Dear Fellow Cat Lover:

My name is Toni Huff. A few years back, my husband, Paul, and I founded Gulfcats quite simply because we love animals, especially cats. We used to breed and raise horses, but found them impractical around the house. Our furniture was trampled. And, they left an awful mess in dining room.

Seriously, we did raise horses, but our love of pedigree cats took over. In particular, although pedigree cats have a reputation for being remote or aloof to humans, we especially loved the Tonkinese breed not only for their charming appearance, but their wonderful dispositions. 

After a short while Paul fell in love with the Japanese Bobtail breed and decided to make them a part of our own special cats. So now we have two breeds to love and cherish. Through this site, and links to other sites, we hope we will encourage you to make either a "Tonk" or a “JBT” a treasured and loved member of your family soon.

And finally, how about a Texas-style open invitation? If you ever need a vacation spot on laid back island with plenty of sunny beaches, Gulf sea breezes and the best Tonks and JBTs west of the Mississippi, why not visit Galveston Island? While you're here, we'd love to show you how we raise our Tonks and JBTs, and help you pick out the one that's just right for you!

Sincerely,
~ Toni Huff
