This is Aja, our namesake queen and “First Female”.
Your Singapura kitten knows what warmth, love and happiness is.
Sadly, she is no longer with us. She is and was an all around superlative feline…a Superior Cat and a birthday gift to me by my friend Karen who bred Singapura kittens (since retired). I purchased my first Singapura, Tsing Hai, from Karen. Karen was one of the reasons I moved to North Carolina in 2009. Aja was my first feline “mom”. I miss her greatly.
In those first few years here, I helped Karen out part time in her cattery. Over the two years I worked part time for my friend, her cattery produced a couple hundred kittens. We agreed, independently, that Aja was the finest kitten produced over that period of time. Aja was the most consequential birthday gift I ever received.
Aja’s daughter Sheena Es is now retired (I am keeping her). Netta, Sheena Es’s daughter has carried on Aja’s legacy. Now Netta herself is being retired (the fall of 2023) after I acquire a holdback female from her next litter this summer (Netta has already been sold). My feline crew currently consists of Wana, Netta, Saja, Tyah, Gina, and my newbie, Amina Ae, born October 2022. Gobi and Sami are my no nonsense stud males, both terrific boys. Gobi was born in Romania, Sami and Saja in Austria. Amina Ae, acquired from a foreign breeder, also has European ancestry. Tyah’s mom Cleo (now deceased) was born in France. I have worked hard to produce a truly genetically diverse crew!!
This is Asiatica Cattery. A unique home raised Singapura cattery, currently with six moms, (perhaps as many as ten by mid 2024), all from exceptional and diverse genetic lines. Ten females will be my limit. Even with ten females, availability will always be limited. Currently my kittens, both male and female are $2,475.00 each. A $200.00 non-refundable deposit will put you on my waitlist for the next available kitten(s).
Each litter, including your baby’s litter, will be registered with the Cat Fancier’s Association (CFA). I am also a member of The International Cat Association (TICA) and the American Cat Fancier’s Association (ACFA). By the time your baby is delivered to you, it will have had all necessary preventative worming medications and vaccinations. At delivery you will receive a care package including a litter medication form, feline health record card, veterinarian certified USDA health certificate, toys, sample food packets, a plush baby blanket your little one has been sleeping on and other items all geared toward easing the transition to you and your family. Kittens are usually delivered into the open arms of their new owners at twelve weeks of age (no earlier), but can be kept here at the cattery for an additional four weeks at no additional charge.
About the Owner
I am Mike Lehmann, owner of Asiatica. I am passionate about all living things, especially cats, Singapuras in particular, as well as plants. Here in Central North Carolina, I am developing a private botanical garden, including many rare and unusual plants, many from Asia. In my “other life” I am also a professional landscape architect with more than thirty five years of experience in his field. I work out of my home, and it is here, at home where Asiatica Cattery lives. Where I keep a careful, paternal eye on my “flock,” including your future baby.
At first blush, many people seem to prefer spayed female cats over males. But look again—neutered males are just as fabulous, maybe more so, than the females. My neutered male, Tsing Hai, is a true sweetie, a “huggy bear”, a “Velcro cat”. We truly love each other. He craves my love and attention and returns that love and warmth back to me in innumerable ways every day.” He’s so smart, so good. I love him dearly. Moral of this story: don’t overlook a male Singapura kitten!
