Nile Abyssinians
Our Cattery
In 1981 we introduced Blue Abys by importing Crownfields Abbai from the UK. In 1984 we imported the first American Blue male in Australia, the incomparable and irreplaceable Gold Dbl Gr Ch Lohrengel Barrow Bambi III. We subsequently imported additional American Abys, Tawny and Blue. The most recent was CCCA Gr Ch, Gold Dbl Gr Ch & (US) Gr Ch Zzaby's Pipe Dream, who came here in February 2001 from Karyn Dillard in Little Rock, AR, and has made a major impression on the Aby fancy in Australia and New Zealand.
We have always given other breeders full access to our imported and local lines.
The 2009 showing year was more or less shot to pieces by GK's pneumonia followed by a (successful!) heart bypass operation. But earlier in the year Gr Ch Osiris(V) Sioux City Sue, hadf several Best-in-Show wins and finished 4th in the top-5 Gr 3 Female Cats in NSW in 2009. She then went off the show circuit to incubate her first litter, to (many titles) Nile Phantom Of Home. The male from the litter, Nile Ghost Who Walks (aka "Junior"), got a few Best in Show wins himself, for new owners Ben White & Wendy Newton.

We have sent our Abys all around Australia, and also exported quite a few of them. Nile Abys and their descendants can thus be found in New Zealand, United States, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the UK, France, South Africa and Denmark. And they always arrive purring. Click on "Nile Abys Around the World" here or below to see how some of them are currently doing
