Our Cat Family

CH Castilleja’s Ear-Resistable Noodles (of CurlyDolls)

I lost my sweet Noodles in early 2019 and it totally broke my heart. Over a year later, i am still teary typing this. My boy and I had a very special relationship and i am eternally grateful him being part of my life. For our families who have his offspring, his illness was not something that would have been genetically transferred to your babies.

Noodles joined our family late in 2009; He was a Chocolate Mink boy with Aqua eyes. He was just the sweetest boy ever and did not have a mean bone in his curly body. My sweet Noodles retired, but never left our family. As our foundation patriarch and a big part of my heart, i have elected to leave him at the top of our family page.

His Dad is GC Castilleja’s Silver Baron (Tabor) and his Mom Castilleja Shadow-of-Nyx.

GP, CH Castilleja’s Blue Bonnet of CurlyDolls

Itty came home with us Easter, 2009. She is a brown patched mackerel tabby (did I add that a Devon can be ANY color?) She is a sweetheart. After several failed tries at motherhood, Itty has elected to make her future in show business instead of motherhood and she is currently retired from being shown as a Premier (My first cat I showed to Grand!).

Her mother is PattnChat's BlaznBlack of Castilleja (A hybrid-she is half Devon and half American Shorthair) and her father is Grand Champion Castilleja's Silver Baron.

2011-2012 10th Best Devon Rex Premier, CFA

Curlydolls Simba Roo~ Cameo McTabby.....

You remember Simba? I did not plan on another boy in the household, but here he is just the same! The middle pic is him in the window after getting his own water. As you can tell, he got a bit wet! Lookit that coat!!

Simba is beautiful and fits the Devon Rex breed standard so well, but...showing simply did not suit him. He would much rather be momma's rather spoiled boy. That being said, he is a pet-me cat and is fine with letting folks pet his wonderful coat, as long as in mom's arms.

Simba is neutered, but will always be a part of our house! He is my very special spoiled baby!

CFA: Grand Champion Curlydolls Deja Roo, Regional Winner

TICA: Regional Winner, Breed Winner, Supreme Grand Champion Curlydolls Deja Roo

Not only has Deja had a grand career, but she did it in BOTH organizations we show in!

Grand Champion Curlydolls Deja Roo. She was supposed to be my simba lookalike, but...nope!

We are so very proud of our girl!

Deja Became a grand champion at Devon Heaven in Birmingham, Alabama, January, 2014...and a TICA Grand Supreme Champion at the Yellow Rose Cat Club show in Amarillo, August, 2014.

She is a very pretty little curly girl...her only fault is she likes Dennis better than me!!

This cutie patootie is Rainingrexes Shaak Ti of CurlyDolls...

"Ti" to her friends, and "Spot" here in the house. She came to us from Mary Ann Gobat in Seattle...Mary Ann, I cannot thank you enough for this great opportunity, she is simply a pleasure. Truly, i cannot say enough good things about Mary Ann and her kitties.

Spot has now moved on to her very own pet home-right here in our town! She came out of retirement briefly for one last show...and thanks to that one show finished as TICAs 13th best Devon Rex Adult Internationally 2013-2014 AND 3rd best Devon in the South Central Region

Ti's parents are Anexus Skywalker of Rainingrexes and Rainingrexes Starry Skye. Mary Ann let her grandchildren name the litter...who would have thought when she said YES to naming them after Jedi warriors that all of them would be girls? Shakti is also a much revered Hindu goddess.

Ti is a tortie and white McTabby. She is a quad grand champion in TICA and is a Champion in CFA.

The Rainbow Bridge

Our journey into the world of Devon began with Princess Eris Allegra-Eris was every bit my babygirl and not a day goes by that my heart does not ache for her. Eris was a beautiful Chocolate pointed girl. Sadly, she succumbed to a nasty cancer in March 2009, less than a month after she first became ill. You can read more about her on her MySpace page: www.myspace.com/erisallegra

I miss you my babycat.
