As you may know, Tonkinese are half Siamese and half Burmese. The Tonkinese pull out the best and most amazing parts of each of the breed.
A glimpse into the how and why their coats change with the weather (note that it changes gradually).
Located in Tucson, AZ, we are a small cattery with the singular goal of sharing our love of Tonkinese cats with others by breeding purebred kittens as, and for, pets. Our kittens are hand raised underfoot and treated as one of the family. Tonkinese (Tonks) are the very best of their Siamese and Burmese parents, presenting a delightful character, beautiful looks, an inquisitive intelligence, and remain good-tempered and playful throughout their life.

Love in Tucson |
She was vetted, quickly providing what I requested, and easily approved for adoption.
After carefully considering both the adoptive family and the individual personalities of my kittens, I offered Paris, one of the Destinations litter*, as a kitten that I thought would mesh well with the family's needs, the other animals, and the desires expressed in the application to adopt.
Love in Paris |
She was very excited and indicated how apropos, perhaps it was an amazing coincidence, or maybe it was just meant to be because Paris was where her husband proposed to her.
She also said that she would like me to hold off on announcing that Paris was reserved.
She confirmed that while the husband knew she was looking for a kitten, he was not aware of the results of the search. He was away and she would wait for his return to share that his birthday gift would be just a bit late... and what it was.

Do you have a story about your TucsonTonk that I could share? I would LOVE to hear about it. Let me know via email and we will chat!
Babe will be known as Prince Dewdrop and fondly called Dewey by all that love him... so I am guessing pretty much everyone! Dewey will join his family in mid-February and has already began the requested additional training.
