Prestige Siberian Association

Please welcome Alex Blount our youngest member of The Prestige Siberian Association.

This is a picture of me with my then Siberian kitten, Kravchenko Smokey Gegant of Jaban. It is in black and white because the photo was featured in the Daytona Beach News Journal and that is what they chose, black and white instead of color.
In June 2001, I went to my first show. At that show I was hired as a Ring Steward. A Ring Steward is the person that cleans all of the cages in the show ring. We also remove the numbers from the top of the cages when the judge is finished judging those cats. The Ring Steward works closely with the Judge and the Ring Clerk. In August 2001 at the age of 10, I participated in my first Junior showmanship event. This is an event hosted by CFA. It is an activity that encourages youngsters to become members of the cat fancy. It is a competitive tournament with various stages so that each member can learn.
In July 2002 I started showing my own American Short hair Alter. This is what I wanted, to have experience in preparing grooming and showing a short haired cat. The preparation is quite a bit different than preparing a long haired cat for the show ring.
In February 2003, I got a bit more independent and decided to register my own Siberian Cat pet nursery name of AMAZAR in ACFA and CFA. In December 2003, I made the leap to learn the particulars of becoming a Ring Clerk in ACFA. This is the individual that assists the judge in the ring at a higher level than Ring Steward. The Ring Clerk is responsible for marking the book for all the cats that are being judged. Upon completion of the show the book is then turned over to the Master Clerk and then it is sent to the Central Office to be officially recorded.
In June 2004, I graduated to the stage of being able to independently Ring clerk at an ACFA show. In other words I was on my own to do the job and to do it correctly. I am hoping to be qualified as a Licensed Ring Clerk in the future. Also in 2004 I lent those same talents to TICA.
In April in 2006 I joined a TICA Siberian Cat breed club. In December of 2006 I had the pleasure of registering my very first litter of Siberian kittens in ACFA.
In February 2007 I attended an ACFA show where I was assistant Master Clerk. In August 2007, I attended the ACFA Annual Show held in Kissimmee FL.
In 2008 I decided to set my goals to become an ACFA cat judge. I hope to continue my path in the cat fancy and you can see me at just about every ACFA show in Florida.

Welcome New Breeders

Kravchenko Siberians - Home of Best in Show and Best Kitten in Show inside Russia, would like to invite NEW breeders to join the Prestige Siberian Association (PSA). We are the only Siberian Cat club of its kind in the world! New Siberian Cat breeders will have the opportunity to choose from many diverse bloodlines. Some of these bloodlines are exclusive to Prestige. PSA offers Educational Support. Membership includes a comprehensive marketing plan for promoting this breed and a referral service. The Prestige Siberian Association was formed to help new breeders get started or veteran breeders, that up to now are working with another breed. Even though the selling prices for a Prestige Siberian Cat with breeding rights may be slightly higher than the price of other Siberian cats being sold from other people than Prestige, the advantage is that you get something for the money spent, other than "Best Wishes and Good Luck."
