About us
Our dream of breeding began on the Ides 2000s with a beautiful Oriental Short Hair cat named Yanko. Our friend Cleber Delázari - Bungalow Cattery - gave me Yanko, born in 1997, and I was very happy and honored to be able to share my life with that absolutely fantastic cat ...
Yanko was a cat with such an importance in my life that the name of our Cattery, "By Yanko", was given in the honor of him, my beautiful and beloved Yanko, a very special cat for me and for those who had the opportunity to know him.

In mid 2010, there were practically no more Oriental cat breeders in Brazil and, therefore, we decided that we would breed OSH cats as a "Small home cattery". Then we decided then to studyin depth the characteristics of Oriental Short Hair and Siamese breeds as well as studying the best breeders and works done in Europe, Russia, the USA and Canada.
Initially, in 2012, we got associated with TICA (The International Cat Association), as the Cattery was registered with the name "YankoOrientals" and later, in 2013, we got associated with the CFA (The Cat Fancier's Association) in which our Cattery was definitely recorded as the denomination "By Yanko" . The cattery "By Yanko" was also associated with FIFe (Fédération Internationale Féline) in 2015 through the AGM (Associação do Gato Mineiro).
Oriental and Siamese cats are extremely elegant, communicative and sociable cats. The cattery By Yanko sought to acquire the best available cats, working only with the best known strains combining thus European and Russian lines, our favorite ones to start with.

Located near the Serra do Curral in a prime area in the southern zone in the beautiful city of Belo Horizonte, in Minas Gerais - Brazil, all our cats are raised by hand, with all the love, affection, attention and care needed since the day they are born. We aim this way, ensure a sociable cat, well adjusted and with no behavioral problems. This insures a friendly, well adjusted and basically trained grown up pet.
Our cats are real family members, with free access throughout the house, sleeping in the beds and on sofas ... our kittens are healthy and great cats for show, breeding and companion (pet cats).
Concerned about the sanitary control and the health of our cats, our Cattery does not offer stud service or send our females out to be bred.
Regarding the health of our cats, we have excellent veterinaries and highly experienced and experts in cats, so that from 12-16 weeks of age our kittens are ready to go to their new and forever home and our kittens will be well socialized, vaccinated and wormed.
Adopting and supporting the responsible ownership of animals, all our "pet" kittens are already neutered/spayed before being delivered to their new guardians. We send pet kittens throughout Brazil and abroad, and breeding quality cats are sold only abroad to qualified catteries, to ethical breeders.
We`d like to thank our friends and breeders Svetlana Lokteva, Anneli Nummelin, Julia Klueva and Natalya Botvineva, who believed in our work and trusted real gems to our cattery, helping our dream of breeding come true.
We also thank you for visiting our site, inviting you to always contact us when necessary.
