Hello and welcome to our web site.

My name is Rimma Vashek I am the proud owner of Magic Kiss Himalayans and Persians.

We live in a beautiful city in Israel located on the Mediterranean shore, Natanya.

Since I can remember myself I have always loved cats and dogs, and from a very young age I was surrounded by feline and canine companions.

Cats always held a special place in my heart. I admired Persians, particularly the calicos and bicolors. I started breeding them in 1993. My first bicolor to receive Best In Show was a female out of my first litter. Since then I have had the good fortune to experience other Best In Shows
from my own breeding program.
My next step was to fulfill another dream -- to have Himalayan cats, and indeed in 1996, I entered the world of the colorpoints. During this last year I have made efforts to reduce my bicolor breeding program and focus upon our Himalayan breeding program. We are a small cattery and our main aim is breeding for health, temper and sweet open expression with large eyes.

Our cats are very dear to us, they are just like our children. They don’t live in cages; they roam free with us underfoot in our home.

Our first and foremost concern is the physical and psychological welfare of our cats. We don’t let our kittens leave home before they are 12-14 weeks of age and fully vaccinated. When making inquiries we require a commitment to raise our cats in a home environment without cages, except for very temporary breeding purposes. If someone requests a breeding male, we insist on knowing how he will be maintained, so that he, too, will receive maximum human contact and interaction in a wholesome environment, and not in a cage.

We are a PKD DNA tested cattery.

All our adult cats were tested negative for, FIV and Felv.

We are a closed cattery, sorry no stud service.

Our cattery is registered with CFA and FIFe. I am also a member of The Atlantic Himalayan Club .

Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site. We hope you enjoy your visit with our dear feline family.

Special thanks to:
