We are Marco and Franca and we live in Leerdam (NL) with our Norwegian forest cats and our 2 dogs.
A Dobermann named Yara and a Chocolate Labrador named Yuna.
Our great love for the Norwegian started when we bought our first White Norwegian female named Dissy born on the 25th of June 2005. Our second girl came very quickly, because we loved the Norwegian forest cat breed. Anuket Ayda av Verden was born on the 19th of April 2006 and after 13 weeks of waiting she came to our house, to light up our life.

That was enough we thought, two dogs and 2 cats…Not! The story took another turn.
We got addicted to the breed, and after a while we decided to start a small cattery.
Our other girls are Fjellbekks Stina (Brynja) and Cyllene av Verden.
We found Stina in Germany, a lovely little girl born on 14th of April 2007
Cyllene av Verden was born on the 12th of April 2007.
She is from the same cattery as Anuket; a little black mysterious girl, and we fell in love with her.
 

After that we needed a cattery name, we started to look in de Norwegian dictionary, and we found a few words that we combine and that was NORSK GLIMRE. It's a free translation, meaning beautiful/glamourous/sparkling Norwegian.
For us it is a great privilege to breed this beautiful cat ,we also like to show that on the Fife shows in Europe.

Our goal is to breed healthy, strong cats with a sweet and lovely temper.
And to come as close as possible to the wild forest cat, who is still living in the Norwegian forest.
To breed as healthy as possible we test our cats on FIV en FeLV and of course we are taking care that our cats and kittens are in a good shape.

Cattery Norsk Glimre is registered by Mundikat (Fife)
