Cattery Chiaro di Luna


Index

 

The moment we bought our cats, we had no intention to participate in exhibitions. Due to a leap of faith, we participated in our first cat show in Hoei, and since then, kept participating with Tiffany. Because Chiaro has no pedigree, we currently only do shows with Tiffany and her son Vladimir.

Just as Tiffany's breeders from the Cattery Perla de las Esmeraldas, Moïra and Patrice, we are active members of the Amoureux du Félin Russe. Therefore, all our kittens are affiliated to the LOOF. As a result, Tiffany's show results are subject to the LOOF's rules with regard to obtaining her titels. She currently is a Grand International Champion. Unfortuantely, we had to neuter Tiffany in mid July. As a result, she was no longer allowed to participate in the CACE class, and was obliged to restart her show circuit in the Premior class!

The highlight of our exhibition career was certainly the Russian Blue Special in Frankfurt on 3 April 2005. During that exhibition no less than 57 Russian Blues were present. Moreover, we won the 2 Best of Best trophees: Vladimir in the non-neutered category and Tiffany in the neutered category! Pictures of this show can be found in our own pictures section, but also here and here. A press article in a German newspaper starring Karen and Vladimir is also available.

Tiffany's and Vladimir's exposition results can be found in their respective sections. The show results of our kittens are summarized in the Litters section.
