Kittens for sale
We don't have any kittens looking for new homes at the moment.
But feel free to contact us and ask to our future plans.
Our first litter can be seen on this page.
"The Dresden Files" litter, 16 weeks
Kittens from DK Eife will be sold with a pedigree from
FIFé.
They will be vaccinated, marked (tattoo or chip) and normally they will be castrated before leaving our home. Treatment for fleas and worms will be given only if necessary.
Kittens grow up as a part of the family and will be in hands from the start of their lives. They will be used to having ears, teeth, eyes and claws checked. Thus making daily handling and the yearly visit at the veterinary easier. Kittens will also be used to other cats. They will grow up on quality dry food and canned food and with raw meat as supplement.
Kittens will not be sold to homes where there are no other cats. A cat enjoys the company of another cat. Two cats can sleep together, play together and as it's said; it takes another cat to wash a cat behind the ear. The owner of two cats is also able to observe much more fun and joyful cat-behavior. We therefore give a discount on two kittens bought together.
Our kittens are normally not sold to homes where they will roam free outside. A fenced garden or an enclosure for the cats is preferred, but it is also accepted that they will live only inside the house or appartment.

There are many dangers for cats in the world of today. Traffic, other animals and people, who does not enjoy cats as much as the owners, are just some of the things. Cats running free have high risks of gettinginto fights with other cats, which can give wounds, boils and can transfer (deadly) diseases.

Us and our home
Our little family consist of Casper and I. My name is Eva. I have a bachelor in biology at the University of Århus, and is currently taking my master. Casper is a teacher. We live in a row house in the suburbs of Århus. The cats are mostly my interest, though Casper participate in it and enjoys the everyday life with cats.
I've loved cats since I was a little girl. This has steadily evolved into an interest and hobby. I go to a lot of seminars and courses to learn more, and participated in my first JYRAK breeder seminar in 2007. I have an interest for genetics and behavior too – both as part of my interest for cats and as a part of my study.
We also participates in cat shows, both for the fun of it and as a place to meet and talk to others of the same interest.
I have known for a long time that I wished to be a cat breeder and I'm very happy that this dream has finally come true.

The breed - European shorthair
Why an european shorthair? That's a question that can only be answered individually. When choosing a cat one needs to consider which temperament will fit you and the family. Also in the considerations should be how much fur care one wishes. And of course which look that appeals.
The europé is in general a very adaptive, affectionate and relaxed breed, though still with that certain independence so well-known and loved in cats. They are a very intelligent breed, and they're interested in all guests of the house. The europé likes to be petted and cuddled, but are not obnoxious in their affections.
The european shorthair is an elegant and agile cat, that likes to challenge its balance and climbing abilities. But it is not one to jump 3 meters into the air and balance on the curtain rail.
The advantage of choosing an europé over a household cat is the security in temperament and look. That is because both look and temperament is much more similar from cat to cat in a well established breed, since breeders select for a good and stabile temperament. In household cats there are a great difference in both temperament and looks.
