Francesca Gagern
TICA Speciality Judge
I breed Maine Coons under the catteryname Tuscaloosa since 1995. I started to show in FiFe, but very soon I switched over to TICA when Austria´s first TICA club, the BDCC, was founded.
I then got interested in the clerking program and soon entered the judges program as well. I got licensed as a TICA judge in 2002 and I am an approved SP judge right now and hope to get licensed as Probationary Allbred next year. I am also a Maine Coon judge in traditional.
In the “real” life I work for a US medical company as Sales and Key Account Manager and I live and work in Vienna.
I love judging cat shows, as I just enjoy to handle all the different cats – there are some other breeds beside the MC I really love, so judging them gives me some shared moments with them.
I always like to judge in the UK, because I see a nice variety of breeds and the exhibitors are so enthusiastic and really enjoy the show! And I enjoy the beautiful landscape ! So I am looking forward to meeting all of you soon !
Best,
Francesca
