I was quite surprised and complimented
to be nominated as RBBA Kitten Secretary in May 2011 and to be invited
to serve on the RBBA Committee. It is definitely proving to be very
rewarding to put potential suitable Russian Blue kitten owners in
touch with our GCCF registered breeders, and to receive thank you
letters from both breeders and new parents alike makes it all worthwhile.
My love of the Russian Blue cat began on seeing and reading about
the breed in The Mitchell Beazley Pocket Guide to Cats. Having just
lost a rescue "temperamental tortie" at the age of 18 years,
the description of an "affectionate, rather shy and quiet, soft-voiced
and graceful cat" appealed to me. However, my husband Andrew
wanted another rescue cat, so we managed to combine both our wishes
when the RBBA Welfare Co-Ordinator put us in touch with our first
rescue Russian Blue, Sophie, who lived until about 17 years of age.
Married to Andrew for nearly 23 years, we have made Russian Blue
cats a significant part of our lives. Over the years, we have enjoyed
giving well-bred kittens a loving home, whilst always saving room
for a couple of rescue Russians, if required. Our most notable re-homing
was for Katy, adopted by us aged 15 years and who we sadly lost just
before her 20th birthday. We currently own 4 Russian Blue Cats, Pandora,
Herbert, Arthur and our beautiful little showgirl Larksong Annastasija
who we enjoy taking out to occasional shows.
I look forward to serving on the RBBA committee and working as RBBA
Kitten Secretary in 2012 and beyond. |
