Beautymus Cattery / Singapura kittens / Feline Infectious Peritonitis - Beware of any Singapura breeders with Beautymus Cattery blood in their lines. Siler City North Carolina
This past month, my sweet 8-month young Singapura kitten had to be put down due to advanced Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). With the tests that were conducted, there was absolutely no doubt that it was FIP. n my struggles to cope with her situation, I searched for "Singapura" and this fatal disease on the internet, and I came up with these reports on this website. It was with great pain that I read the three submissions, and I was shocked to learn that these victim families shared a common denominator with me - my kittens' father is from the Beautymus Cattery. Upon learning this, I was compelled to advise my skilled and experienced breeder who denied prior knowledge of the family health history of FIP. I share in the grief experienced by these brave souls who submitted their posts - the loss is absolutely heartbreaking.

My husband and I purchased two healthy and wonderful singapura kittens from Karen Hill one year apart. We were very happy with the health of the kittens. I visited her cattery and was very impressed. Sometimes things just happen. Sometimes the unexpected happen. I found Karen to be a very good person to deal with and would in fact purchase another singapura from her. I do not beleive that she would intentionally do anything to breed a sick kitten.

I am so sorry that this has happenend to you or anyone. We have since placed our male
and the female that this kitten came from in a pet home. Please understand that the Singapura
cat has the most comprimised immune system that there is in cat world. That is why there are
only 7 of us that still breed this lovely cat. The rest of the folks that used to breed them gave up
because of the many problems that comes up in this breed. I will not give up on this breed I don't want
it to die out. If there is ever a problem with a kitten I will give your money back or I will replace the
kitten. I know that does not help with the loss of your beloved cat however.
Regards, Karen
