Kitten Nickname: Rum

PEDIGREE & HEALTH INFO

 

IRum (now Tony) was the largest kitten in the litter and I couldn't believe how big he was when he was born.....over 5 oz!  He continues to be a big boy & the joy of the Chu's house.  I am so thankful that he lives with our very close friends Dan, Katey, Brenden & Blake in Illinois.  Also caring and loving for him is Barney's littermate brother, Willie.

**After my friends had to rehome their cats, Tony became "Toby" and was spoiled for the rest of his life by new human mom Tiffany. I can't thank Tiff enough for her love & care of Toby.

 


Tony is 3rd from the left

 

Tony is negative for the one known DNA mutation associated with HCM because both of his parents are negative.

Unfortunately, even with all of the testing done, cats can still die of the dreaded HCM. Tony died in August 2011 of HCM. His mother & half-sister are retired from our breeding program.
