Testimonial from DR. Ceremuga DVM ​written 3/2025: My name is Jennifer Ceremuga, and I am a veterinarian and the owner and medical director of Silver Creek Animal Clinic in Silverton, Oregon. I met Nikki Gregory more than ten years ago when she brought one of her cats to our clinic for veterinary care. Throughout the subsequent years, she has been a very frequent client of our practice, and I have seen many of her animals for varying reasons. I have been honored to observe the establishment, and maintenance of her oriental shorthair cattery. It is rare that I have seen a breeder (of any type of animal) that pours so much care, and thoughtfulness to their operation. Nikki stays in frequent, and close contact with me, and she complies with all of my recommendations for best care of her cats (and other animals as well). I have been to Nikki's house, and have personally observed the high standards to which she keeps her facilities. All of the areas where her cats are housed are clean and comfortable, and she feeds them all very high quality food. I know that Nikki cares deeply about the well being of every animal in her care, and she would never make any decision that would compromise any of her animals health or quality of life. I have really enjoyed working with Nikki because I know that she has her animals best interests at heart. Please feel free to reach out to me if I can answer any further questions on this subject. Sincerely, Jennifer Ceremuga, DVM Medical Director Silver Creek Animal Clinic

Testimonial from Jamie L. Harris As an animal health professional and lover of oriental shorthairs, I had to do a lot of research for a breeder focused on the health of this incredible breed. I found Know More Cats. The love I saw in Nikki for the breed just fit for me. So, I flew halfway across the country to get my new babies. Cici and Kopi have brought love and light into our lives. Kopi snuggles with his daddy, and Cici is the absolute epitome of what an osh should be. Smart, independent, and follows me everywhere. I am thankful to find Know More Cats and count Nikki as a friend.

Testimonial from Rebecca.   When we made the decision to add another furbaby to our home, I talked to several breeders across the United States. When I came across Know More Cats, Nikki is so passionate about the animals in her care and has the highest standards not only for her animals but in finding the right forever home for them. We reached out looking for a kitten but had just “missed out” as all of her younger kittens had found home. Nikki spoke with us about an older kitten Moxie and took the time to tell us about her, her story and personality as well as get to know us to see if we could be a match for Moxie. When it was mutually decided Moxie could be a good fit for us and us for her, we made arrangements to meet with Nikki to bring Moxie home. After allowing time to introduce and settle in, we are now so thrilled we were offered this opportunity for Moxie to be in our lives. She’s sassy, smart, beautiful and loving. We have 2 Turkish angora boys in our home and Moxie fits right in and is best friends with one and follows him everywhere! We have so much confidence in Know More Cats from her experience and standards to the care she puts into each pet, that we hope to one day have another one of her furbabies. ANYTHING TO ADD: Thank you Nikki for our Moxie girl. We appreciate you more than you know. From: Rebecca B.

Testimonial. Hey Nikki! I saw your recent post on FB featuring an adorable tortie girl, and thought I'd send an update on mine. My little gal Tina is doing great. I couldn't have asked for a better cat. Her affectionate personality, her quirky little antics, her funny expressive voice... everything is perfect. She has an unlimited capacity for giving and receiving love and attention! I call her my little sugar monkey

Testimonial. Nikki, we are so happy to have two cats from you, Sisters. I'm so grateful to you for all you have given us! And all the support when we were going through a sad time from the loss of our older cat. The kittens are both healthy and beautiful, and silly... they are also charming, naughty, and funny, and I can't imagine life without them! I will sing your praises whenever they need to be sung.

