Welcome to TerreGale!

I would like to take a moment to tell you a bit about us.  TerreGale consists of Jeremiah Stennett and Jennifer Herr.  We are both animal lovers and have been for life.  We live in a small town in the Capital District of New York.

TerreGale is dedicated to breeding and showing purebred animals.  In addition to our cats we breed and show AKC registered Boxers.  Animals are a major part of our home and our lives and we would not change any part of that. We only have 3 dogs at any given time and our cats learn to get along great with them which makes them better suited to a family that may have a dog. Since they have already been exposed to dogs here the transition into the new home is easier.

With our American Curls we are dedicated to the promotion of this unique and rare breed of cats along with improving the overall health and quality of the breed.  Curls have been called the “Peter Pan” of the cat world due to their kitten like behavior through their entire lives.  This and their lovely, unique ears attracted us to the breed.

In addition to our American Curls and our great love for them we are helping to promote a new breed of cat called the Elf. The Elf is a hairless cat that has curled ears and is a hybrid between a Sphynx and an American Curl. We do not have any Elf cats here at TerreGale however this is a breed that we truly want to see succeed. Elf cats are currently recognized as Experimental with TICA and are recognized for full registration with the Rare and Exotic Feline Registry (REFR). Please feel free to contact us for more information on these wonderful cats, we would be delighted to discuss them with you.
