Having started in the cat fancy at the tender age of 14 in South Africa with Siamese cats, I was bitten by the bug very early on in life . My first litter was born when I was 16. Upon moving to the U.K. I visited a TICA Cat Show in Swanley back in 2009 and met a gentleman from Latvia who was visiting the show with a Peterbald. I had never seen one before but immediately fell in love with the breed. I spent the next 2 years researching and chatting with breeders from across the world. In 2011 I met a breeder in Lithuania who's values aligned with my own. It was decided that when the right kitten came along I would be able to purchase her and have her as a breeding queen for my cattery. In January 2012 I saw the most equisite kitten on Indre's webpage and it was decided that Lt* Ideal Cat Principessa would come to London and become part of my life. Princess was the most equisite cat I had ever laid eyes on! A Seal Point with White Chamois coated Peterbald. She arrived with Indre in March and was the true love of my life. She was everything I dreamed a Peterbald would be and was my soul's companion. I then entered the incredible world of TICA Shows. This was a completely different style show to the ones I was used to in South Africa and I loved the system. Princess became very well known on the circut and became a Regional Winner, Breed Winner and Supreme Grand Champion. She loved to show and helped me put the breed on the map here in the U.K with her charm, grace and wonderful personality. She enjoyed an incredible show career before retiring happily at home. With a beautiful black male Peterbald - Watson - also coming in from Indre. I began breeding. As Peterbalds are so rare here in the United Kingdom, I had to import cats from across the world for my breeding programme. Some from St Petersburg, Vologda in Russia, Spain, and Kazakhstan. Watson lies in the background of most of our progeny. We have2 new ladies for our future breeding plans - Elfi a wonderful Blue and White Bicolour Chamois coated girl and Ermintrude a stunning Oriental Shorthair (a permissable outcross). We are very much looking forward to the next generation when these young ladies have grown. I would like to stress this is my hobby, it is my love and my passion. It has always been my feeling that if I can give one person the joy I have received from my cats, then I have achieved something wonderful in life. There is nothing like a Peterbald! As my dear friend Indre first explained to me - "a little like a dog in devotion, a monkey in activity, a human in love, and a little bit alien too." I still don't think I have come up with a better way of describing the breed! They will change your world for the better, just like they have mine, and I would never be without them.
