Tinkertaylor Siamese
Lovingly bred Siamese & Oriental cats
GCCF-registered Siamese and Oriental kittens, raised with care in our Lancashire home since 2008. Healthy, well-socialised cats from health-tested parents.
Our cattery
A small, home-based Siamese & Oriental cattery in Lancashire
We’ve been breeding Siamese and Oriental cats since 2008 from our home in Burnley. Every kitten is born and raised underfoot — handled daily, socialised with family life, and ready to settle straight into their forever home.
Our approach
Healthy, happy kittens from carefully selected, health-tested parents. We breed for type, temperament and the affectionate, talkative personality the Siamese and Oriental are loved for. Every queen is hand-picked from lines we know and trust, mated only to studs whose health, temperament and type complement her own. Litters are small, planned years in advance, and every kitten is born and raised in the heart of our home — never in a separate cattery or pen. By the time a kitten leaves us they’re confident around people, used to dogs and family noise, and ready to settle quickly into their new home.
What sets us apart
Born and raised in our living room — never in a separate cattery. Kittens are well-socialised from day one with everyday family life.
GCCF registered, health screened, vaccinated, vet-checked and microchipped before they leave us. Insured for their first weeks at home.
Lifetime breeder support. We’re at the end of the phone for as long as you have your kitten — for questions, advice or just to share updates.
Why a Tinkertaylor kitten
Why families choose Tinkertaylor
Nearly two decades of careful, ethical breeding for healthy, affectionate Siamese and Oriental kittens that thrive in family homes.
Health-tested parents
All breeding cats are screened for the conditions known in the breeds. We’ll always show you the test results before you commit to a kitten.
Raised underfoot
Kittens grow up in our living room — used to children, dogs, the hoover, the doorbell and everyday family life from the start.
Full support, for life
We’re always at the end of the phone for questions, advice, or just to hear how your kitten’s getting on. You’re not on your own once they leave us.
Our cats
What we breed
We breed traditional, show-quality Siamese and Oriental cats in a range of colours, focusing on type, temperament and health above all.
Siamese
The classic pointed cat — seal, blue, chocolate and lilac point — with the famous deep blue eyes and chatty, devoted nature.
Orientals
The same elegant Siamese type in a rainbow of solid colours and patterns — Foreign Whites, blacks, chocolates, torties and more.

Stories from our kitten families
A few placeholder stories — Sharon will replace these with words from real Tinkertaylor families.
“We couldn’t be happier with our Tinkertaylor kitten. Sharon answered every question we had during the wait, and our little one came home perfectly socialised and full of personality from day one.”

“After waiting eighteen months for the right kitten, our boy from Tinkertaylor was worth every day. He’s confident, affectionate and slotted into family life as though he was always meant to be here.”

“Sharon is the kind of breeder you hope you’ll find. Knowledgeable, honest and genuinely cares where her kittens go. We still send photos and updates, and she still replies the same day.”
