My first Siamese was an ex-breeding cat whose registered name was Granvale Lusaka, "Saki" for short. She was given to us at the age of 3 years in 1974 by a breeder in QLD who was impressed by the fact that we professionally boarded our "moggie" cats, while we went further up the coast for a long weekend. Several weeks after our move to Wagga Wagga, Saki went missing for over a week.I was almost 9 months pregnant and after spending many days streetwalking, I had a phone call from a shop owner who had seen a cat of her description across the road fom his store with the neighbourhood toms in pursuit! Yes, it was her.! Unknown by us, she was desexed by having a tubal ligation, therefore still came into season. Our fantastic vet was able to locate all her "important parts" and perform another desexing operation. She went on to live a very long and happy life with us.

I gradually entered into all four colours and eventually became the first breeder of Balinese in NSW when I imported my first Balinese stud from New Zealand in 1983. My young female from South Australia arrived not long after. I spent the next 20 years devoting my time to the breeding of Balinese.
I currently breed Siamese, Oriental and Devon Rex. The Devon Rex are my latest edition and will be anxiously awaiting my first litter!
I became a Group 2 judge with NSWCFA Inc. in 2001, an interesting and challenging role.
I am a life member of the Riverina Cat Club Inc. in Wagga Wagga, NSW, where I spent many years in the position of Publicity Officer.
My kittens are all house reared to become delightful pets, all with wonderful personalities unique to each and every one of them. I have bred Best in Show winners, but most of all I breed for good health and great temperament.
