Our wonderful Committee dedicates their hearts and spare time to bringing four amazing shows to life each year. Their love of cats and passion for cat fancy far outweighs the energy, late nights, and time that goes into this celebration of cats.
Adri ‘popped in’ to a cat show in 2005 where she saw her first ‘live’ Aby and it was the beginning of a love affair. In 2013 she imported her first Aby queen for breeding. She has been involved with SAASA, BIG/TBCC, and is now the WPCC chair.
Ingrid became involved in the Cat Fancy shortly after moving to Cape Town in 2000. She started stewarding shows before being invited to do the Judges’ Course. She is a SACC All Breeds judge and Chairperson of the Cape Panel of Judges.
Hazel got her first cat (accidental half siamese) when she was 10. However, it was one of her next cats, a Burmese, who started a life-long love affair with the breed. She has been a Burmese breeder, a rescue foster, is a show judge and now the editor of the WPCC’s newsletter.
Her love for cats started in 2004 when she was mesmerised by the beauty of Chinchilla Longhairs. As the years went by, the love for Maine Coons and Burmese evolved. She has a passion for the different cat breeds, being supportive and eager to learn and present at cat shows.
Emma has been involved with the Cat Fancy since 2018. In that time she has shown both domestic and pedigree cats with her first domestic, Oliver, going to COTY in his first year. She now does the design work for the club and stewards at the shows.
Jackie’s been a certified cat lady since she was two, which is when she was adopted by her first cat. After a lifetime of living with domestic cats of all shapes and sizes, she visited a cat show and it was basically love at first sight Somalis. Fast forward to now: she’s living the dream with three Somalis (and 4 rescues) and is currently on the hunt to import a stud to kickstart her own breeding program. She’s also the newest face on the committee, so she’s still figuring out which buttons not to press and where we hide the good snacks.
