Kari Ochi Cattery reviews
Charisma — Francine, Canada: “Your cattery is the best… you choose great parents which produce great cats. I couldn’t be happier with my Charisma Kari Ochi — she is beautiful, healthy (after more than 4 years) and so intelligent! Thank you again for her!!! … I will always follow you, you are dedicated and courageous people, I admire you. And your graduates are beautiful! Charisma is a beauty and so affectionate, so bright — she understands what I ask of her, she comes right away when I call her, she communicates with me and we understand each other perfectly. It was my best decision to have chosen her after several months of searching for a breeder, even if you were so far away. Thank you for being who you are as a person and as a professional breeder. Rest assured I take great care of Charisma, who is living with my 2 other cats — a black Persian female and a blue point Himalayan female 🙂 She is very happy and healthy.”
Faraon — Anna · ANNOVA cattery, Portugal: “There is a boy at home I can’t wait to watch grow up and become one of the future studs of our ANNOVA cattery 🖤 It was love at first sight, even through a simple photo! All thanks to the professionalism and dedication of Elena Kari Ochi, to whom I want to say a very special thank you. Not only did they trust me with this boy’s future — they made a point of delivering him personally into my hands. A gesture that, sadly, is not so common and says a lot about the love, care and respect they have for their animals. As for the star of this story… I think his expression speaks for itself! 😂 A real cat with personality, attitude and his own opinion about everything around him. And I am completely in love! 🖤🐾”
Romantic — Angela, USA: “We are home and he is exploring his new space. … Vet visit went well. He is just such a stunning boy. I am so in love with him already. So playful and friendly. Thank you so much for trusting me with him. He is wonderful!! ❤️”
Goliath — Crystal, USA: “He has grown up so much! Everyone is shed out a bit right now from summer time. Looking forward to the thick beautiful fur they have in winter to come back.”
Yamakasi — Cloe, Malaysia: “Hi Elena 👋 Yama is doing well! We did show him, and he eventually obtained his Champion title with WCF. 😊”
Oscar — Lurdes, Portugal: “Thank you for bringing my boy to me! Later on I will find him a companion to play with. … He is a sweetheart! Still a little scared, but he has already eaten. My husband petted him and he lay quietly on the bed, checking everything out. Elena, you have a very generous heart. God bless you — and a safe trip home to your husband. ✈️❤️”
Francisco — Barbara, Italy: “Thank you, Elena! Happy Holidays to you and all your loved ones. Thank you 💙 he is wonderful 💙 … Hi, we made Best in Variety and Nomination! 😊 … Expo Piazzola sul Brenta, October 2026: IC Francisco Kari Ochi takes his last CAGCIB and becomes Grand International Champion! 🏆”
Ronaldo — Alice, Italy: “A wonderful cat! Thank you for giving him to us ❤️ … Thank you so much, Elena! I hope you are all well — dogs, cats and you too! Ronaldo is a wonderful cat in character too — very well balanced ☺️ … I wish you all the best in the world, because we have seen the love you have for these babies! A hug to you too ❤️”
Harrison — Jennifer, USA: “Thank you, Elena, for letting me see all of the boys. They are all very handsome. I can’t wait to meet my beautiful Harrison in person. I also want to thank you for giving me the option to change my mind and choose a different boy if I wanted to. Most breeders wouldn’t do that. I look forward to getting a female from you in the future. … Yay, tomorrow the magic happens — my beautiful boy will be home 💜 I’m so excited I didn’t sleep all night 🤣 … I’m very pleased with my purchase. I’m very excited to watch him grow. I promise you he will be spoiled like the king he is 👑 … Harrison is doing so good. He is the most loving sweet boy. I have a very secure stroller and I take him with me when I go on walks, and everyone stops me to look at him and admire him 💜 He is the sweetest boy. Thank you again for trusting me with him. 💜”
Tizian — Ramona, Italy: “I met Elena a few years ago and found wonderful people and beautiful cats. My Tizian is gorgeous and so sweet. A lovely friendship was born that continues to this day — thank you, Elena ❤️”
