LA IW SGC Into Wishin Haakon of Epona

Haakon, the first two-time International Winning cat we have owned, and the best part is that he is from our breeding!  Haakon has also earned the Lifetime Achievement award!   Haakon is such a wonderful cat, so heavy and strong with a temperament like a baby kitten.  I really enjoyed showing him - never a hiss or a growl - always happy!  The best part of hanging out with Haakon is being the receiver of his hugs every time I pick him up!   He is an awesome cat!  I miss him now that he is living full time at Epona Cattery and look forward to seeing him again soon.  I think I'll just run past Linda and go hug Haakon next time I go to PA for a visit! ;)  

So very proud of our boy!

RW CH S*Lisjoskogen's Lommond Lad

Lad came to us quite late in the TICA show season however he was so well received in the 2 1/2 shows he attended that he managed to sneak in a RW and become the BOB NFC in our region!  Lad is a big boy with a sweet temperament and his look and everything about him is just gorgeous!   Linda Stebner of Epona Cattery (where Lad lives) and I both want to thank Kicki & Jorgen Johansson so very much for allowing this very handsome cat to come to the US!

RW SGCA Boxerhaven's Felicia of Into Wishin'

Our beautiful 'older lady' Felicia....we are so proud of her!!  We brought her to a show in order to help a club that needed entries back in Sept 2007 and just kept going!  She was received very well and enjoyed showing.  It is so important to get older, more mature forest cats out for the judges to see.  We tend to just show the younger cats while the older ones could be some of the most beautiful forest cats in our homes!
