Joshy’s pedigree name was Crinkles Reed and he was a red Selkirk Rex Longhair. He was born on 5th June 2007, and came to live with us later that year when we went to buy one Selkirk Rex kitten and came back with two! We had originally gone for his half brother Jack (Crinkles Jack Frost) but could not resist Joshy’s cheeky face and manner. Later on Jack’s younger sister, Tiffany (Crinkles Forget Me Not) and another half brother Murphy (Curlu Nate) joined us and numerous non-pedigree rescue cats. Sadly in 2018 Jack & Tiffany passed away with cancer but Joshy’s young great nephews Cookie & Cracker (Noontide Cookie Starstone and Noontide Jack Sunrunner) and great niece Fae (Noonetide Fae Petalsprite) came to live with us to join their half brother and another great nephew, Dylan (Noontide Berry Silvertree) , who arrived here in 2018. Joshy himself sadly joined his half brother and sister at the Rainbow Bridge in July 2021, closely followed by Murphy in November 2021.

 

Joshy still has his own Facebook fan page. it is a secret group but genuine people can ask to join but please don’t be offended if we ask questions before we let you in. If you would like to join it, especially if you have met Joshy at a show, please email to ask.

 

Joshy had a  rather endearing permanently grumpy expression which, like the famous and sorely missed “Grumpy Cat” of America, belied his sweet, loving and adorable nature.
