OUR PAST
IN MEMORY OF
Deli
CCCA Diamond Triple Grand Champion, NSWCFA Gold Double Grand Champion,
ACT Triple Grand Champion CALOOLA ADELWIES.
30.10.93 to 6.12.11 (Eighteen years, six weeks of age.)
Deli was our most successful show cat, still winning Best in Show at ten years of age. Being a Chinchilla Exotic was no disadvantage to her on the Show Bench. She took on all other breeds and colours and won. Deli was the perfect show cat, she had the sweetest nature imaginable, you could do anything with her and she never complained.
Card writers used to complain that it took too long to write her name lol !!! Well, it was a mile long!
She was amazing, when we took her to shows she would be as quiet as a mouse all the way home and as soon as we turned into our street we would hear her little voice, she knew she was home.
Deli was one of the very first Exotics on the Show Bench in Australia in the mid nineties, long before the breed became as popular as it is today. We are proud to share Delis major achievements below. Deli graced the cover of many cat magazines and catalogues and appeared in many newspaper articles and on TV. She was a regular Best in Show Winner at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, one of a kind and certainly well ahead of her time.
To this day no other Silver Persian or Exotic in Australia has achieved as much. We are proud to say Deli was a big part of Caloola Silvers history and Silver history in general.

Otto
CCCA Champion, NSWCFA Gold Double Grand Champion, ACT Triple Grand Champion Caloola Otto
1994 to 2005.
Otto was a lovely big cat with a pleasant nature and the most intense eye colour. He enjoyed going to shows and in his role as a stud cat produced many beautiful babies, some of whom went on to become show cats and winners as well. Otto was one of a litter of seven and his two brothers were equally as nice but different. One was sold as a Stud Male and the rest of the litter went to Pet homes. I later saw the brother sold as a Pet and was sorry I had not kept him. He was gorgeous. Otto represented his brothers very well.

Whisper
CCCA Champion, NSWCFA Gold Double Grand Champion Caloola Just a Whisper.
1994 to 2011. (Sixteen and a half Years)
Whisper was a Shaded Silver Persian who was succesfully shown as an entire female and once she was spayed she accompanied Deli to many shows.
Deli used to most often win over Whisper but there were occasions when the awards were reversed. One year at the Sydney Royal Easter Show a judge who was not known for her love of either Exotics or Silvers placed Deli second. I was happy enough with this and thought Whisper had missed out on this ring. Deli had won the other ring and Whisper was placed second. Imagine my surprise when this judge went on to name Whisper as her BEST EXHIBIT over Deli and several other persians etc.

LuLu
NSWCFA Gold Double Grand Champion Caloola Lulu
1997 to 2012 (Fifteen Years)
Lulu was a sweet little Chinchilla Persian who was never any trouble.
She enjoyed being shown and loved her food.
Lulu was not a big girl but she did not take any nonsense from any other cat
and her size did not prevent her winning. Only one Judge from Interstate ever
held her back for size.
NSWCFA BRONZE SILVER GOLD DOUBLE GRAND CHAMPION
LULU WAS A MULTIPLE BEST IN SHOW WINNER
BEST CAT IN SHOW AND A RUNNER-UP TO SUPREME EXHIBT
SADLY MISSED
We are Proud of our Past and what our Cats have managed to achieve on the Show Bench. We have had some amazing Cats and can only show a few here but we dedicate this Page to all of them. A Big Thank You to all the Judges who placed our cats so highly.
Our past awards speak for themselves, our achievements have still not been surpassed by Silvers currently being bred and shown in Australia.
