 Meet the Staff of SC!  

Paw Print Bullet (Green-O) - F2U! 
= More major characters with a more in-depth bio.  Main characters in the RPs and stories involving SC.

 Owners:

----------------------------------
Nathan King - Owner of Sanctum Cattery.  Retired jockey.
Spends most of his days handling the business and political sides of owning Sanctum Cattery.  He handles all public relations and accounting services.  He is constantly going on business trips to other catteries to either form partnerships with, help them grow, or scout for potential sales or breeding prospects.  He specializes in helping new catteries gain their first few cats and to further establish their facilities.  Because of all this, he is almost never actually seen at Sanctum Cattery (since he's usually busy even when he's there) and leaves the majority of the Cattery's responsibilities in the hands of his life-time best friend, Logan Grayson.
Favorite Cat(s): Levi 104Jayce 57

Harper King - (Deceased)
Co-founder of Sanctum Cattery, Harper was a Veterinarian specialized in Shedus and Genetics.  She started out as a small-time veterinarian working closely with the Elseviers and slowly started rescuing abandoned and unwanted Shedu cubs (particularly streetbreds in secret).  She later started up the facility now known as Sanctum Cattery with her husband, Nathan.

 Instructors:

----------------------------------
The Main Instructors here at SC.  Usually retired from successful showing careers. Many of the main riders also double as more specialized instructors when they're not preparing for or partaking in shows, but the ones listed here are the full-time ones.  Often times SC will host clinics for other great riders and instructors to come down and teach a class or two in their specialty.

Paw Print Bullet (Green-O) - F2U! Logan Grayson - Head Instructor and Cattery Manager
Age: 52  Gender: Male  Discipline(s): Flat Racing, Steeple Chase, Endurance
Personality Traits: Strict, Direct, No-nonsense, Fatherly, Practical, Hardworking, Calm, Dependable
Favorite Cat(s):  Cujo 9993Andromeda 2915
History/Bio: Retired Jockey.  Hard on his son, Jaden.  Grumpy on the outside, but really a friendly softy on the inside.

Amy Blackwell - Flat Work Instructor
Focuses on the basics of riding, maintaining a good posture, and building confidence.  She's generally the go-to instructor for new riders.
Favorite Cat(s): 

Matthew Dixon - Racing Instructor
He's the man for those aspiring to be Jockeys.  Focuses on Flat Racing and Steeple chase. 
Favorite Cat(s): 

Mia Barnes - Dressage, Halter, and Liberty Instructor
She tends to be the most feared of the instructors.  She is very good at her job though and has a lot she can teach any rider but she is very direct and sometimes a little too harsh in her critiques.  She demands the utmost respect, dedication, and attention to detail, but any rider that can survive her teachings will move on to become excellent riders.

 Caretakers:

Employees of Sanctum Cattery.  Live on or near the property

Brendan Merritt  - On Site Veterinarian 
All-purpose veterinarian.  He lives on site and sees every shedu for general health inspections at least once a week.  Keeps all cats up-to-date on shots and vaccines.  Usually the first person called over whenever there's a suspected issue or injury.

On call 24hours.  Is present for nearly every birth at Sanctum Cattery.  Spends the majority of her time in the Shedu Nursery.

In charge of making sure every shedu gets the nutrition they need.  Constantly inspecting food quality.

Julia Wells - Nurse
On-site nurse for the two-legged patients who may end up with minor riding injuries or sicknesses. Very motherly, always scolding people for being careless.  In the rare case of a more serious injury, Julia is often the first one there to perform first aid and stabilize any condition before transport to the hospital.  

Nyle Garrison - Head of Security.  Ex-Marine
Man in charge of the small, mounted security task force that keeps the grounds safe.  Always a few men on duty to prevent any theft or illegal activities on the grounds.  These guards do nightly riding patrols around the perimeter and through the woods around SC to keep out would be thugs and trespassers.  All are highly trained people who have either military, law enforcement, or bodyguard backgrounds.  They tend to ride those shedus that have Komainu blood or are K-crosses for their loyalty and extra protective personalities.

 Current Students:

Students, Interns, and volunteers who pay for lessons, leases, and room and board in exchange for helping out around the cattery.  Usually from out of state, they tend to fly down for anywhere from 6 weeks to a year and get to take lessons, go to college, and gain experience in the shedu world.  Sanctum Cattery offers wonderful intern and scholarship programs that allow these students to come live on site and lease a cat for a time.  Any students who show excellent riding capabilities or a promising veterinarian/breeding/handling career may be offered jobs and signed on as full-time employees.  (If you would like a character to come live at SC for awhile or have a history/backstory at SC, just note me and we can working something out)

Streetbred HQ



 The Harpies  

 Streetbred Shedu Policies: 

----------------------------------
    SC does not participate in the Street Racing world.  Here at SC we have very strict rules against illegal Shedu activity.  SC, however does take in Streetbred cubs from time to time and usually invests in getting them fake papers so that they may be treated as legal OERS Shedus.  Those cats that do not have these papers, are kept out of view towards the back of the property.  

 Gang Affiliations:

----------------------------------

 

SC tries to maintain a proper legal standing, but in honor of the late Harper King, who helped start SC after adopting streetbred cubs, SC has a small, underground street team known as The Harpies who go about rescuing streetbred cubs from the streets.   They are not an official gang of any sort, but were named after Harper King.
