YFEP Congratulates Our Regional Winners

By: Cathy Dunham, Program Co-Chair

Our young people completed a full show season in style by completing a variety of activities. The support shown by the fancy has been overwhelming and greatly appreciated by the kids as they have shown their feline companions, worked alongside show committees to produce shows, made presentations in the community, hosted fund raising events for orphaned animals after a storm, stewarded, clerked, or hosted food drives for a local shelter. All these activities show the cat fancy in a very positive light to general public.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the regional winners for YFEP.

 This year these kids were recognized for their accomplishments at regional celebrations across the country. During those celebrations we asked the Regional Directors to also award the national placements as well since many of our youth are unable to attend the annual in New Orleans. The exception to the national awards being presented is the award for the Highest Overall Achievement in the YFEP program, which will be presented at the delegates meeting to a very deserving young person. When you see these youth, please let them know you support their activities and achievements.

 

The committee would like to extend a huge Thank You to Royal Canin for making the program possible and to all the supporters of the program for making it a place in which tomorrows exhibitors/breeders can explore the cat fancy at their own pace and find the areas in which they excel.

Our Kitties, Esp Our Retirees

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to share a few things with you. First we absolutely reserve the right to NOT place a cat or kitten with you. If we don't feel it is the animals best interests - just because you "want" one, this one, that one  - does by no means we are going to place one with you! We spend the kitties lifetime learning their quirks, habits likes dislikes stress levels, etc. And we will easily keep a kitty rather than place him or her into a situation we feel might not be in their best interests or a permanent loving family home setting and situation.

And 2nd - you need to understand we here at Kender are a family ourselves. We have children, full time out of the home jobs, family, friends and other commitments. If you inquire with us - and it takes a few days to get back with us and you get offended , well tough.  Yes, If I get your email, I will in all likelihood email you back.  Even if it is to say I am sorry but no.  But if you send me a 2nd  email that is snotty , rude or downright hostile - um not only will my answer be NO , but Heck No!

Our kitties get placed with wonderful loving families that become part of our extended family. We have meetups , sometimes our kids get together, sometimes we meetup on Facebook and share and have wonderful conversation yes about non-kitty things.

Life is too short to sweat the small stuff ; and rude nasty inconsiderate people are the small stuff.

If you are waiting, we will have a couple additional litters due end of June. Please check back with us then. Otherwise, we have 3 Adult Females , spayed to place. And are looking forward to a great 2014/15 show season.
