Our Founding Queen

I fell in love with " Ch. Marlcreek Little Miss Tumbleweed" from a picture that Charmayne of Marl Creek Cattery had of her at the very first cat show I was ever at.  I knew she was exactly what I was looking for.  After many conversations with Charmayne, she agreed that I could have her.  I was so excited to bring her home.  My cattery was actually going to happen.  "Tumbie" was an excellent fit into our family and she made the cattery what it is today.  I am honoured to have had her here.   I can't thank Charmayne enough for trusting me with this little beauty. 

Tumbie had her first litter of kittens on my birthday!  My wonderful husband was home and helped her through the experience.  Sadly, only one baby survived.  Tumbie was a wonderful mom to him.  He is a beautiful boy and he now lives in Collingwood.

The second time Tumbie gave birth she needed a c-section.  She was having trouble labouring, so I took her up to the vet.  She gave birth to 5 kittens.  Two of them got twisted up in the uterine horn, sadly we lost them.  Tumbie had some damage done to her uterus because of this, so we decided to spay her right then.    She came home with her three kittens and again she was an amazing mommy!  She has 2 beautiful girls and 1 very handsome boy.

I was showing Drama at a show and I met a wonderful couple, Diane and Jerry.  I spoke to them about Tumbie and what had happened to her.  I spoke back and forth with Diane by email about Tumbie.  I decided that it was time to retire Tumbie to a "forever" home.  Diane and Jerry were the perfect fit for her.  Tumbie is quiet, sweet and lovable.  I couldn't ask for a better home for Tumbie.  

Thank you Charmayne for allowing me to have this lovely little girl in my life!  She is everything I had hoped for and more.  

Thank you Diane and Jerry for loving and taking wonderful care of Tumbie.  She will be a wonderful addition to your family!  

Finally, thank you Tumbie!  You made my dreams come true.   Without you, there never would have been Arcattarags.  I will always have your little paw print on my heart!  Enjoy your quiet, lovely life!  You deserve it, my little Queen.
