Most weekends we are at CFA cat shows away from home, but we always have someone checking on the kitties at least three times a day while we are gone! We have fun competing and learning from the judges and others in the cat fancy. It only makes our quality better. All my life I have had cats and dogs, horses, rabbits, turtles, etc, but one day I felt this calling to go to a cat show and I got hooked!

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
