Welcome to Lavender & Lace Cattery

My name is Vicki-Marie Thomson I live with my husband John in Puketapu, Hawkes Bay New Zealand.

While I was living in Perth Australia in the 1980’s I fell in love with the beautiful Himalayan Persian Cat (Colour Point)

Their loving and gentle natures make ideal companions I returned to New Zealand in 1998 and continued breeding under the prefix of LACE registered with the NZ Cat Fancy

In 2009 I started breeding the magical British Shorthair as well a magnificent cat they make very faithful laid back companions.  We moved to our lifestyle block in 2005 Firstly building a cattery for all our cats then the boarding cattery for all types of cats to come and stay with us Cats have a lovely country setting with an outlook to running water from a natural spring Lots of native trees which attract an array of native birds

All breeds are welcome to come and stay in our boutique style cattery, we have individual runs, sleeping units and a large playroom
