~ Cattery Policies ~
This is a basic-friendly cattery – cats are studded and sold for $100 or $150.
Males are put at public stud upon receiving their Championship title.
Unfinished males will only be placed at stud if asked via email.
Kitten reservations will be taken for gender only as I cannot guarantee anything regarding specific litters or SOP.
There are no strings attached on any cat bought from Tarnished Halo.
Feel free to email me with any questions you might have.

~ About me ~
I’m 31 & married to a US Marine [inactive]. We currently live in SC with our 10-year-old Lab-mix, Dakota, and 7-year-old black tabby, Scooter.
When I can tear myself away from rehashing my poetry and polishing books for possible publication, I’m looking into graduate schools for my MA in Psychology with plans to obtain an Associates in Animal Behavior/Science. My goal is to be a therapist for autistic children.
