David & Karen Ditton

David & Karen Ditton are breeders of domestic shorthairs in Mexico, MO, serving central Missouri and Jefferson City. They have over 15 years of experience with the Cat Fanciers’ Association and The International Cat Association, and their breeding cats undergo genetic screening for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and polycystic kidney disease. Their cats share a spacious climate-controlled home with supervised access to custom window perches and secure outdoor enclosures. Kittens are socialized daily with children and calm household dogs to ensure a confident start in new homes. Each kitten receives age-appropriate vaccinations, regular health checks by a local vet, and is introduced to grooming and litter-box training before adoption age. Clients often mention the breeders’ detailed guidance on nutrition and home integration, noting long-term support and follow-up. Their small-scale approach allows personalized attention and strong bonds with each kitten’s early development. The Dittons emphasize committed placements suited to each family dynamic.
