Owned and Magnificently Presented at every show by Kristan Ballantine. Max is a 2 year old cream and white.
His parents are GC Purr Bits Ethel Mertz and GC Purr Bits Mickealangelo (my first 2 Grands!).
Kris bought Max as a pet (he was her only kitty)... she quickly learned how to groom this flashy kid and loved him looking his best. Never having shown a kitty before she embarked on a life changing journey with Max. What started out to be a "We'll see how it works" became an exciting roller coaster ride for the 2 of them!
Max achieved 27 BEST Cats this past year in addition to all the wonderful other placements never below 11th best cat! He has never come home from a show without making a final and has blessed Kris with many rosettes from all over the Eastern United States!
We "Thank" all the judges who consistently used Max!
Over the course of the year, Kris made many new Cat Fancy friends and rarely missed a show hall entrance without a wonderful "homemade pound cake" that we all loved! I am so proud of all she has done, how quickly she learned how to groom her baby and her perseverence in going for the "goal" (which changed throughout the year!) Special Thanks also to Mary and John for your help with Max and to all our friends who encouraged us to "show our cat" and enjoy the ride!
Kris and Max, we love you! A heartfelt thank you on your fabulous year and blessing me with my first home grown Regional Win!!
"Guess you and Max had fun!"
