I would like to take a moment to tell you a bit about us. TerreGale is the work of myself (Jennifer) and it is definately a labor of love. I have been an animal lover my entire life and I have always wanted to work with animals in one way or another. As an young adult I fell in love with cats and cat shows and welcomed a Javanese boy into my home. He got the whole ball rolling and in a couple years with the help of Jeremiah Stennett decided to change focus to our beloved American Curls.

We live in North Carolina in the Winston-Salem area. We have just relocated here from the Capital District in New York and are already loving our new home. We needed a bigger place as did the cats and it was definately a positive move and is bringing our cattery forward in a positive manner.

We at TerreGale also own 2 wonderful boxers and participate in the conformation ring and soon to be obedience ring with them.  The cats learn from a young age to love the dogs and the dogs love them back in return.  Many nights I can be found cuddled up on the sofa with both dogs and any number of cats on my lap sound asleep together.

We are very dedicated to our American Curls and through our breeding program we hope to improve upon the overall quality of our cats and continue to maintain the health and personality that the breed is known for. 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. We have toyed with the idea of not breeding curls anymore at a few different times but it is their amazing personalities that has made me realize that I will be involved with this breed for MANY years to come.
