More About Teddy

Meet Teddy

As our first breeding king, Teddy has held a special place in our hearts since he joined us in 2022. His classic teddy-bear look and trusting temperament helped shape our breeding program.

In daily life, Teddy is calm, gentle and affectionate. When we approach him, he often lies down for belly rubs. He is still playful as an adult and enjoys spending time with people and his feline companions, though he is less easygoing around other intact males.
