UlvikaNFCs

If you have ever visited Bronte Country, you will be familiar with the moorland above Haworth in West Yorkshire. This is the home of Ulvika Norwegian Forest Cats, and you may even see one meandering his way up and down the dry stone walls that divide the fields in this part of "God's Own County". Situated within 11 miles of Bradford, and within 40 minutes of Leeds, Harrogate,the Dales and East Lancashire, we are the only breeders of NFC's in West Yorkshire.

Our family of NFCs has grown from 1 to 7 in seven years. It all started with the arrival of Spike, Jardufae Morc Drommen, our large black and white neutered boy....he convinced us that there is something very special about NFCs. He was then joined by Zzoro Bono, our black smoke neutered boy, renowned for his liking for all foods seasoned with curry spices, who looks after his girls and herds stray kittens back to their Mum with the skill of a sheep dog. I started breeding when Blossom joined us, and I now have two other queens, Mistletoe and Holly (see below). Four years ago, we welcomed Moa's RH Freeman R Stephens to our home - renowned as a beautiful stud boy, he is now retired, and resides in our living room on his favourite blanket. The youngest of our Norwegians is Henri, Holly's son from her 2007 litter. He is amazingly loving and has spectacular ears!
If you would like to know more about all our Norwegians, you can read more on the pages "Queens" and Our Boys".

Here is Stephen, getting to know his great-grandson, Ulvika Apollo. He takes particular interest in litter-training the kittens, and can occasionally be found curled up in the kitten's bed, accompanied by three or four babies, snuggled up to him.
