  • The Story of Blue Bell: a Virtual Tour Through Space & Time by Lynette Brasfield Blue Bell
    the Blue Bell FOUNDATION FOR CATS ENSURING YOUR CAT’S FUTURE The Story of Blue Bell: A Virtual Tour Through Space & Time By Lynette Brasfield Blue Bell... A Unique and Special Place n a turbulent and chaotic world, it is often difficult to find a place of peace and tranquility — Ia sanctuary rich with the sights and sounds of nature in all its glory. Nestled in the majestic foothills of Laguna Canyon, the Blue Bell Foundation for Cats is just such a place. Home to senior cats whose owners can no longer care for them, Blue Bell nurtures its feline residents and enriches the special people that care for them. Started more than 30 years ago by Bertha Yergat and sustained by Susan and John Hamil, there are endless stories to be told about its evolution, resident cats, dedicated staff and volunteers and its historical ties to Laguna Beach. The Story of Blue Bell is a virtual tour that transports you on a wondrous ride through space and time. We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we have. Susan Hamil Jeff Zakaryan Chairwoman of the Board of Directors Chairman of the Advisory Board Blue Bell … a microcosm of the quirkiness, Foundation glorious wild flowers, sunny climate, for Cats is a and quixotic characters that make this Quintessentially coastal village such a special place Lagunan – not to mention the bobcats that Phenomenon… roam its surrounding 24,000 acres of wilderness. And, just like Laguna, Blue Bell has faced a few disasters, but has always emerged resilient and ready for new challenges in a changing world.

Introduction This breeding policy accompanies and supplements the Manx Registration Policy and Standard of Points and the GCCF general breeding policy and should be read in conjunction with those documents. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to ensure breeders observe what is considered “best practice” in breeding the Manx cat. The over-riding objective, as with all breeds, is to produce quality, healthy cats with good type and to continue to improve the Manx cat standard. The overall aims of the breeding policy areas are as follows: a) To promote the breeding of healthy Manx cats with sound conformation, good temperament and free from any defects known to be heritable traits. b) To encourage the breeding of Manx which conform as closely as possible to the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) Standard of Points (SOP). c) To further the health, welfare and care of Manx Cats at all times, in keeping with their role as domesticated companion cats with their unique “dog-like” personality.
