About Belle Hollow Farms and Exotics
Belle Hollow Farms & Exotics is located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. Currently we breed F1 Savannah kittens, F-2 Savannah kittens, Egyptian Maus kittens for sale to qualified homes, sheep,and miniature donkeys.
We became a farm when in 1997 we acquired our very first sheep. Shortly thereafter we bought a few pigmy goats to help the sheep graze out pastures. We then bought our first miniature donkey as a guardian for our sheep and goats against the local coyote population. The farm portion of our operation supplies lambs to the local 4H club for the annual lamb show in September and antibiotic and hormone free freezer lambs to the public at large.
We acquired our first serval, Jeffree, in 2004 and that's when we added the "exotics" portion of our name. The summer of 2005, our presence was graced with the birth of our first F1 Savannah kittens and we couldn't be happier! In the fall of 2006 we acquired Radar a new serval male kitten and set him up with a breeding pool for F-1 Savannahs. We also retained one of our first F-1 females Pearl and have brought in Merit an Egyptian Mau as her mate in the summer of 2007 and are producing F-2 Savannahs. In the winter of 2011 we added Whistler and Eros to increase our potential breeding pool to 4 servals.
Add to our joy we now are breeding Geoffroy's cats. The fall of 2005 we were lucky enough to acquire two wonderful little Geoffroy's females, Maya & Figment. The summer of 2006 we acquired Miss Mouse, a female Geoffroy's kitten. We aquired Karl from Zoo Jihlava in the Czech Republic and are begining to make real progress in expanding the gene pool. He is a proven breeder at age 10 and is only closely related to 2 other cats in this country. In the summer of 2011 Karl to Figment produced their first litter of 2 kittens. We aquired Mystery in December of 2009 and he sired his first kitten with Maya in the summer of 2011. We are still trying to acquire additional males and females of unrelated lines so we may keep these beautiful creatures viable in the U.S. captive breeding stock.
Our sheep: We raise antibiotic and hormone free lamb for flock or freezer and are willing to ship to those that may be interested! Click here to see!
Our servals: First we had Jeffree who opened our eyes to what wonderful cats servals are. With the addition of Radar our little cattery is growing. Click here to see!
Our Geoffroy's: Maya, Figment and now Miss Mouse are three of the most intriguing animals alive. We often describe them as squirrels on speed! We have acquired a male "Chili" on breeding loan and "Karl" from the Czech Republic and hope to begin producing kitten the summer of 2007 Click here to see!
Our Egyptain Maus: We added Egyptain Maus to our cattery in 2007. Merit, our sire is a wonderfully gentle cat giving exceptional disposition to both his F-2 Savannah kittens and his double registered CFA and TICA Egyptian Mau kittens. If you have never experience the loving disposition of a Mau you have never met a born to love you cat breed. We offer Silver Bronze and Smoke kittens to both breeding and pet homes.
