The cattery where the Cheetoh began.
Carol Drymon set out in 2001 to breed a cat with the look of a wild jungle cat and the temperament of a family pet. She crossed the Bengal, for its spotted coat, with the Ocicat, for its easygoing, people-loving nature. The first Cheetoh litter was born here in 2003.

About the Cheetoh
The Cheetoh looks wild, but it’s a fully domestic cat — its only wild ancestry is the distant Asian leopard cat behind the Bengal side of the family. TICA recognized it as an experimental breed in 2004, and it’s still rare, with only a small number of breeders.
Appearance
Large and muscular, with a short, plush spotted coat. Males commonly reach 15 to 22 pounds.
Social
A breed known for its affectionate, outgoing nature. Expect a cat that wants to be part of the household, not one that hides from it.
Smart and busy
Cheetohs are known for their intelligence and energy, and they thrive on play, interaction, and time with their people.
Our cats
The queens and kings behind our current litters.
Mattis
Mattis passed in September 2026. He was a deeply loved king here at Wind Haven, and he is missed every day.
His final litter, with Juliet, was born May 8, 2026, and one girl from it is still available. He lives on in his kittens.
Available kittens
Each kitten is identified by the colored ear marker or flower you’ll see in their photos. Mention it when you get in touch so we know which kitten you’re asking about.
All kittens go home at 12 weeks old, after all vaccinations and preventive wormings.
