Welcome to The Thorsgard Kitten Page!

Hello and welcome to Thorsgard Cats.  Currently Specializing in Abyssinians and Norwegian Forest Cats - we have also been very active and successful with our Maine Coons.  We have even been known to show a Birman!  Here you will be able to see information not only about our show cats - but also about available kittens and cats we might have available for you to take home for your very own!

About Our Kittens

Thorsgard Cattery originated in 1997 and is located in West Des Moines, Iowa -- about a 3 hour drive from Kansas City,  a 4 hour drive from Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, and a 6 hour drive from St. Louis, MO, or Milwaukee, WI.  The owners of Thorsgard Cattery are Deb Dursky and Libby Watkins.  Our goal at Thorsgard is to breed healthy, well-socialized cats who are at home---whether in the show ring or simply as a beloved member of the family. We currently show exclusively in the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA).

Our cattery (which in this case is our home) has been inspected by a licensed veterinarian.  For the past several years we have been certified with the highest rating possible as a "CFA Approved Cattery of Excellence."  We treat our cats as members of our family and do not believe in the use of cages. 

Our kittens are carefully examined by a veterinarian before release to their new owners between the ages of  12-16 weeks old.   The majority of our kittens will be going to their new homes already altered (spayed or neutered).  We want the kittens to be fully recovered from their surgeries and their last vaccination prior to leaving to ensure that they will be happy, healthy and ready to explore their new homes. 

If you have any further questions about our cats or cattery, please feel free to contact us by email.  We are not a "business" with open hours, but we will make appointments for people who are seriously looking to purchase a kitten or adult AND who are interested in the kittens/cats which we are currently offering.   Be sure to look for us at cat shows all over the Midwest Region (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska).  Thanks for visiting Thorsgard Cattery,  please stop by again.....

Available Kittens

We have two 6-month-old Abyssinian male kittens available for adoption. Both boys are already neutered and are up-to-date on their shots. One male is ruddy and the other is red.

We are asking $450 for the ruddy male. The red male had an eye infection as a young kitten, and as a result he occasionally has a “weepy” eye. While he is in excellent health other than his eye, we realize that he may need some ongoing vet care so we are only asking $50 for the red kitten. Ideally, we’d like to place the boys together in the same home as they are very attached to each other – so we would place both boys in a home for only $300.

If you are interested in any of the following cats, please email us at ddursky524@aol.com (email preferred) or call us at (515) 225-9387.
