Meet Pamela
British Shorthair Breeder, Allbreeds Judge & Cat Breeder Coach
Sharing what I have learned so you can feel confident, have more fun and achieve your cat breeding goals
I know what the stress of being a new cat breeder feels like...
I was there just a few years ago....
JUST LIKE YOU, I WANTED TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
For the past twenty years, I have gone through a lot of self doubt and drama in this hobby.
I just wanted to have fun and to be a good breeder. It's hasn't been easy but I have been able to transform my experience into the positive joy it should have always been.
THE BEGINNING...
I have been breeding cats since 2004 and in that time I have seen a lot of changes in our hobby. Back then we used email group chats, Facebook didn't exist and the Cat Fancy was pretty set in its way.
Over time I realised that there was not a lot of knowledge being shared plus quite a lot of resistance to trying anything new.
The saddest thing I was finding was that there were not many people willing to give up their time to help mentor and guide new breeders.
When I shared my own breeding experiences online I started to get people contacting me with questions. They would start with "I hope you don't mind me asking but no one else will help me..."
From that Cat Breeding For Beginners was born..
HOW THINGS EVOLVED
Now I am happy to help, lets face it, I love it, but I am also a very busy person. I have my own cats plus I exhibit at shows and I'm a cat show judge. I also have my own business outside of cats plus a lot of family commitments.
After answering the same new breeders question for the fourth or fifth time I decided maybe there was a better way to do things.
That led me to creating a YouTube Channel. I have shared videos with tips and guides plus discussed important breeding topics. I also share my own experiences and how I set up my cats areas.
But here is the thing. I made the videos to answer questions and make my life easier. It had the opposite effect. They were so popular and people wanted more but videos take time to film and edit.
That's when I had the great idea of a podcast. That is a lot quicker to put out and I can discuss issues in a bit more depth. It's also easier for you to get the information. You can even listen to it in the car!
It was a huge success. Next came a Stud Cats Mini Course and then my amazing New Cat Breeders Club for Newbie breeders.
I love helping new breeders. It's been fun and very rewarding.
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT...
I never dreamed I could help so many people with so many different breeds all over the world. I just wanted new breeders to have a better experience than I did. Seeing that happen brings me more happiness than you will ever know.
I believe that everyone deserves to enjoy their hobby
And have spent the last four years helping hundreds of new cat breeders just like you to achieve confidence, connections the happiness that breeding cats can bring
My CAT BREEDING STORY
2004
I started my journey with my first breeding cat Poppy. My first litter was from a stud service mating from her breeder. From that litter I kept my first Cuddleton breeding cat, Suzy.
2005
I purchased my first stud cat an amazing boy. I travelled interstate to bring him home. Jackie was an amazing boy and a great show cat.
2007
Henry and Cindy travel to Australia from the UK. They were the first cinnamon carrying British Shorthairs in Australia. Henry was the first fawn British Shorthair registered in the country.
2019
Cuddleton Baron Herbert achieved my highest show placing ever. Best Group 3 Entire Cat at the CCCA National. His grandfather Jackie achieved the same ten years earlier but Herbert placed over twenty eight British Shorthairs.
But as a new breeder, I know you're thinking, "why should I put my trust in you?"
I get it. It is really hard to know who to trust especially if you have be burned by someone you thought was helping you before.
In the cat fancy we hear people say all the time, "you need a mentor". But they are not all created equal, let me tell you!
I have twenty years experience as a super practical cat breeder. That's over one hundred litters of beautiful kittens. All raised by me with love.
But that is not my super power.
I will help you when you need me. When you have a difficult decision, when other breeders are causing you drama, when you just need someone who understands what you are going through.
I have a great teaching style that breaks things down into simple, relatable information that makes sense.
All of this will help you through the confusion and the stress. It will help you to learn and grow into a happy, confident cat breeder. Let me share the joy of our hobby with you.

I really feel like I have grown so much since joining this club, I’m more confident in my decisions and have learnt so much but humble enough to know that there is so much more to learn. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that if I need help I can get it here. So I guess this is a appreciation post to Pamela and everyone in the group for making cat breeding for beginners a beautiful place 😻.
