Debbie Thomas
Companion Judge
(Debbie is currently taking a Leave of Absence from September 2025 to September) 2026
I have been involved with the Cat Fancy for over 25 years.
I love all breeds of cats but have particular interest in the beautiful Somali, which I started showing in 1998, with my first litter. Before this time, I was showing companion and household pet cats.
I have bred both Somalis and Abyssinians under the Nareira prefix and have had success on the show bench with both of these breeds although I am now concentrating on the Somalis.
I am an accredited Steward and have worked at shows in various capacities.
I was invited to undertake training as a Companion Judge in 2003 with the NSWCFA and I look forward to all assignments when judging these beautiful cats and kittens.
I am now retired after working with the Government for over 38 years, in which I held a Senior position, and I possess University qualifications in Management as well as possessing Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources and Team Leadership.
I am also a registered Justice of the Peace and have a current working with children clearance.
