About Us...
Marechal Cattery
Marechal Cattery is a veterinary inspected and certified, family owned
cattery in West Virginia. Currently we are breeding Bengal, Chausie, Safari and
Savannah cats. We take pride in finding loving homes for our babies. We go to
great lengths and expense to make sure your kitten is healthy, well socialized
and ready to join your family when it leaves ours.
Our History
Sheryl Koontz was raised around numerous animals and also worked for a
veterinarian for over 20 years. She has bred and trained dogs throughout her
lifetime and currently is breeding working line German Shepherds. Sheryl holds a
Class 2 Fish and Wildlife Permit from the state of Florida for exotic animals,
which requires 1000 hours of hands on experience for the particular type of
animal, in this case it is for Serval cats.
We fell in love with the hybrid cats after adopting a Bengal cat from a local
shelter years ago. It was a natural progression for us to move to the breeding
of these incredible animals once our hearts were stolen.
Future Goals
Our plans for the future are aimed at bringing the cats we breed to the
Championship status in The International Cat Association.
The Chausies are getting close and showing our cats over the next two years will
be key in the breed achieving that goal.
Bengals are already at that level in TICA and in the ACFA the silver Bengal has
just been accepted. Beginning next May we can show our silvers in the
Championship class in ACFA.
The Savannah's are on the rise in the show halls. We have a way to go with them
still but we can now show our 3rd generation cats in the halls, but they cannot
be shown for Championship.
The newest breed is the Safari. Very few of them exist at this time and we are
very proud and excited to have just had our first F2 kitten born. This breed
will take years to develop but it is our goal to be one of the founding
developers of the breed.
