"Having collected Maluku she settled in very quickly, in fact the first day. I would highly recommend you as a breeder, you are the best I have met. Maluku was so well socialised by you and your family. When it is time for me to have another kitten, I will certainly return to you."

"I'd just like to thank you Ash, for not one but two, gorgeous cats. Not only are they the most adorable additions to our family, they are very loving, intelligent, goodlooking and such great fun. I can't believe kittens can be so well socialised that they settle in to their new homes almost instantly. They are not shy, timid cats, they have character and spirit. I could not imagine life without them, and only wish I'd found you sooner. You have such a wonderful and informative website, that i still go on to check how all the kittens are getting on. Thankyou for such a pleasant experience during the whole process of finding, choosing, buying and homing 2 gorgeous kittens. I can't praise you enough. "

"We found our ideal Balinese kitten on the Puddha’s Palace web site. Ash was very welcoming but she was equally keen to understand the circumstances her kitten would be moving to, how we intended to care for a kitten when we were out for much of the day and how our 15 year old boy, Chino, would cope with a such a young addition to his established way of life. After several calls, we realised that a kitten wouldn’t be right for us. Ash, however, had a one year old Balinese, Isla, that she wanted to breed from and then find a good home for, so we made arrangements to visit.

Although the round trip was the better part of six hours we were well rewarded. Needless to say once we met Isla we instantly fell in love with her. Isla had only just been mated so we had quite a few months to wait until the kittens – the Isletas - were born and weaned. We were able to keep abreast of the entire process via the Puddha’s Palace website with regular updates and pictures.

Chino was a little reluctant to accept an intruder at first but Ash had been correct in her assertion that a cat would fit much better than a kitten. Delilah persevered in her attempts to befriend him and they now play and sleep together happily.

She is the happiest cat we have ever owned. She plays and cuddles and is a little mischievous. In her world everything is a game and we spend hours laughing and just watching her. We no longer have the Sunday “lie in” as she deems the world starts at 6.30, but hey – life is too short to sleep anyway. We have playtime each evening at 9pm, no matter what, and she sits with her toys until we join in.

Shortly before Delilah’s arrival Chino was diagnosed with renal failure so we know we will soon need to find a friend for Delilah, and will most certainly go to Ash first. She has been very helpful from the start and all the cats we have met at the Palace have all been a delight. We would heartily recommend Ash and Puddha’s Palace to anyone."

"Ash is spot on with her description. We have 2 Oriental Shorthairs that we bought from her and they are the most incredible pets you could wish for with amazing behaviour and temperament - almost non-cat like in certain ways (quite dog-like sometimes). If you're after an independent cat who mostly does their own thing and usually only interacts with you sparingly on their own terms, then go elsewhere. However, if you're after a highly intelligent cat who is faithful, loyal, gentle, creates an incredibly strong bond with you, wants to be at your side, follows you around and is obedient (yes - really!), then look no further."

(Alun, Wheatley, Oxon)

"Few breeders exist in my area for Oriental cats and while finding out that Puddhas Palace was based about a four hour drive from my home, I knew that given the service I had received by phone and the website information, these would be kittens from a breeder who was all about the kittens. I was not disappointed. From the early stages of choosing my kitten, I was given the opportunity to be involved in its development; from things to encourage, discourage or even give her a name (if I'd been decisive enough to have found one at that stage). Ash is keen to know about her kitten's development when it leaves too, so does not forget you when you have paid for the kitten - which is really nice. I now also have Bob (Iorek), after Lela's behaviour proved she needed a friend, two are definately company! So I made the journey twice and would quite happilly do it again if I decided to increase the number of paws in the house. They are fabulous cats, in form and personality and Ash has to be given a lot of credit for that."

 "A couple of years ago I lost my beloved thirteen-year-old Balinese boy, Henry, to cancer. Although he was irreplaceable, it seemed a good idea to find another of his breed who then might have similar traits. My daughter came across such a litter at Puddha’s Palace, which we decided to take the long journey to view. Of the available kittens, choosing did not pose too much of a problem for us. They were all adorable, but Lily the Balinese made it easy by immediately settling down on my daughter’s lap and thereby sealing the deal. This cat is not a Henry, but goodness me she is a real Lily. We absolutely adore her – she is very loving, follows us around like a dog, is the first of our cats to have her own toy box and insist on us playing with her and she also makes a very good hot water bottle. All this plus the pleasure she gives by just being so beautiful. Purely on the strength of Ash Molloy’s obvious integrity and very high ethical standards in her cat breeding, I would definitely not hesitate to make the journey again to acquire another kitten from her. Apart from anything else, the route to her home is exquisitely scenic and it is very easy to treat it as an excuse for a rare outing."
