Colorpoint Scottish Folds are extremely rare, and quite controversial in the cat fancy.  They have long been accepted for championship competition by CFF, TICA, and CCA.  In fact, our colorpoint folds were instrumental in getting this unique color-pattern accepted in both CFF and TICA.  In CFA, pointed folds are not allowed, and are not registerable, presuming the color is a result of direct  hybridization to other breeds (Himalayans, Siamese, Birmans, etc) to attain this color.
 
Colorpoint Scottish Folds, are a natural occuring phenomenon.  Since the early days of the breed, folds were bred to any unrelated cat to insure its genetic diversity.  Some of those cats were taken from shelters, and many of those cats carried the colorpoint gene.  Since our lines are directly descended from those cats, colorpoints often appear in our litters.  The gene often remains hidden appearing only occasionally in random litters.
 
Colorpoint folds are beautiful, with the dark points dramatizing the folded ears.
