I am now devoting my
time to the Kitty Angels foundation...
"When Kitty Angels
therapy cat arrive at a facility they have no
prejudicial barriers to patients or clients who may
be physically unattractive, missing limbs or
wheelchair-bound. They purr or place their heads in
the person's lap indiscriminately, regardless of
appearance, language, impairment or physical
disability"
Our most recent work
is with Kitty Angel Foundation, founded by Mary
Alexander. It's the only foundation of
it's kind solely working and training with cats.

About Blue-Gem
Siamese Cat Breeders...
I
have 20 plus years experience in breeding
in the dog and cat fancy. Small hobby breeder with just
two breeding queens.
I
love the Siamese cat, and we do
everything possible to leave a
positive mark, breeding for the betterment
of the Siamese breed. I believe in breeding
from sound healthy foundations.
We
focus primarily on preserving and improving
the health of Siamese bloodlines. Carefully
researching to find lines that are pure,
sound and healthy, and work to ensure vigor
and health.
I began breeding Siamese in early 1990. Currently we
are enjoying showing and exhibiting our Siamese in the
cat fancy with the goals of producing sound well
balanced healthy cats. Coming from a background of
breeding working dogs, balance, form and function has
always been my mainstay in my breeding program. This
philosophy holds true for our cats as well.
My
goal
is never to see how many kittens we can produce or how
many champions we can have our name on, but to produce a
sound well-balanced healthy cat. It's always been our
goal.
Convo? Yes,
let's speak Siamese!

We started
our pet therapy work with Promise teaching children
safety and respect for animals in schools including a
exhibit the
Boston
Children's Museum.
Our little program that started almost 20 years ago now
touches the lives of children worldwide.
Coastie, the Coast Guard Safety Dog…
 The story of Coastie starts with our pet Mastiff a registered therapy dog we had named Promise.
Promise had an injury as a puppy and I was told she would never be able to show - but I knew there is much more to a dog than any show title and I had to find what that was.
I personally trained Promise to earn her Canine Good Citizen Test (CGC certification) and (TDI certification) with Therapy Dog International, Inc.
We started visiting nursing homes and we met with much
enthusiasm by the residents. Still looking and thinking of ways to share with the world the great gift our dog had, we came up with a educational safety program which was devised to help keep kids safe through the use of the Promise (aka Coastie) and a new coloring book. The program became a big hit and was eventually picked up by the Coast Guard and the Coastie Coloring Books are now available worldwide - just go
to download a copy.
The
program was also introduced at the Boston Children's museum as part of the museum's "Boats Afloat" exhibit. Promise never did earn her Champion title from the AKC, but she did earn the love and respect of everyone who knew her and she taught me so much about life. Promise is no longer with us. She has passed over the rainbow bridge into doggie heaven and we still miss her very much.

USGC go here.
