HISTORY
SENTOSA CATTERY WAS STARTED BY MICHAEL BARBER IN 2001 WITH THE THOUGHT IN MIND HE WOULD PLAY AN INTEGRAL PART IN PROTECTING AND IMPROVING THE SINGAPURA BREED.
LOCATED IN DALLAS, TEXAS, SENTOSA CATTERY USES A VETERINARIAN WHICH SPECIALIZES IN FELINE HEALTH, EXCLUSIVELY IS A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN FELINE PRACTITIONERS ASSOCIATION.
MICHAEL HAS BEEN A CAT OWNER FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND BECAME INTERESTED IN THE SINGAPURA BREED AFTER NUMEROUS AND EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH BARBARA LYDIATE OF ALABAMA, OWNER OF CATERA CATTERY, REGARDING THE PROSPECT OF ADOPTING PET QUALITY SINGAPURA. DURING HIS MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH BARBARA, SHE ENCOURAGE HIM TO CONSIDER SHOWING AND BREEDING THESE WONDERFUL CATS.
SENTOSA'S KITTENS ARE RAISED UNDER FOOT ALONG WITH OTHER PUREBRED FELINES. ALL, OF COURSE, ARE PART OF HIS FAMILY. AT THE PRESENT TIME, MICHAEL HAS A PLATINUM POINT TONKINESE AND A BOMBAY. THEY CAME INTO HIS HOME AS PET-QUALITY PUREBREDS INASMUCH AS MICHAEL HAD NO INTENTION OF SHOWING. THE SINGAPURAS AND OTHER PUREBREDS TRANSLATE INTO AN ACTIVE, FUN LOVING ENVIRONMENT. DUE TO HEALTH REASONS MICHAELRETIRED FROM BREEDING IN SEPTEMBER 2007. BARBARA I STOPPED BREEDING SINGAPURAS DUE TO THE HEALTH PROBLEMS. I LOST BREEDING FEMALES AND BREEDING MALES AND I HAVE LOST COUNT OF THE NUMBER OF KITTENS THAT I LOST DURING MY BREEDING PROGRAM. THE SINGAPURA IS A WONDERFUL CAT AND NEEDS AN OUTCROSS TO OPEN UP THE GENETICS. ALL OF THESE CATS WERE PROPOGATED FROM THREE CATS, PUSS'E, TICKLE

OWNED AND OPERATED BY SENTOSA AND CATERA CATTERIES
SENTERA CATTERY WAS FORMED IN JULY 2002 BY SENTOSA AND CATERA CATTERIES. THE PURPOSE OF SENTERA IS TO IMPORT CATS AND KITTENS FROM OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA IN ORDER TO DIVERSIFY BOTH BARBARA AND ERIC LYDIATE'S AND MICHAEL BARBER'S SINGAPURA LINES. THESE ANIMALS ARE CAREFULLY TESTED GENETICALLY AND SCREENED TO INSURE SEVERAL GENERATIONS OF FOREIGN BREEDING ARE PRESENT. SINGAPURAS THAT MEET THESE QUALIFICATIONS ARE ACQUIRED BY SENTERA CATTERY TO DECREASE INBREEDING CONCENTRATION WITHIN SENTOSA AND CATERA LINES. LOWERING INBREEDING CONCENTRATION PRODUCES HEALTHIER OFFSPRING AND REDUCES THE POSSIBILITY OF STRENGTHENING GENETICS WHICH MAY CAUSE PHYSICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ABNORMALITIES.
