Welcome to the Internet home of Linara Exotics.

My name is Linda... My daughter is Cara....and together we are Team Linara.

In fact, our cattery name was created from a combination of our two first names.

About Us

I live with my husband, Jim, in Heber Springs, Arkansas on the Little Red River. We are both recently retired which gives us lots of time to devote to our kitty-kids.

Cara and her two sons, Cain and Mitchell, live an hour away in Russellville, Arkansas where Cara is attending College.

Cara and I have found that raising our Exotics in two separate households works very well for us. Our kittens have the advantage of being raised with Cara's two young boys and their 24 pound neutered cat, Tippy... and also spending time with my three Chihuahuas, Batman, Kati and Jill, and their "big sister"
Sandy Ann, our 13 year old collie.

Kittens are born in the house. When they are ready to be weaned they join the breeding males in the cattery. The kittens quickly adjust to life in the cattery and we know their fathers enjoy their company as well.

Whether a pet or a show cat, we feel this gives the kittens a wonderful start to life. By the time the kittens leave Linara they are accustomed to many different situations. These experiences help them adapt more easily to being a part of a loving family in their new home.

Our Goal

We are a small cattery and only produce a couple of litters a year. We wish to remain small as we feel it helps our cats be healthier and allows us to give them more individual attention.

We want the name Linara to stand for integrity and quality. We want to produce type, personality and health in our kittens... and along the way we want to have fun and to feel pride in what we are doing.

Our Breeding Program

At this time Linara has Exotics exclusively.

The lines behind our foundation cats include Vinec, Kikicat, Grandaries, Joyville, Lynges, Zoticats, Bryn Mawr, Joyville, Becton and LionHouse, just to name a few.

We are working with Bi-Colors, Calicos, Vans, Smokes, Tabbies and an occasional solid.

We are a PKD scanning cattery. Parents of our breeding cats have all been scanned negative for PKD.
