Nothin Cuter Than This

Why a Minskin

Affectionate and entertaining, Minskins are members of a rare cat breed known for their intelligence, playfulness and love for people, children and other household pets.

Minskins are a cat-lover’s dream — they’ll greet you at the door when you get home, play parkour on your furniture to reach their desired destination, and then rest with you on the couch, snuggled up in your lap.

Minskins have a healthy constitution and don’t require brushing. With hypoallergenic coats, they’re the perfect pet for people with allergies.

Why Cat Skills Cattery

Our cats and kittens are never put in cages; they sleep with us, eat with us and play with us every day. Honestly, they’re always underfoot — and that’s why Cat Skills Cattery kitties are not just well adjusted, they’re the reason we call cats man’s best friend.

All of our kittens are fed an exclusively raw diet. This provides them with the nutrition their digestive system was designed to consume, giving them the healthiest possible start to their lives. We are here to help guide you through that process, and provide you with an exclusive 20%-off coupon on your first food purchase. Proper nutrition, paired with the way we raise our kittens — that’s why there’s truly no Minskin cattery like Cat Skills Cattery.

In fact, unlike the bigger, busier catteries, we offer lifetime support to all our adoptive families, always answer questions within 24 hours, and offer on-call support for emergencies. Plus, if we don’t know an answer, we have mentors who do.

We cannot recommend Cat Skills Cattery enough! After over a year-long search for the most reputable, ethical and loving breeder, we found Jennifer Melendez — and she exceeded every expectation. She raises her Minskins in her family home, surrounded by love and young children, so all the Cat Skills Cattery kittens are exceptionally well-socialized, making the transition to their forever homes effortless. Throughout our process, Jennifer kept us updated with photos and videos multiple times a week, allowing us to watch our kitten grow before we even brought him home. And then there’s Hugo! He is truly magical — a perfect example of the Minskin breed standard and the most affectionate, well-adjusted kitten we could have ever hoped for. We’re already on the waitlist for Hugo’s brother or sister. So if you’re adopting a minikin kitten, look no further than Cat Skills Cattery.

“Jennifer is the best breeder I have ever interacted with. Her passion for ethical breeding, sharing the Minskin breed and health and wellbeing of her cats and kittens is unmatched. She goes above and beyond for her adopters too. The entire process was an absolute pleasure. Jennifer is wonderful to talk to and she has so much knowledge to share. I am grateful to have had her guidance through this process and am comforted knowing she will always be there throughout the life of my kitten. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“I honestly can’t say enough great things about Jenn as a breeder and about her cats. If you talk to her personally, it won’t take long to see she is fully invested in the health and well-being of all her cats and kittens. From genetic/heart testing, to raw diets, to the love and care her family gives each and every kitten she has in her home, the list of great things she’s doing goes on and on. Her kittens are gorgeous (pictures don’t capture how striking they really are). Also, their personalities are unmatched, and I’ve had many cats over the years since I was a child. I had the pleasure of being able to go to her home and see the loving environment they are raised in which makes a huge difference. Her cats and kittens greeted me at the door! I will never get another breed of cat other than a minkskin and I wouldn’t get one from anyone else other than Jenn. She’s a diamond in the rough literally!”

— Andrea Drummond (Cosmo)
“We just adopted our little boy from Jennifer and she was nothing short of amazing to work with! After speaking with her just once you really got a feel for how much she cares about each and every one of her cats and kittens. She is also so responsive with any questions or concerns that you may have. I highly recommend working with her if you want the best treatment and of course the cutest kittens!“
