About the breeder
A small cattery, a lifelong commitment to the breed.
I met my first Scottish Fold — a quiet, owl-eyed boy named Tarn — while volunteering at a feline rescue in 2010. He stayed close, watched everything, and somehow always knew when someone needed his company.
I spent the next three years learning everything I could about the breed before I considered breeding my own line.In 2013 I welcomed our foundation queen, Heather, from a respected breeder in Scotland.
From the start, I knew I wanted to do this differently: very few litters, every cat health-tested, every pairing intentional, and every adopter treated like a long-term partner in their kitten's life.Today, Highland Folds remains a small home-based cattery.
I produce two to three planned litters per year, work alongside our feline veterinarian on every decision, and stay in touch with families for the lifetime of every kitten we place.— Emma Sinclair, Highland Folds

Our philosophy:
Responsible breeding, in plain terms.
Two to three planned litters per year. Every kitten gets time, hands, and individual attention.
Genetic responsibility
We only pair fold cats with straight-eared cats. Health testing comes before any pairing decision.
Welfare-first
Cats are family. Our queens retire from breeding by age six and stay with us as beloved companions.
Socialization
Kittens are raised underfoot in the heart of our home — not in cages.
