The Kevalesjondor cattery is proud to have bred and shown such a beautiful boy.
He proved that Isis could produce award winning kittens and we are pleased that
his little brother Jovi has continued his winning ways.

Keva's Shows

Octopussy Tica Show

On October 14th we took Keva to his second TICA show. This was a four ring show. Keva made three finals and was placed 4th in an All Breed Class. 5th in a Shorthaired Speciality class and 8th in a second All Breed Class.

Keva has now gained the title of Double Grand Champion Alter.

His judges made the following comments.

Adriana Kajon "Truly spectacular example of his breed, superb head and ear set, lovely spotting, superb coat, well presented."

Thomas Anderson "A beautiful elegant cat. Egyptian Mau's have to be nicely balanced with subtle power, he fits this perfectly. Good spotting and coat."

Massimo Picardello "Good muscular body, well proportioned, good spotted pattern and good wedge shaped face. A nice strong boy."

Vicky Shields. "Nice cat, good solid well proportioned build, nice coat with good spotting, which was well defined."

Coon Tica

On April 22nd we attended our first TICA show with Keva and Isis. Isis achieved 200 points.

Keva achieved a total of 450 points. He came seventh out of 40 cats in an all breed final and fifth out of 20 in a Short Haired neuter final. One of his American judges spoke to us at the end of the final and stated that he was very good type with good eyes and ear set and very good contrast. She also said we "should be encouraged to continue breeding his mother and continuing the line"

We are pleased to say this now makes Keva a TICA Champion Alter

We are sad to announce that Keva was killed in a road accident on Monday 2nd April 2007.
He is forever in our hearts and minds and will never be forgotten.
He had a short but rewarding show career resulting in being awarded the title of
Double Grand Champion Alter under TICA. But saddest of all for us is the fact we have lost a well loved member of our feline family. He will be sadly missed by all of us.
