About Chirpy
Meet Our Mom – Chirpy Wright – owner of Midnite Sun Cattery.
Mom was born in 1932. She married our dad when she was just
seventeen. Together they raised six children and had many
adventures together. They were very happily married until dad passed
away in February of 2009. Mom cared for dad during a lengthy
battle with lung cancer.
After dad died mom had two problems.
First, she had never lived in a house alone her entire life. She was lonely.
Second, she lost part of her income when dad died, so she really needed a way to make a little money. Now, there aren’t too many jobs or business opportunities available for a woman in mom’s age bracket.
Then mom met my cat Sofie. Sofie is a Siberian cat, who actually did come from Siberia! Mom is normally allergic to cats, but she had no reaction to Sofie. Then she fell in love with Sofie and decided to start a business raising Siberian cats. We were all shocked. ‘We’ being me and my three brothers and one remaining sister.
After quite a bit of searching mom was able to obtain both a male and female Siberian from Vickie, a lady in Louisiana who raises Siberians for show. ( http://sibirskiy.com/home )
You can see the photos of Opal and Sunny on this website's home page.
That is how mom’s excellent adventure raising Siberian cats began.
Mom’s strong faith in the God of the Bible has helped her cope with
life without our dad. Dad always liked cats, but with mom’s
allergies to them, they were not able to have a cat. Mom wishes
they had known about them while dad was living as it would have been
such a pleasure to dad to have had a cat during his last two years as he
was housebound most of the time.
So, that is a little about our mom. I wish everyone had a mom like ours. We all thank God for her, and for her example to us.
If you would like to chat with mom about a kitten, or just ask her how she is doing, or about her faith, then please give her a call using the number on the contact page. You can also e-mail her from the contact page.
