Since early childhood I have been a lover and carer of all creatures great and small, from puppies and horses growing up, working as a Vet Nurse, performing animal rescues and rehoming wherever possible. I firmly believe that the onus of responsibility for the welfare of all animals lies with us.

I became involved with the Cat Fancy back in the late 80’s when my husband presented me with my first pedigree – a gorgeous Foreign White kitten “Ketchen Snow Fonzie’ bred by Joan Baker. We were smitten by this little guy, and it wasn’t long before we added to our family two Siamese Seal Points.

A few cat shows later and the journey had well and truly begun. In 2001 we brought home our first Russian Blue and not long after, began Raska Cattery at our home in Prospect NSW.
