About Us
How It All Began
So, why are we called "Bostinforest "?
After a lifetime of owning moggies and adoring them as a valuable part of our family, we decided on looking into the world of pedigree cats. Moving to a large house meant we now had the space and facilities required to care for them.
We live in an area known as the Black Country. It has it's own unique dialect. "Bostin" is a term meaning, great, fantastic, brilliant, super etc. How appropriate when referring to the Norwegian Forest Cat. Forest is referring to the beautiful breed itself.
Choosing the right breed for us was not a quick decision. We considered size, fur length, temperament, any health issues which may be associated with the many breeds, care and maintenance required, any issues concerning socialisation with humans and other cats. Finally, both the cost and using a registered, reputable breeder.
So put the 2 together and you arrive at Bostinforest! Linking our home heritage with the Norwegian Forest Cat breed.
The Decision Was Made
So in January 2016,we welcomed Normagikatt Mathis and Mekal into our family. With the words forever imprinted in our minds....They are highly addictive, bet you wont stop at 2! Little did we realise our lives would be changed forever. A special friendship soon formed between their breeder and ourselves. We are now friends with the whole family, they all breed Norwegian Forest Cats. We have had the privilege of having our cats from them and in turn they now aid and help to guide us with the world of breeding.
We could not have envisaged that just over 3 years later we would ourselves be breeders. Helping to preserve this wonderful breed and maintaining it's traditional look.
