Tonkinese Cat Rescue

We help people who have a life style change and can no longer care for their Tonkinese cats, if you purchased a pedigreed Tonkinese from a TBA member. We work with breeders to help solve these rehoming problems. Tonkinese are not usually available for immediate adoption, but we keep a list of people interested when rehoming situations become available.

Our goal is that no pedigreed Tonkinese should end up abandoned or in a shelter. Our national coordinator is the TBA president Sue Robbins Opurra@aol.com who can assist with contact information.

Tonkinese PhotoTonkinese Kittens

Do you want a Tonkinese kitten? Below is a partial list of Tonkinese breeders; some breeders choose not to be listed on the web. If no breeder is shown in your area, please contact the TBA secretary Sue Robbins Opurra@aol.com to see if there is one in your area. You may also want to visit a CFA cat show where you can meet breeders in person. See the CFA Cat Show Schedule for one in your area.

Tonkinese PhotoTonkinese Youngsters and Adults

Breeders may have adoptable adults. They may be retired from breeding or from a show career. These beloved cats may no longer be happy in a cattery. They may be looking for a home with fewer cats competing for attention. They are a good option for someone who wants a more settled cat as versed to a young kitten.  Usually they are priced less than a kitten, but specifics are up to the individual breeder. Many breeders listed below may have retired adults.

Retired Breeders:

Some times cat buyers loose track of their breeder and wish to contact them. Some retired breeders are listed at the bottom. If you can not find them in this list, contact the TBA secretary Claire Dubit cdubit@comcast.net for assistance with contact information.

 

Tonkinese Breeders

Warning: Any TBA member can be listed below. TBA does not police breeders and TBA is not responsible for these referrals.   Any pet health guarantees are between you and the breeder you select. Disputes may need to be resolved in court as a contract issue. This is not to alarm you, but buyers should make a careful choice as with any other purchase. Good luck finding the right Tonkinese cat(s) for you!

Warning: TBA is a CFA club, but there is no requirement that breeders listed here will have kittens able to be registered with CFA and/or that a breeder will include papers with their sale. It is up to you, the buyer, to decide if you want papers and to make sure it is part of the sale.

TBA has breeder-members in the United States, Canada, Japan as well as Retired Breeders, Many Retired Breeders enjoy discussing how to select a pet and introduce them to the new home and perhpas other pets.

For Breeders:

Breeders need to specifically request a listing and provide the details for each field. This is not automatic. Any additions, deletions, or changes should be sent to Nacy Mikita: nmikita@cox.net This is not connected to the roster database.
