Welcome to Arctic Sapphire, a small cattery located in Norway.

My boyfriend and I got our cattery name approved by FIFE in the spring of 2017.

Our names are Andreas and Siril Malene, and we hope to breed healthy, beautiful and lovable ragdolls. We live in Ås just outside Oslo, as I am currently studying Biotechnology at the Norwegian university of life sciences.

Our story

Our journey started in 2010 when I got my first ragdoll, NO* Killingberget Safir (we call him Lucifer). I fell in love with the breed, and so did Andreas when he met Lucifer. We later decided we wanted to become a host family and contacted NO*Glassrosens who we thought has the most beautiful ragdolls in Norway<3

The owners of Glassrosens, Berit, and Cecilie were kind enough to let one of their queens move to us, Tribeca (we call her Arya). Tribecas first litter with us consisted of 6 adorable kittens who we named after great scientists. One of the kittens was Lise Meitner, a lovely little girl with huge blue eyes<3 We could not let this little girl move from us, so we decided to be host family for her as well. Having kittens and helping to develop this breed is something we enjoy a lot! 

Arya had her second litter in 2016, the doctor who litter. She got transferred to us after this litter, and she will be the first queen in Arctic Sapphire<3 

We would probably not be a cattery without Berit and Cecilie, they have helped us so much! I have learned a lot, though still has a lot left to learn. I am so thankful for these two wonderful ladies!

Cattery-name!

As previously mentioned, our first ragdoll, Lucifer, is originally named Safir. Safir is the Norwegian word for sapphire. We thought we should have a name that includes Lucifer as he means a lot to us. The other part of the name, Arctic, relates to the fact that I am from the northern part of Norway. It also relates to us being at Svalbard while discussing the cattery-name :D
