What an incredible weekend at the QFA International Show!
With 189 cats entered and six international judges from around the world, it was an honour to have our cats assessed by some of the most respected judges in the cat fancy. To walk away with these results is something I am incredibly proud of.
A special highlight of the weekend was receiving not one, but TWO Judge's Choice Awards.
Aliosha Romero selected Reverence Dream Fever as his Judge's Choice, while Kit Fung (Hong Kong) awarded his Judge's Choice to Reverence Winters Heart. To be personally chosen by two international judges from such a large entry is an achievement we will never forget.

One of the most special parts of the weekend was watching Winnie and Dream Fever compete side by side in the same class. These two have spent so much time battling it out for the top placings, and seeing them both achieve such incredible success made the results even more meaningful.
