KWILL is us - Katherine and Will. We live in Western New York State and have two to three litters of Norwegian Forest Cats kittens (wegies) each year. Our cats and kittens are registered in the CFA, the Cat Fanciers Association. We are members of the CFA Norwegian Forest Cat Breed Council - NFCBC and are breeder members of the Norwegian Forest Cat Fanciers Association (NFCFA). We enjoy participating in CFA shows where you will often find us on the weekend with our fellow Forest Cat exhibitors.

We are often asked why we became involved with Forest Cats; why this particular breed? There are a couple of reasons. First, having descended from Norwegian immigrants, we were curious when first learning about this breed in the early 1980's. It was the arrival of a stray cat on our doorstep that inspired us to acquire a Forest Cat. "Miss Priss" looked to us like a Norwegian Forest Cat and we eventually decided she should have a like companion - this time with a pedigree.
We are very grateful to several breeders who have been very generous with their time and knowlege: Keith Kimberlin (Kitzn), Jack and Penny Kopf (Penja), Carolyn and Bernie Zeller (Freyzoo), Lynn Forlano (Jotunheim), and Mary Mulrennan (Irlu).
The CFA Norwegian Forest Cat Breed Profile and Breed Article are excellent sources to learn more aboue this breed. In addition, the CFA Norwegian Forest Cat Breed Standard provides the particulars on cats being judged. We are delighted to work with new exhibitors - feel free to inquire about cats or kittens for show. On occasion we do have young adults or retired show cats available. We also participate in Norwegian Forest Cat Rescue and can provide information about available rescue cats.
Call or email us for further information.
