CFA recognizes Timber Lake Tiger!

Breaking News:

The CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association) has recently recognized a new and very rare breed of cat. While traveling through the Midwest, several members of this organization happened upon an exceptional cat and voted unanimously to approve its inclusion on their list of recognized cat breeds. Because of the location where this animal was first discovered, the CFA has named it the Timber Lake Tiger. Please read the notes below for the official description of this incredible cat.

Breed Profile:

The origin of the Timber Lake Tiger is thought to be the area surrounding Timber Lake in Huntington County Indiana. Mature cats breed in the surrounding woods in the winter. The females retreat under the campers that surround the lake in mid to late March to give birth to their young.

The original female was captured, named CTL (Camp Timber Lake), and given a good home, but not before she gave birth to two sturdy males who exemplify the perfect standard for this breed.

Breed Standard

General: The general appearance of this breed is one of a large, soft and stocky cat.

Eyes: Large, round and golden-yellow.

Body: The body must be large with the belly hanging well beneath it. Males must weigh a minimum of 13 pounds with a 15 pound male scoring higher during judging. A Timber Lake Tiger without a large belly that jiggles when it walks will be disqualified.

Additional information: Timber Lake Tigers are unique in that the CFA will not allow them to be sold or commercially bred. All Timber Lake Tigers are certified by the adoption agency as being first-generation and having been born in the wild at Timber Lake. They come with a guarantee to arrive at your home with a combination of worms and fleas. When adopted at 6-8 weeks of age, Timber Lake Tigers are easily domesticated and make life-long, loving companions.

For maximum enjoyment, people considering adopting Timber Lake Tiger cats or kittens are encouraged to adopt them in pairs.

Adopting families must agree to have their Timber Lake Tiger cat or kitten neutered.
