About Us
Hello and welcome.
My name is Sylvia, together with my Husband Roy, We breed Persians and Exotics under the prefix Sylbridge. We are located in Rowville, The Eastern Suburbs of Victoria, in Australia, near the beautiful Dandenong Ranges,
We became interested in Persians when we lost our Persian cross pet "Muffin" in 2000 when he passed away, We missed him so much, During Muffins time with us we found Persians to be very laid back cats who love to be indoors and in human company, Every evening Muffin slept on my lap. Later in 2000 when we were spending some time with our family in England and still missing Muffin, Roy found an advertisement in a local newspaper, "Pedigree Persians Kittens for Sale". Roy got on the phone and asked the breeder if she had any kittens still available. We went to visit the breeder, to which presented us a beautiful Tortoiseshell, During our visit we chatted about Persians and showed one another photographs, 2 1/2 hours later we left with our beloved Supusha Kassandra, to the family Sophie. Our Family returned to Australia in 2001 bringing Sophie with us. We joined the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy in mid 2001, and showed Sophie on the show bench for a year and gained the title of Champion. Sophie who now at the age of 9 has been retired from being a Mother , and is now a lady of leisure, but is still and always will be our dearly loved companion and family member, who happily sleeps on our bed, is Queen of the household and keeps the younger cats in line. Sophie has been a wonderful Mother having given us many beautiful kittens from 5 births, especially in Champion Sylbridge Kassandra's Angel, to the family Kassie, who won Supreme in show as a kitten, under Judge Mrs. Rae Ealey GCCFV, to which we thank very much. Our Sophie is now enjoying life as a neuter. Roy and I would like to thank Sue & Paul Sharkey in Cornwall, England for allowing us to have her and to bring her to our home Australia.
Our First Exotic was Delmont Lucky Strike, a Brown Tabby Classic, who came to us from South Australia, to the family he is known as Mackers, the scarab M on his forehead gave us his name, the golden arches of McDonalds. Mackers, has been in shows and has gained the title of Gold Champion, He has also sired some of our kittens, with the next generation of Exotics coming along in his Son, Grand Champion Sylbridge Strike it Lucky, who is solid Black, and Granddaughter, Sylbridge Lucky Island Girl, a Tortoiseshell, and this year 2009 and beautiful Black Smoke little girl , to which is yet un named, but has heaps of personality. We grew a love of Exotics because they also have the laid back temperament of Persians, Exotics became a tailor made breed many many years ago, as breeders found that people were interested in a shorter coats to manage, but wanted the Persian temperament,
Our breeding Persians and Exotics are PKD tested and are available to kind loving homes, are raised in the family home, and well socialized, Litter trained, Vaccinated, Microchipped, and Desexed and are available to go to their Furrever homes around the age of 12 weeks, and come with a Kitten pack of goodies. Kittens for breading will only be available to breeders registered with a Governing Body.
Roy and I would like to thank :
Wendy for allowing me to use her beautiful stud male, Wellington to which we would not have our beautiful Persian Kassie, And for her wonderful giving nature with her advise on her many years of knowledge breeding and showing, has given us great advise in our early learning stages.
To Evelyn, A Judge for many years, and very dear friend who also has passed on her knowledge of 30 + years of showing and breeding on to many, who sadly is now retired from Judging in November 2006, but certainly not from the cat world, Evelyn also allowed us to have (now) Gold Champion Frelyn Mr Toff-ee our Cream Persian.
To Angela & Terry of Cassanova Boarding Kennel & Cattery, Dixions Creek, for their friendship and allowing us to have Melbarose Sweet Lilli Lady, Cream Exotic, who has produced so lovely natured kittens, including our "Tessa" Sylbridge Lucky Island Girl.
To all our cat world friends, Evelyn, Robyn & Husband Peter and family, Wendy & Husband Gerhard and family. Brian & Jason, Angela & Husband Terry. also our Children, Chris, Lisa & Tracey for their patience and support with our hobby.

Sylvia & Roy
