Hopscotch Abyssinians

About us


We are a small cattery breeding only Abyssinian cats. We are focusing on ruddy Abyssinians and are committed to producing quality Abyssinians for approved homes. Our goal as breeders is to improve this breed not just aesthetically but also physically - a cat should not just be beautiful but should live a long healthy life as well. We care about the health of our cats and appreciate any news of how the kittens we produce are doing throughout their lives.

We are located in Mission, BC, Canada. Mission is located in the southwest corner of BC, approximately 1 hour 20 min east of Vancouver.

At our previous home in Maple Ridge we built an outdoor run where the cats could enjoy the outdoors safely. Here is Score perching over a catnip plant on her first time out in the kitty run. She had a great time playing outside in this safe environment. In our new home in Mission we are looking into a cat proof fence for the back yard instead of constructing a run. We will be sure to mention how we make out with this as it is a great alternative for those who wish their kitties to have some outdoor time but do not want to leash train. Please note that Abys are not suitable for free-roaming outdoors. There are many hazards that face cats that are allowed outdoors & due to their nature Abys are much more likely to get into trouble than the average housecat.


In addition to our abys, we have 2 neuter DSH - or as I like to think of them - SPCA Specials! These guys are a big part of our lives and here is their spot on our site. Striker's job is to make sure we get up good and early for the morning feeding - he starts work around 4am! He is pictured on the left resting up so he'll have lots of energy for waking us up later. Molson has decided he likes it when there are kittens around - lots of yummy kitten food available and someone is always ready to play.


Also, we have 3 dogs: 2 Australian shepherds and a border collie. Our border collie, George, is obsessed with the Abys and spends just about every waking moment staring at the cats. He's been known to stare unmoving at Daisy for over an hour while she naps. Our Aussies are Chipper & Pride. Pride is a retired show dog & he is a champion. Chipper has been training in agility & has recently started trialling. She is very enthusiastic & loves to play agility. Here is a picture of Chipper and Daisy sharing the couch.
