Breeder of Norwegian Forest Cats and Old Style Siamese/Thai

Welcome to Norskipoints Cattery

Hello! My name is Sarah Schuler and my mother and I co-own our cattery named Norskipoints located in central Iowa. Above is a picture of me in my traditional Norwegian costume. After reading more about this cattery, you will find that we are very traditional when it comes to our preference in cats!

Here, we breed the traditional cats of Norway and Thailand. The Norwegian Forest Cat has been brought into the hearts & homes of many Americans but here at Norskipoints we strive to breed towards the FIFE (European) standard to which Norwegian breeders have always used and still use today. Our type is more extremem in body length, weight, and ear size. I fell in love with this breed in 2004 and I aim to keep this breed as true to the original type as possible.

Here at Norskipoints we also breed the Old Style Siamese also known as the Thai in TICA. In May 2007, this large cat organization (TICA) accepted a "Preliminary New Breed" which they called the Thai. These cats are the original type of Siamese, also known as "Wichien-Maat" that were brought from Thailand to Europe and then finally to America in 1895. All "show style" originated from these cats but no longer have the same appearance because of selective breeding.

You may have heard of this breed being called "Applehead", "Classical", or "Traditional" Siamese. I have been breeding Siamese since I was a teenager but I now strive to better my lines. We have added a new stud recently with a CFA pedigree but with the beautiful Old Style look we LOVE!

Remember, this is only MINE and my MOTHERS preference in looks. If you are looking for a different look in either of these two breeds, I would be happy to give you references. I know many breeders in both breeds. I hope you enjoy my website and I look forward to meeting all of you interested in one of our kittens in the future! Thanks for visiting and come back again to see all of our updates below!
