My name is Lesley Gaze and I was born an animal lover. I was raised in the country on a lifestyle block surrounded by my constant companions, the animals. They were my friends and confidantes, they knew all my secrets and never told a soul. I still feel closer to my animals than most people. The cats love me unconditionally and are always so pleased to be with me - they are my friends.
I have been a breeder and trainer of quarter horses for several years and I first registered as a breeder of Birman and Exotic Shorthair cats in 2001. As my interest in cats and breeding grew, horses were slowly replaced by cats and eventually I sold my last horse to concentrate on my growing family of cats...
I now live on a lifestyle block in Margate, Tasmania, with my husband Andrew and our two children Brett and Nathan. Our extended family of animals includes a miniature cow, a Dalmation dog and my family of cats. As my interest and knowledge grew, so did the quality of the cats I was breeding. I breed for soundness of health, temperament and a pleasing appearance. My cats are consistently placing in the show ring including at a national level. I am always striving for perfection - even though I know that this can never be reached! |
