This lovely young girl made her first final as an open in Novi (mid March), and picked up 158 points in Pittsburgh a week later (an 8 ring all specialty show). While she got "shut out" in Mansfield, OH the following week, Raisin came back strong to pick up almost 100 points on Saturday in Toledo to complete her grand (2nd Best Longhair Champion in Larry Swanson's Specialty ring, and 2nd Best AB Champion in Gene Darrah's All Breed ring). In Raisin's first show as a grand (Monroeville, PA, May 6-7), she finaled in 6 our of 8 rings, including a Best LH Cat and a 2nd Best Allbreed. Her 470+ points made her second best LH cat in show (out of 81), and 3rd best AB cat in show (out of 124).
Raisin is PKD positive, and after being spayed, was placed in a wonderful pet home 2/4/98.
