We recently stumbled upon Foxy Heiress, and stepping into the space was like entering a warm, cozy cat haven.
A homey retreat not only for cats but for cat lovers too. We instantly felt like lingering longer… or maybe even carting the entire store’s items home with us. (Yes, we’re proudly on Team Cat Lovers!)
Curious to know more, we had the chance to chat with Zara, the passionate founder behind this feline sanctuary in Johor Bahru. What we uncovered was more than just a charming cattery-meets-retail space—it was a story of resilience, love, and dreams realized through fur and whiskers.
The Origin of FOXY HEIRESS® – From Stray Encounters to Dream Cats
With the tagline “A Passion-Driven Cattery,” the heart of FOXY HEIRESS® beats with sincerity and purpose. Its journey began over a decade ago, when Zara started rescuing and adopting strays—kittens without mothers, cats injured or abandoned, often found brushing against her feet near restaurants. Each one she took in was sterilized and lovingly kept as part of her home.
“They became my emotional support during my lowest moments,” she shares. “Their quirks, unpredictability, and calming presence amazed me.” This connection gradually led Zara down the rabbit hole of cat research, exploring breeds, behaviors, and care—until one day, she set her sights on acquiring her own “Dream Cats.”
Driven by curiosity and deep affection, Zara ventured into the world of pedigreed breeds. The road wasn’t easy—scams, rejections, and hard lessons made her more discerning. Over time, she built trustworthy global connections and began importing cats from Europe and East Asia, selecting each with care.
She also registered with major feline organizations like WCF, ICU, TICA, and CFA, undertook courses in feline health and genetics, and developed a structured, ethical breeding program focused on premium breeds like Maine Coons, British Shorthairs, and British Longhairs.
From Personal Dream to Professional Mission
What began as a personal passion soon became a calling. Requests poured in from fellow cat lovers, asking Zara to help them find their own dream companions. It was then that she realized the term “Dream Cat” held profound meaning—it was more than aesthetics; it was about connection, compatibility, and care.
Today, FOXY HEIRESS® provides:
🐾 Personalized sourcing of pedigreed cats based on clients’ preferences
🐾 Breeding consultation and guidance for aspiring ethical breeders
🐾 International cattery and pedigree registration support
🐾 Professional advice on health, diet, temperament, and cat integration
🐾 Retail products including premium supplements, accessories, grooming, and smart tech for pets
Their physical store has grown into a cozy retail hub, now also serving as a main distributor of PETKIT, an AI-powered pet ecosystem. From automatic litter boxes to smart feeders and fountains, FOXY HEIRESS® is bringing next-level convenience to modern cat ownership.
More Than a Store—A Space That Understands Cat Lovers
To visit Foxy Heiress is to understand what it feels like to be truly seen as a cat lover. Whether you’re a first-time pet parent or a long-time feline aficionado, Zara and her team genuinely listen and tailor recommendations to suit each person—and each cat.
Their mission? To improve the world of cats, in return for all the silent joy and unconditional companionship these furry friends bring us.
