After being away from cat shows for 30 years, I decided to purchase a black smoke Exotic kitten. I found the CFA New Exhibitor Group on Facebook and posted there asking for guidance. I was connected to a mentor, Tim Murphy, who has helped me achieve success in the Cat Fanciers’ Association.  My Exotic achieved the title of Grand Premier in the 2023-2024 show season!

With the help and guidance of the New Exhibitor Group and my mentor, I now help mentor new exhibitors as they start their journey showing cats. I feel it is my way to pay it forward.

Currently I still show my Exotic, and now my partner and I are showing a blue point Siamese in the Household Pet class.
