I have owned cats my entire life, starting with farm cats as a child. I purchased my first pet Birman in 1990 and my first breeding Birman in 1994. With my husband Greg we have bred Birmans in Canberra, Townsville, Wellington (NZ) on the Gold Coast and now at Murrumbateman. My first prefix – Kachin was granted in Canberra in 1994 and my current prefix, Sunsoar, was granted in 1997. We have achieved many major awards at specialist and All Breed shows including Birman Cat Fanciers Qld Supreme Exhibit 2010 and 2012 and two Best Group 1 desexed at the ACF National 2016.

Following my retirement from the RAAF and moving to the Gold Coast in 2006, I was able to commence training to become a judge with QFA and gained my Companion licence in 2007 with QFA, followed by a Group 1 (Longhair) licence in 2009. I became an All Breeds Judge in 2014.

Greg and I are enjoying our life in Murrumbateman and share our home with our Birmans, Bees and Alpacas. Aside from my cat related activities I enjoy gardening, bee keeping, travelling and spending time with the grandchildren.
