Adriana Kajon was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina where she grew up and received her early education.

Although cats had always been part of her life, she started participating actively in the Argentine cat fancy in 1981 after several years of breeding and showing Doberman Pinchers, including the first Doberman in Argentina ever to win Best In Show.  Over the years she has served as a member of the Argentine Feline Association's (AFA) Board of Directors, as editor of AFA's monthly Bulletin, and as Vice President of the Siamese Cat Club. The results of her pioneering work with the Cornish Rex breed are still evident today in South America.

She shares her home with a lovely silver Maine Coon spay, Tonkinese, and Singapuras, which she is presently breeding.

In 1988 Adriana became an Allbreed Judge for FIFe.  In 1991 Adriana joined TICA, and entered the Judging
program in 1992.  Adriana became the Association's youngest Approved Allbreed Judge.  She is a TICA-licensed Genetics Instructor, Judging School Instructor, and Ring Training Instructor, plus a member of TICA's Genetics Committee.  Adriana is a member of the Enchanted Cat Club in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she has Co-Chaired the CEU Fiesta (a weekend of Continuing Education Units for TICA Judges, Trainees and Exhibitors) for six years, in addition to developing and presenting advanced-level seminars for it each year.

Adriana is a Co-Founder of ICAT, the International Cat Agility Tournaments, which has brought a beautiful performance sport to the cat show world, while at the same time emphasizing the development of a close owner-cat relationship.

Adriana has an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry, and two Ph.D.s in Virology.  She is currently doing research in viral pathogenesis at Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
