Twenty years go by faster than you think, filled with unforgettable cats, beautiful litters, lasting friendships, exciting shows, learning experiences, and countless everyday moments shared at home.
This timeline is a small walk through those years — Thank you to everyone who has been part of Noldor.

Our Cattery Is Registered
The beginning of a journey that would shape a big part of our lives.

First Cat Show
We brought a little white kitten to our very first show, and he turned out to be an extraordinary cat who earned his Junior Winner title in five consecutive shows without losing a single panel.
GIC Linn Skywalker Artemisa*ES JW was the one who truly sparked our passion for exhibitions.

First Noldor Litter Is Born
This was the moment we truly became breeders — when we first experienced the responsibility and emotion of watching tiny lives come into the world.

First Imported Cats Join Our Breeding Program
Until then, we had only bred with Spanish lines.
But every breeder eventually reaches the moment when new bloodlines become necessary to continue growing and learning.
NW SC S*Just Catnap’s Sander DVM DSM and NW PR GIC Aristo Limaz Meit Miller DVM were deeply loved and brought us immense pride during the many years they shared with us.
Later, we welcomed cats from other breeders and countries, bringing new lines, new hopes, and a fresh new energy to Noldor.

First Exported Noldor Cats
The Mallorca litter was full of beautiful fluffy kittens with wonderful temperaments. Although some Noldor cats had already joined nearby catteries, this was the first time our kittens travelled far from home — to Denmark (DK*Lindvig) and Hong Kong (HK*Futurperfect).

Our Son Is Born
The arrival of our son only brought more warmth into our home.
Growing up surrounded by cats taught him kindness, empathy, and respect — lessons only noble-hearted animals can truly give.
And for the kittens, it became the perfect socialization training, teaching them confidence, trust, and endless patience with children.

We Move to the Netherlands
Moving from Spain to the Netherlands with all our cats — and even a litter at the time — was a real adventure. But of course, they were always meant to be part of this new chapter among tulips and windmills.

20 Years of Noldor
Realising that we were about to celebrate twenty years of breeding became a turning point for us. It felt like the right moment to begin a new chapter — our son was older, we renewed our membership with a Dutch club, and started preparing to return to the show halls, which of course also meant welcoming new cats into both our home and our breeding program.

Back to the Show Halls — nearly 10 Years Later
After a long break from the show halls, we could not have hoped for a better return; our new young promise, Yaffa, attended her very first show with the best possible result.
She became the first new addition of this new era of Noldor… but hopefully not the last.
