Grand Champion, Grand Premier, Regional Winner ONE SHOW GRAND!!! Granded 11/28/04  "Sam" is a cream, classic tabby (circular lines) and white, short hair, dimple rumpy, male Manx. His sire is CH, Briar-Brae My Black Sambo, his dam is LaBearer Red Hot Tumalle of Karello. He is full brother, different litter to GC, RW Karello's Sam's I Am of Faerietail, CH, GP Karello's Sam's Bella Luna, GP Karello's Sam's Rum Tum Tugger and half brother to GC, GP, RW Karello's Sam's Son. Sam was a "One Show Grand" at 8 1/2 months old in four rings at the Buffalo, N.Y. show finishing with 314 points. A one show grand and regional win is really something that is rare for the Manx breed at this age. Manx don't usually mature completely until they're two to three years old. Sam did very well showing as a kitten, he finished Kitten Class with 2059.20 points which earned him a 9th Best Kitten Regional Award in my region. Sam is a darling Manx, we adore each other. My dreams of him being a sire were easily put aside when he was spending more time away from me (due to spraying) and less time by my side. So, I neutered him, and now were both much happier. Grand Premier Granded 05/07/2005  "Tugger" is a red classic tabby and white, long hair, rumpy riser, neutered, Manx. His sire is CH, Briar-Brae My Black Sambo, his dam is LaBearer Red Hot Tumalle of Karello, DM. Tugger is full brother, same litter to Sam above, half brother to Samson above and full brother, different litter to Sammy below. He is a silly, sweet Manx fellow whom I made my lap kitty after he achieved his title of Grand Premier. Grand Premier ONE SHOW GRAND!!! Granded 09/06/03  "Re" (pronounced RA) is a silver, neutered, Egyptian Mau. Re's sire is GC, Emau's Kestrel and his dam is Emau's El Shahab, DM. Re came to us courtesy of the generosity of Melanie Morgan of Emau Cattery. Re was a "One Show Grand" at the National Capital show in September 2003. This is quite a feat to accomplish, especially at such a large, competitive show. Re has always been a fantastic ambassador for his breed. He is a much loved pet and companion. Mau's can decide one day they no longer want to show and that is it. * To learn more about these beautiful, regal, intelligent, Egyptian Mau's or inquire about availability, get in touch with Melanie Morgan.

Premier  "Landon" is a brown, mackerel (straight lines) tabby, neutered, registered Devon Rex. His sire is GC, RW Dayclear Snickers of Northshore, his dam is GC, Karmacatz Sophie Kate of Tigerwings. Landon belongs to my son Ethan, he filled the void in Ethan's life when he lost his favortie Manx, Cami. Landon comes to us courtsey of Kathy Rutledge of Tigerwings Cattery whom Ethan loves to steward for and has followed around for quite some time admiring her Devon's. Devon's are a very, very sweet, somewhat calm and a loving breed of cat. They are very people oriented, Landon thinks nothing of spending his whole day in my lap, of course he can't sit still that long. These days, Landon can be found finding all sorts of mischief and acting in the true spirit of his breed. They don't refer to them as acting like Pixies for nothing.

Grand Premier Granded 08/09/03 "Yoda" is white with odd eyes, short hair, dimple rumpy, neuter Manx. His sire is CH, Briar-Brae My Black Sambo and his dam is Slieau's Snow White of Karello. Yoda enjoyed showing in his younger years, but found the breaks from showing were too difficult for him to get back into the swing of things. Yoda is a darling, sweet boy and is always by my side or on my lap. However, it is always on his terms, smart boy! 
Grand Premier Granded 11/23/99 "Rolley" is a brown classic tabby, short hair, dimple rumpy, neutered Manx. Rolley's sire is CH, Briar-Brae My Black Sambo and his dam is Briar-Brae Chi Chi of Karello. Sadly, Rolley is no longer with us but his memory lives on through his brother Tony. Each time a brown tabby kitten is born in our cattery we think of Rolley, Rolley was Karello Cattery's first Grand in CFA. Rolley was a good cat to make my first show cat, his coat length and color was easy to groom, he was patient, loving, enjoyed showing and the attention that came with it. However, he did have his one fault, he will be best remembered for, his nickname which was "Hannibal", he did not like having his hair blown dry..OUCH!  Champion, Premier
"Oliver" is a red classic tabby, dimple rumpy, neuter Manx. His sire is CH, Brair-Brae My Black Sambo and his dam is LaBearer's Lady In Red of Karello. Sadly, Oliver isn't with us anymore. Oliver never lived to become a Grand Premier but he was well on his way when I lost him. In his heart and mine, Oliver was already a Grand Premier, that's all that really matters. Oliver was a very unique cat, he was my favorite cat and best friend, he is still sadly missed.
