Artworkz is a Missouri State Licensed CFA Cattery of Excellence, raising Doll face Himalayan and Exotic Kittens for the past 12 years. As we specialize raising the best and healthiest pet kitten possible, we do not sell breeding rights for our kittens.
A Bit About Me... My name is Rosemary Clark. My husband, Oscar and I, live in Stockton, a small town half way between Kansas City and Branson , Missouri . Married since 1964, Oscar and I have been blessed with a son, two daughters, and three grandsons. I have had several different careers over the years. It has been as varied as computer drafting, many years as a wedding and anniversary cake decorator, and at the same time, bookkeeping, and helping to design and draw building plans for Oscar's construction business. I am also an artist, teaching myself to draw and paint around the age of nine. My Cattery Name My two passions in life, (after being a Christian and my family of course), are raising kittens and my artwork. I'm not sure if I could put one above the other. I chose the name of my cattery because of my love of art and nature, believing all of nature is ‘God's Artwork'. Of course, my favorite of nature's art works are our feline friends, and another of my favorites is the butterfly, which (I read somewhere once), is the perfect symbol of becoming a brand new creature in Christ. That is why I chose my painting of the kitten playing with the butterflies as perfect for my web design.
The Beginning... My love of raising kittens began around age eight, when our family outdoor longhair silver tabby had her first litter of kittens. Each summer, I would take care of her kittens and find homes for them, loving every minute of it. So, by the time I graduated high school and married, raising kittens was very much a love of my life. When my family was nearly raised, along with a few puppies and kittens along the way, I began to remember how much I'd wanted a purebred cat when I was growing up. So in1995 Toasty Marshmallow Fluff, a doll face seal point female, came to live with us, and some of the cats I have now are her great grandchildren. I purchased a male Himalayan for my Mother after she lost her cat, and my children and I enjoyed raising a litter of kittens each year, keeping a couple of females in a few years. In 1999, after a few other additions to our cat family, my youngest daughter and I fell in love with, and became owners of, a wonderful silver tabby exotic shorthair male kitten, and we are grateful to Jan Rook, Springfield, MO for Jada Hi- Ho Sill-ver of Artworkz, who became the foundation of our exotics before retiring to his forever pet home in 2007. Currently... Our current male, Paw Prints Cloud Nine of Artworkz, is a white CPC carrying chocolate and lilac. We're very thankful to Deanna Proctor, Cincinnati , OH for letting him become a part of our cat family. He's a dream…… gorgeous, very playful, loves everyone, and is such a baby, just what I want to be passed on to our kittens.
