Our Siamese and Orientals
Our cats live in the home and are treated as members of the family. Like children, they can talk all day and sometimes pout when not given their own way. Siamese are cats with coloured points and blue eyes, while Oriental Shorthairs, or Orientals, are esentially a Siamese with any other coat colour and have green eyes. They can be solid coloured, multi coloured or patterned. These cats love to give love and be loved.

Our Studs
Grand Champion Gautama Riyaaz Vulcan is a Chocolate Classic Tabby Oriental Shorthair. Vulcan came to us on a lease with restrictions. Vulcan has now been desexed and rehomed to a loving family. He continues to live the life of a pampered indoor cat.
Vulcan attended his first show on 30 October 2016 and was recognised for his excellent type. He won many awards in 2017.
He has fathered beautiful kittens for us, including our beautiful Juhraya Dax.
Startrill is indebted to Kim and Steve from Gautama for entrusting Vulcan in to our care.
Retired Stud
Vulcan has been retired from showing and breeding.
He now lives in with a wonderful family. Thanks again to Gautama for allowing us his lease.