“Nikki is the best! She raises her kittens with so much love. I waited over two years for my "dream cat", I wanted a ginger boy, and I'm pretty sure he's the best one, yes he is.  I brought Dexter home in April of 2025. Nikki knew I'd be traveling with him, so she harness trained him as well as put introduced him to his carrier which I had sent to her. One of the great things she did was teach him to use the litter box "on command".  Dexter just came home from his fourth trip by plane with me and he still will use the litter box when I ask him too. He loves his carrier and usually just sleeps on the plane.  Such a smart kitten!!  Dexter is a joy and I love him so much. Nikki is the best breeder, she truly loves her cats and takes such excellent care of them. Dexter is incredibly affectionate, craves human contact, is SUPER chatty, and is a very special boy! "

After having an Oriental Shorthair cat in the past, we knew we wanted another one...oh wait..TWO - siblings are the BEST. We researched breeders extensively, and we decided Know More Cats was the place to go. Why? Number ONE-Nikki doesn't raise her kittens in cages, and they are socialized immediately. She breeds responsibly, educates her prospective buyers-explains red flags to watch out for with breeders, shares genetics, does preliminary vet care, and provides videos/pictures of available kittens. Once we got to the top of the waitlist, she communicated with us personally each step of the way until we met her for pick-up of our two beautiful female OSH siblings. We can attest to our cats being complete love bugs, having extremely sweet dispositions, and most importantly, they are healthy and thriving. We highly recommend KMC!!  Shelly M. (Olympia WA).

We've had a great experience working with Nikki. We spent a long time researching and talking to other breeders before choosing Know More Cats, and we flew from Florida to Oregon to bring our sweet boy home. From the very beginning — and even a year later — she is extremely responsive, and you can tell just how deeply she cares about her cats and kittens — not just in how they’re raised, but in how social, confident, affectionate, and healthy they turn out to be. Our boy Grimm is incredibly loving, playful, curious, and so attached to us. You can see the quality of care and socialization he received from day one, because he transitioned into our home so smoothly and bonded with us so quickly. He is stunning, and his personality is absolutely priceless. He follows us everywhere and prefers to sit in our lap — he truly just wants to be right with us. Nikki clearly puts so much love and attention into every kitten she raises, and you can feel that in the personalities and quality of her kittens. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an Oriental Shorthair. Grimm has brought so much joy into our lives, and we couldn’t imagine our home without him.

Testimonial from Beth!!!   ​ I feel so lucky that we found Nikki when we did. She is the most attentive, warm and thorough OSH breeder I have ever known. Heck, she is the kindest and most considerate person I have ever known. I am so honored she chose us to be Knightly's people. First, she hand-raised our little guy and his sisters. This means feeding every two hours round the clock and even taking them to work with her. As a result, Knightly is totally interested in people; he is brave and curious, and the trait we find most endearing is he is courteous. He is certain he can communicate to you exactly what he wants, and he manages. He also knows if you need something; if you are crying, even happy tears at a tv movie, he is right there finding out what is going on and trying to help you feel better. He watches your face for clues on what is your next plan. Omg! he is the most wonderful cat I have ever known. I had no idea they could be this loving, entertaining, communicative, gentle, and mannerly. From: Elizabeth B.

Testimonial. I had researched Oriental Shorthair cats for a while before getting my Leon from Nikki at KMC. I knew my time was limited with my sphynx, Gryffin, as he had been diagnosed with HCM and heart failure. The day he passed away I was on Facebook looking at OSH pages, trying to find a breeder in the U.S. that met my high standards. (I just couldn't go through the heartbreak again as I had with my sphynx). That was the day I saw someone recommend Nikki and her cattery. I pulled up her Facebook page and website and was met with the high standards I was looking for.  I sent her an e-mail and told her my story and she said she had a few boys available since those on her wait list wanted to wait for a specific color. Nikki was so wonderful to work with. She sent videos, photos, and called me so I would be assured this wasn't a scam. I fell in love instantly with Leon through those videos. He adjusted extremely well to his new home and his new big cat brother, Oscar. He did so well that he brought the kitten out of Oscar, who is 12. Leon is the most loving boy. He is my velcro kitty, my chatty catty, and pure joy. He plays hard and loves

Testimonial. Nikki was amazing to work with. She is so kind and generous with her time... Both before and after receiving our kittens, she sent videos of them, the food she feeds, & toys they like to play with. She answered all our questions, she suported me through the transition of bringing them home ~ helping adjust to our other animals. I would work with Nikki anytime and recommend her to anyone who asks. Also, she did all of this while her father was on hospice. She is Amazing

Testimonial. This little boy is the love of my life. more coming.....
