My girl! Quilas mom is our retired queen, Kerenza. Kerenza was a dream girl for me, my first high white cat. When Kerenza had her first litter, we sadly lost each baby. When the second litter came, I was terrified, however I knew I wanted to keep the perfect girl just in case we didn't get another litter from Kerenza. We had several we were able to evaluate but Quila was the best of the bunch and so she stayed!
Quila brings so much of our American lines in with a blend of European lines. Her features are the perfect mix of the two! She is a wonderful mom and loves her babies!
Behind the name: All of our cats names start with a K or hard C sound. When Kerenza had her litter, I was at work. I came home at 6:00 and walked in to our master bathroom to be greeted with kitten cries! My excitement turned to concern when the birthing box was empty. I turned the corner and found all of Kerenzas babies in the litter box with her! They were covered in pine shavings from the pellets and their cords were still attached to placentas which had wrapped all around each other. It was a bit chaotic but I jumped right in and got each baby separated and cleaned off. After we were done, I decided this batch needed to be named after different types of spirits as Kerenza sure had me ready for happy hour! While Quilas litter name was Gin, we kept the spirit theme with her official name and named her Tequila Sunrise, Quila for short!
