"Bungalow" means a small house, shanty, cottage, thatched or tiled one-story house in India usually having a single story surrounded by a wide verandah and sometimes an additional attic story. They became the most popular and traditional homes and quickly became associated with romantic ambient in tropical locations, becoming a very pleasing place where you can live in a nice environment as one with the nature. Formerly in India they were where travellers on a dark route could be accommodated.
We called our cattery by this name because we love simple, bucolic and rustic architecture habitation, jungle adventures and the wildlife. The Bungalow is a small cattery located in a tropical paradise, in a beautiful cottage close to the mountains, surrounded by trees, huge evergreens, Bougainvilles and with a magnificent view of the lake, located in the noble area in the country side of our city of Belo Horizonte - Minas Gerais State - Brazil. Here, the air is pure and enjoyable ... no better place to live and breed our lovely animals!!!

We started our project in the early 80s, and as researchers and felines lovers , our goal has been always to improve the quality of the national gene pool , introduce and promote some new, and rare breeds in Brazil . First, we joined at Clube Brasileiro do Gato (FIFe) founded by Mrs. Anne Marie Gasnier, "Typhsu Cattery", in September 22, 1972. Then, we joined at Clube Paulista do Gato (TICA), which had Mrs. Nelza Righetti Oliveira as President, "Baghdad Cattery". Mrs. Nelza became our mentor and supporter, spending her time to help us with unconditional support, and friendship. Later we joined at CFA and TICA , both in the United States. Initially the cattery was registered with the name "Maison D'etoiles", and then we chose the new name "Bungalow".
"Bungalow" has been involved with responsible cat breeding & ownership for over 28 years, and we have introduced some rare breeds into Brazil such as Abissynian (Clarion, Felinexpress, Gulfco, Kooper Kats, Pasht-Bast & Wil-O-Glen bloodlines), Bengal (Charmant, Millwood, Brockenmoor & Katznjamr bloodlines), Devon Rex (Cordurex & Loganderry bloodlines), Persian (Baghdad, Tambatajá & Harwood bloodlines), Siamese e Oriental (Aby Sil Ra, Belle Nana, Birregin, La Lune d'or, Love Oriental, San-Toi & Sim-Sim bloodlines). This hobby has taken up a big part of our life, and from that time, we have been involved in breeding cats for the many years and are working with only Top lines, combining American, Canadian, European, and Russian bloodlines. We have acquired the best cats available to us and are always improving ... to acheive the ultimate dream & goal of perfection!
We specialize in two of the most beautiful and exotic cat breeds, Somali and Turkish Angora. We love the look of these breeds, because they looks like a "Fox cat". We specialize in Ruddy Somali, and White Turkish Angora cats.

Bungalow cattery is not large and our home is our cattery and all of our cats have the run of the house. We are a small "Boutique Cattery" striving not only for quality, but also for beauty, and health. So our cats and kittens are always raised by hand, giving them love and care from the day they are born. This insures a friendly, well adjusted and basically trained grown up pet. Being this way they love to curl up on laps, sleep under the covers in bed, they love to play in our garden and are active member of the family. We produce healthy and outstanding kittens for showing and breeding who give joy to new owners at home and make them proud at shows and breeding program. Sometimes we have gorgeous kittens whom we can sell as wonderful pets. Bungalow Cattery is a closed cattery which means we do not offer stud service or send our females out to be bred.
All our cats have been tested for AB Blood Group, FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus ), FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), PL (Patellar Luxation), and the Somali cats has been also DNA tested for PK-def (Erythrocyte Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency) and PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy). We are so happy to say that all of our cats have tested negative/normal.
All of our kittens are thoroughly checked by a qualified veterinarian, fully vaccinated, wormed and are well socialized before going to their new homes. Once kittens have matured, they are ready to leave home between the ages of 12-16 weeks. As responsible breeders, we require all "pet-quality" kittens to be spayed or neutered at the appropriate age. This helps us do our part against the growing number of unwanted cats in animal shelters, and to help protect the breed against irresponsible breeding practices. We are the pioneers in adopt and promote spaying/ neutering procedures in pets, since 1999.

Due to the fact that we are so far from the CFA, FIFe, TICA, and WCF activity centers, and our occupations, we only have few opportunities to participate in its Shows, making it much difficult for us to take titles ... but this it is not an obstacle to share our passion by cats and the connection with some good breeders world wide and with fellow cat enthusiasts. We are willing to ship to most areas of the world, via the Confins International Airport. We export, but sell exclusively to qualified catteries, under contract, to serious breeders and caring people ... we are very selective in their placement!
