Welcome to Thor’s Oak Ocicat Classics & Ocicats

Responsible breeders of Ocicat Classics (Aztecs) & Ocicats.

Our names are Monika & Owen, we breed Ocicat Classics and Ocicats. We live in the United Kingdom, in the deepest, darkest, depths of Thurrock, on the edge of the village of Aveley, with our Ocicat Classics (Aztecs) & Ocicats. We selected our Ocicat Classics (GCCF Aztec) and Ocicats from carefully selected lines that have no known genetic defects. As a result, we ensured our cats are as healthy as can be possible. All Thor’s Oak Kittens are all born in our bedroom and raised in our home.

We socialise all kittens with our other Queens and Neuters. This, consequently, ensures that Thor’s Oak Ocicat Classic and Ocicat kittens are all used to normal household activities and noises.
We aim to improve the genetic diversity of Ocicats and their Ocicat Classic brothers and sisters in the UK. Because of this aim, we asked Rosemary Caunter to breed us an (F1) queen. That queen was from her Abyssinian (Manuka) and Thunder. Furthermore, we are starting to work with international breeders, to import carefully selected healthy cats from abroad. Firstly we imported 2 cats from Russia, a black silver (ebony in the USA) spotted male and a cinnamon female as part of this aim. Also, we have imported a blue self (which is called solid in Europe and the USA) female from Czechia.

Showing Ocicat Classics & Ocicats

We began showing with GCCF almost as soon as we got our first two Ocicats, Tikari (our foundation queen) who was a tawny classic and Tambaa a fawn spotted neutered boy. Tikari was a bit crowd shy and didn’t like being on the “show bench” Tambaa, however, was a bit of a Divo who loved the attention and made it to Grand Premier.

Tikari’s firstborn male Sonnüng was a large Chocolate Silver Classic who really loved being shown and was made the First-Ever GCCF Imperial Grand Champion, Ocicat Classic.

We have had regular success in shows since then.
