We are Sjaak and Wendy Nijland.
Together with our 3 children and animals we live in the little town of Monnickendam.

The appearance of a big wild cat, with the opposite loving, affectionate, gentle
character, made us fall in love with the Norwegian Forest Cat breed.

This meant that on the 9th July 2007 "Cattery 9 Levens(9 Lives)" became a fact.

Our Goal:

Our goal is to breed a type of "Norwegian" wich, in our eyes meets the requirements
of Norwegian Forest Cats, by crosing good pure lines with each other so that the
Norwegian Forest Cat stands close to its ancestors.

Goal:

• To keep the breed line pure so the pets stay healthy.
• Making choices within the breed line to keep the physical characteristics or
  improving them.
• To breed a type of Norwegian Forest Cat that appeal to us.
• To socialise the Norwegian Forest Cat to preserve its beautiful character.

To socialise wil say:

We believe in growing our cats and kittens in a domestic environment.
