About

Sharon and Chris — the people behind Tinkertaylor

We are Sharon and Chris Taylor of Tinkertaylor Siamese. Based in Lancashire at the heart of the Pennines, located on the edge of Burnley overlooking the open countryside. We have been breeding Siamese and Oriental cats since 2008 and obtaining our GCCF prefix in 2012. Our cats are born and raised with our love and care in our home. They are well socialised and used to all the usual household activities. We take our time to select the best breeding girls and boys so that all our babies are the happiest healthiest babies possible. Girls live in our home and live their best lives as pampered fur babies whilst boys live in our purpose built stud quarters. Each boy having his own insulated and heated accommodation with 24 hours CCTV to ensure they are happy and healthy.

Built on health, temperament and care

Three principles run through everything we do at Tinkertaylor.

Signs

Health-tested parents

Every queen and stud is screened for the conditions known in the breeds. We share test results openly so you know exactly what your kitten comes from.

Raised underfoot

Litters grow up in the heart of our home, surrounded by everyday family life. Kittens leave us confident, sociable, and ready to settle quickly.

Show-quality type

We breed for the elegant lines and temperament the Siamese and Oriental are loved for, and take part in GCCF shows to keep our lines honest.

Lifetime support

Buying a kitten from us isn’t the end of the conversation. We stay in touch with every family — for advice, photos, or just a catch-up.

Careful breeding, calm beginnings

Every litter is planned months in advance, with each pairing chosen for health, temperament and type.

1

Plan the pairing

We choose each pairing carefully, lining up health-tested queens and studs whose lines complement one another.

Welcome the litter

Kittens are born and raised in our living room, handled gently from day one and watched closely by us and the vet.

3

Match to homes

Families on the waiting list are introduced to kittens as they grow, and we match each kitten to the home that suits them best.

Home, with support

Kittens leave us at around 13 weeks fully vaccinated, microchipped, GCCF registered and insured, with our lifetime breeder support behind them.
