Welcome
My name is Rachel Hartley (was Galloway).

Since being young, I have always had a huge passion for cats. My career path was always to be a Graphic Designer but that changed when I bought my first pet Bengal cat in 2006. One Bengal soon became three and at that point I realised how much I adored them and wanted to breed them.

After much research and careful selection and with the help of other breeders, my breeding program began. Then a few years later I was introduced to the beautiful Savannah cat and I knew instantly I wanted to breed them also.

I now breed both Bengals and Savannahs with my husband from our home in West Yorkshire and our registered prefix is SITTINGPRETTY. We are only a small 'hobby' business with just a handful of active and future queens and studs.

Because we are only hobby breeders and we have other jobs, we regret not being able to take ourcats to show. This is something however that we do plan on doing in the near future.

During 2011, we will also be expanding our breeding program and introducing more of our home bred Bengals, as we are moving locally to a much larger property. In the past we have used carefully selected outside studs but we now use our own studs where possible.

Breeding is not an exact science but through carefully planned matings, we do our upmost to produce healthy, happy and fabulous litters and I think our customer testimonials demonstrate this!
