Kingsley Schmidtke

I have been involved in the Cat Fancy since 1980, showing my first Burmese whilst starting High School. It wasn’t long until my involvement included running annual shows, stewarding and being active in a variety of clubs whilst doing my HSC. In 1998 I obtained my OFS Judging Licence, followed soon by my BFM in 2002, to complete the National group 3 class.
Having Bred Burmese, British, Scottish Folds and owned by two Turkish Vans, I retired from breeding in 1999. In 2022 I extended my Judging licence to include the beautiful Group 1 Breeds and currently finalising my Group 2 course. I am currently a National Group 3 Tutor Judge and also Vice President of the ACF Judges Guild. I feel lucky that I have the privilege of sharing my love for Felines with other likeminded people and have friendships I have made from all around the world.
