Judges

Resume

I talked my husband into taking me to a cat show for mothers day. I saw the Birman Cat at the Birman Specialist show. I was able to purchase my first Birman with no white feet, but managed to bring a brother and sister.

I joined the Birman Cat Club and the rest is history. I then started my prefix Bindura Birmans. I started learning all I could about the cats, how shows were run and made good friends along the way. I started breeding in a small way as we had twin boys, one had a disability so we were busy with our young men. I started working in the disability field as a shift worker plus breeding the Birmans.

My next adventure was starting a new prefix in 2014, Babuschka  Siberians. I acquired a Siberian girl from Marie Mahoney and a boy I imported from Irina Petrenko, to start breeding these very interesting cats.



I have been a senior steward for CCI for 25 years.  I hold the position of President of the Birman Cat Club, committee member of CCI, and treasurer for Canberra Forest Cats Club. I held the position of  CCCA secretary for two years, and that was very interesting.

I qualified as a Group 1 judge in 2023 and,  considering  the Shorthair course.
