Martin was born in the first ever litter of French Angoras
that we had at Lilac Haven. He was a brother to Angelica and Pixie. He died
earlier this week, I suppose of old age as he started to show a physical decline in appearance in the
past few months and was not as lively as he had previously been. He was born in a deep freeze/snow storm in February
of 2007 and when I found the kits they were lifeless. Mama Selma had 10 babies, 8 of which I was able to revive and 5 of which lived.
Martin earned two legs toward his grand champion status being favored by
the “angora” judges and not so much by the “meat” judges. I liked him all the
same as he was a friendly boy and we will miss him. Lilac Haven's Pixie is the only remaining
sibling from that litter.
