  My records indicate that she only had two kittens in her first litter, but I'm thinking that she's plenty big enough for three or four this time.  With Charm as the sire, the colored kittens will all be in the black color class - black and blue with or without smoke for solids and brown, silver and blue as well as blue silver for tabbies.  Plus of course more of those gorgeous, blue-eyed whites just like Charm himself!

Due around January 27, 2012
Dam: Gildethros Knit Whit, Hearing, Blue-Eyed White Female
Sire: GC Gildethros Champagne Sun, Shaded Cameo Male
I'm beginning to think that Knit Whit is not pregnant.  She's a bit firm and full in the abdomen, but she has always had great muscle tone and condition.  And she wiggles like there's no tomorrow when I try to palpate her, so I honestly don't know.  I reallhy do hope she is because she's entirely too lovely and silly not to share a bit of her with the world.  This is the same breeding that produced her first litter which gave us silver patched females and lovely blue and odd-eyed whites.  At this point, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that she is pregnant.  But if not, she'll definitely come into heat soon now that the days are once again getting longer.  And she'll be one of the first girls I breed for the next go round of babies.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
After taking over a year off from breeding, all of my girls need to have litters as soon as possible (not including those who already had litters in the latter part of 2011).  So, once these litters have arrived, I will start planning yet a few more litters!  So remember to check back in if we don't get your dream kitten from the above breedings...
