Our Cats And A Bit About Us
Who are we?
Welcome to our cattery, a dedicated mother-daughter team with some litters raised in Green Bay and others in Park Falls. For the convenience of those welcoming our kittens into their homes, all pickups are done in Green Bay. Unless otherwise noted, all cats belong to Jessie, though not necessarily planned for breeding. For more information about our cats, visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/kireinacats.
Aiko
Aiko, a black smoke Turkish Angora from Hylanderclan, was purchased from Barbara Azan of Azima Turkish Angoras in April 2007. She was my very first Turkish Angora and held a special place in my heart. It was Aiko’s charm that made me fall in love with the breed and commit to always having a Turkish Angora in my life. Aiko passed away in June 2018, and this website, along with my cattery, is dedicated to her memory.
TCH Hylanderclan's Aiyana of Kireina
Aiyana, a stunning brown classic tabby bred by Hylanderclan, joined us in September 2020 as one of our foundation females. In her youth, she had the spirit of an athletic tomboy, often showing a bit of clumsiness. However, whenever her klutzy antics were noted, she would elegantly demonstrate her grace, as if to prove everyone wrong.
As an adult, Aiyana has blossomed into a wonderful mother, fiercely protective of her kittens. Her achievements are equally impressive; she earned her Triple Champion title in record time, securing a Winner's Ribbon in every ring and consistently reaching the Final. Aiyana's combination of charm, grace, and exceptional accomplishments makes her truly remarkable.

CH Catnapper's Hajenius of Kireina
Haji, a charming black male bred by Catnapper Cattery, became part of our family in October 2020 as our foundation male. Known for his sweet and affectionate nature, Haji will follow you around the house, eagerly seeking hugs whenever you're stationary. He loves to join in on kitchen dances as my dance partner and delights in riding on our shoulders while we go about our daily activities. Haji is a cat who revels in being involved in everything and stands out as one of the most affectionate felines I've ever owned.

MAEAngora Chronormu of Kireina
Chromie, a stunning white Turkish Angora with captivating amber eyes, was born in April 2023 to Bahira and Zemi. Shown in the ACFA, Chromie has already made her mark as the number one Turkish Angora kitten in the 2023-2024 show year and ranked 11th overall. Known for her affectionate nature and chattiness, just like her daddy, Chromie loves to interact with everyone around her. Her playful spirit shines through with her favorite toy, the laser pointer, though she also enjoys balls, wands, and other cat toys. Chromie's charm and playful energy make her a beloved member of our cattery.

MAEAngora Jasmine of Kireina
Jasmine, a beautiful black smoke Turkish Angora born in April 2023, is a littermate of Chromie. She shares her father's chattiness, making her quite the conversationalist, and she loves stretching out her body to greet her favorite people as they enter the room. Affectionate and people-oriented, Jasmine is always eager for attention and companionship. Her playful side shines through with her favorite toy, the cat ball track, and she enjoys lounging comfortably in the cat tree. Jasmine's charming personality and endearing habits make her a cherished member of our cattery.
She is owned by Betty.

Kireina's Blue Sapphire
Sapphire, born on May 16, 2021, from Malia's first litter, is a stunning blue-eyed white Turkish Angora. With her gentle and quiet demeanor, Sapphire's striking blue eyes captivate everyone she meets. She is a very affectionate cat whose favorite place is on our lap, where she will contentedly sit for hours, napping as long as she is close. Sapphire loves to groom us whenever we hold her, adding to her endearing nature. Though gentle, she is firm about her boundaries and doesn't hesitate to correct other cats if they overstep. If she's unhappy, such as when picked up too quickly, she will vocalize her displeasure without using her teeth or claws. Sapphire's beauty, poise, and affectionate personality make her a treasured member of our cattery.

Eliteangoras White Sage of Kireina
Zemi, who joined us from Eliteangoras in Utah and was born on March 15, 2021, is an incredibly sweet boy with a love for cuddling and purring. He is devoted to my daughter and spends all his time with her. Although we had plans to show him, the COVID pandemic led to many cancellations, and as he grew, it became clear he wasn’t a fan of mingling with other cats. Zemi gets absolutely thrilled when anyone enters the room and greets them with a full-body stretch. He adores playing and will wrap his paws around your leg for a warm hug—just watch out for his playful love bites!
Zemi is owned by Nikara.

Kayakedi Pippin of Kireina
Pippin, a black smoke from KayaKedi Cattery in Tennessee, joined us on December 6, 2021, and has quickly become a beloved member of our family. His playful and mischievous nature keeps us entertained, especially with his favorite toy—the wand, which he’ll chase and bat at for hours. Pippin is a chatterbox, often meowing in the background of phone calls, adding a touch of joy to our conversations. His affectionate personality and love for everyone make him a light-hearted delight who never fails to keep us laughing.

Pamukkedi Ashira of Kireina
Ashira, born in September 2023, is a wonderfully quirky and highly intelligent black smoke Turkish Angora who has quickly become my favorite. With a penchant for scooting behind curtains to perch on the windowsill and play with the window shade—yes, she broke it, but I forgave her—Ashira keeps life interesting. She comes running at the sound of the laser pointer, ready to chase the red dot with enthusiasm. Her favorite treats are Catit lickable treats, though she enjoys Temptations and other cat snacks as well. Ashira is the only cat with extra privileges, including sleeping in my bedroom. Her endless curiosity, bravery, and love for greeting visitors make her a delightful companion. Despite knowing she's not allowed in the kitchen, she loves to scurry in when no one is looking, enjoying the chase when we follow. If ignored, she'll run upstairs to entice us and then come back to find out what's taking so long. Quiet and rarely meowing, Ashira purrs a lot when she's happy, adding to her charm as a fun and beloved member of our household.
I purposely chose a fun and quirky photo of her because it shows her personality so well!

Kireina's Fidget
Fidget, a striking black Turkish Angora with a distinctive white spot on her chest and belly, may not be show quality, but she excels in breeding quality, producing show-quality kittens. In her younger days, Fidget's playful use of teeth and claws made her a bit of a handful, trusted only with my mother. When my parents needed a good mouser for their farm, I knew Fidget was the perfect fit. She quickly proved herself by catching numerous mice in my parents' basement, earning her place. Over time, Fidget became gentler with humans, evolving into the queen bee of her home, where she keeps the other cats in line. An amazing mother, Fidget's favorite spot is either on my dad's lap or resting on the back of his chair while he watches TV.
Fidget is owned by Betty.

Kireina's Blue Phoenix
Phoenix is a charming blue tabby with a fluffy coat that transforms with the seasons. In the winter, she sports a lovely mane, which she loses in the spring, giving her coat a much smoother and sleeker appearance. Known for her playful and friendly nature, Phoenix initially played a bit too roughly with her claws, but she's since become much gentler, now preferring to rub her head against us in affection. She adores being held, exploring the house, and snuggling next to us on the couch. Phoenix enjoys all toys and treats and, while there are no current plans to breed her, she remains a cherished member of our cat family.

Kireina's Angel
Angel, born in April 2023, is a striking blue-eyed white female with a long, slender build and sleek, smooth fur. Despite her petite size, she is an exceptional mother, always keeping a close eye on her kittens to ensure their safety while giving them the space they need to explore and learn. Angel is affectionate and has a special fondness for my mother, often lying with her while she watches TV.
Angel is owned by Betty.
