For 40 years, the name of ZENITH has been associated with high quality winning cats and kittens at home and all over the world.

We began by breeding blues, creams and blue-creams from pure colour lines, the first of which were exported to the USA in 1969.

Prominent cream winners include GRAND CHAMPION ZENITH JONATHON (Best in show, Australia), INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION ZENITH ZACHARY (Holland), INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION ZENITH IVAN (Best Stud in Norway), CHAMPION ZENITH DIDO (Ireland) and at home CHAMPION ZENITH IDALISA and CHAMPION ZENITH VALENE, both of whom made Champion unbeaten in three straight shows and CHAMPION ZENITH SELENA.

Later, we diversified into red selfs with great success, one of the most famous being GRAND CHAMPION ZENITH MARCUS, who won Best in Show and Best Type in Show and became quite a legend in Australia. Other winning reds include INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION ZENITH PROSPERO (Ireland), INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION ZENITH AMBER ROSE (Unbeaten Champion and Best Red Longhair in Sweden), CHAMPION ZENITH ANGELIQUE (Unbeaten Champion in three shows, Norway) and CHAMPION ZENITH UNAROSA(Sweden). Winning reds at home include CHAMPION ZENITH VALENTINO, Best of Colour Supreme Show, PREMIER ZENITH NICKOLAI and GRAND PREMIER ZENITH RED RAFFLES.

In the 1970s, we were one of the first to begin to promote the exhibition and breeding of tortie-and-whites and bicolours and had great success with GRAND INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION ZENITH ROSALINDA (Best in Show Winner, Norway), CHAMPION ZENITH MINSTREL (Ireland), and at home CHAMPION ZENITH BRIDIE STAR and her litter sister CHAMPION ZENITH BETSYANNE, together with CHAMPION ZENITH AARON, (4CCS and four BOB awards in four straight shows at 17 months) and GRAND PREMIER ZENITH LESTER.

WE HAVE ALSO BRED CHAMPIONS IN BLACK, BLUE, WHITE AND TORTOISESHELL.

Nowadays, we breed tortie-and-whites and bicolours, including vans, in all the dominant and dilute colours, and solid colours in blue, cream, blue-cream, red, black and tortoiseshell. All our cats and kittens are correctly bred, with no Colourpoint, Tabby, Chinchilla or Smoke on the pedigrees and we use the best of UK, USA and Dutch lines.
