Jungletrax Cattery is owned and operated by Anthony Hutcherson.  I have been attracted to exotic creatures and wild cats nearly all my life. Experiences with the likes of Jungle Cats, Geoffroy's Cats, Caracals and Ocelots taught me that, though beautiful, these cats need and deserve specialized living conditions available in their natural or those recreated by devoted institutions and individuals operating outside of the practicalities of children, extended family and neighbors.

I have enjoyed the company of several domestic breeds including Ocicats, Safari Cats, Abyssinians and American Bobtails before deciding that the Bengal Cat was the ultimate cat for me. I began breeding Bengals in 1992 and have not been without one since. I have had many experiences with Asian Leopard Cats (the wild ancestor of the domestic Bengal), Foundation Bengals and domestic or SBT Bengals that have allowed me to gain a wealth of knowledge. I continue to travel  and engage with the Bengal breeders to learn as much about this wonderful and exciting breed as it continues to develop.

Jungletrax is a TICA registered cattery and you might often find us at a TICA Show exhibiting one of my beauties. I am happy at the continued success and of my cats since I began showing Tsavo (pictured with me above) in 1995. I am currently (2002-2005) a member of the TICA Bengal breed committee. I was elected chairman of the TICA Bengal Breed Committee in December 2008 to serve through December 2011. photo by Yukari Kaneko.

In 1999 upon a visit to my  good  friend Judy Sugden's home I found myself returning with a lovely striped kitten from her California Toyger breeding programs. This young kitten, “Krackadoodle” soon had me hooked on this exciting new breed.  Toyger are developing and each year we see rapid development of the breed. I work closely with other Toyger breeders and the International Toyger Cat Society to insure the continued development of this young and beautiful breed. Toygers are now a Championship breed in TICA competing with Persians, Bengals and Siamese. 

My family has been so understanding and supportive since I began this quest to create and appreciate the most beautiful felines in the world.  I travel quite a bit so it is often best to call as I may not be able to return e-mails for extended periods. I sincerely appreciate your interest in my cats.  They are wonderful!  Jean Mill and myself, 1996.
