The cattery
The Loup Noir Cattery is a small family operation dedicated to Turkish Angoras (TUA). Established originally in Alsace, the cattery moved eight years later to Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
After owning many house cats over the years, we started looking into pure-bred ones. That way we discovered the ancient Turkish Angora breed, before stumbling on their Turkish Van cousins that we breed under the Mayrig name.
Our very first Angoras came from Germany. Then they were joined by cats from the Netherlands, Italy, the Czech Republic. Later ones arrived from France and Switzerland.
The Loup Noir (black mask) is a tribute to the king of our operation, Onyx, and his well-defined mask, just like his demeanor.
