News
- June 2003: Wow. I guess the saying about the shoemaker's kids
going without shoes is true! I've been so busy on other websites, ours
has been ignored. We have two girls who are just coming of breeding
age now and a long waiting list for kittens.
- August 2001: Finally some good news! We welcome into our home
a beautiful, happy and charming Lunarcoons Moonlight of Denalicoons!
- August 2001: Our sweet "pink thing", Tasha crossed
over the Rainbow Bridge due to a brain tumor. She was Toklat's playmate
and pal.
- April
2001: We unexpectedly lost
our foundation male, Toklat, on April 12th. The vets said the closest
analogy was to walking pneumonia in humans; his lungs and liver were
involved. His heart was normal. We will miss him greatly. Currently
this leaves us without a male cleared for breeding. We will have to
make arrangements to send our girls out of state for breeding.
- March 2001: Breeding plans
for Tundra are on hold until we get a better reading on her heart. A
cardiologist is scheduled to visit Alaska in July.
- January 2001: NorthStar's
heart exam was normal! Unfortunately she thinks Toklat is a mean monster
and he's too much of a gentleman to push the relationship.
- December 2000:
We do not expect kittens for a while. We are re-evaluating some of our
breeding plans for cat health reasons. Tundra is recuperating from major
surgery and doing well. In trying to have a routine exam of her heart
done, a common birth defect was found. Much of her liver was up in the
heart cavitity and crowding the heart. So she had surgery mid-month.
- June 3, 2000:
Kobi delivered right on schedule on May 31. Unfortunately, there were
no live kittens. The good news is that Kobi is doing fine and there
was no c-section needed. We will most likely breed NorthStar next in
about a month.
- March 27, 2000: Kobi (Denalicoons
Kobuk) has decided she likes her date! If this breeding takes she should
have kittens at the end of May/start of June. Kittens from this litter
would be able to go to their new homes about Labor Day weekend.
- March 19, 2000
: Denalicoons Kobuk is currently visiting with Capecoons Cowboy
of Luvpaws. Once her date is over, we hope to have a litter of kittens!
- 1999: It was a difficult year on
a personal level with family issues that delayed work with our cats.
In addition, testing on our breeding cats was not entirely as we had
hoped. We made several changes in the breeding program. Most notiably
Wickersham is currently out of the breeding program but is still a loving
and active boy!
