As a child growing up in Switzerland, I was surrounded by cats, and my love for them has continued throughout my life.

Under the prefix Martes, I have bred and successfully shown persian and exotic cats. The Martes prefix is well known in Australia and New Zealand for its many Best in Show and Cat of the Year Awards.

I am a fully qualified All Breeds Judge, starting with Group 1 in 1986. I have enjoyed judging in all states of Australia as well as in New Zealand and Europe. I am a Tutor Judge and Examiner for the NSW Cat Fanciers' Association.

Positions that I currently hold within the cat fancy include:

President, Exotic Cat Association of Australasia
Treasurer, Federal Cat Club of Australasia Inc
Committee member & Treasurer, NSW CFA - serving my
2nd consecutive term
Appointed Auditor for 15 Cat Clubs.

In my spare time (!) I am a Public Accountant with my own Company.

I share my life with my husband Grant, our King Charles Spaniel Pixie, and my cats of course!

Persian and exotic kittens are sometimes available for show, breeding or a most loved pet. Only award winning quality kittens are sold for showing.
