About us
My name is Simone Mader, I live in Germany, in the south of Hamburg. My love to the persians began on a show in Freiberg, I was 10 years old. I saw a blue Persian and I had been overly enthusiastic about his big innocently looking eyes and his gorgeous coat. But some years had to pass by.
1984 my parents and I moved to Hamburg. The thought at a Persian grew. I bought many books and became aquainted with this breed and deepened my knowledges. In November 1986 my 1st persian cat moved in our house and became a member of our family, his name was Moritz v. Bodenteich. He was a silver-tabby with green eyes. He was a dear boy, and he neither liked exhibitions or driving with the car. In 1991 we moved in the municipality Seevetal-Maschen, 25 km from the city of Hamburg.
At the age of 15 years
and 10 months Moritz had deceased. The pain was
very big! Some time passed by
and a cream male persian got part of our lives,
his name is
CFA PR/WPR By Sullivans Moses of Silverdance. We noticed quickly, our Moses was bored, he needed a play-companion and so a dream came true. Finally a blue persian male and in addition also a smoke persian,
CFA CH/WCH My Fantasy´s Blue Ice Sensation of Silverdance, we call him BlueIce, was going to share his live with us. Our love to the persian cats became major, so my mother Inge and I adopted another black-tortie-smoke persian female,
CFA CH/GEC Estagel Candygirl of Silverdance, we call her Candy. With the mating of BlueIce and Candy we received our first smoke litter. For the further breed we kept
CFA CH/GEC Silverdance Alice, a very promising black smoke girl and from her our male
CFA CH/GEC Silverdance Charmer In The Night (black) and our black-smoke male
CFA GP/WPR Silverdance Cloud Dreamer, after he was send back from the breeder out Canada. Dreamer was very successful by CFA, he is also our first CFA GRAND.

CFA CH & PR/GEC Pele Mele's Silver Sunshine On Ice of Silverdance, is calling Sunny, she should enrich our shaded-cameo breeding, but after a genetic blood test by LABOKLIN we found out that the breeder of the cattery "Pele Mele", me on purpose, sold a red-smoke female.
The certificate of LABOKLIN you can viewed here.

Unfortunately, we had to take Sunny from the breeding, she had a lot of uterine inflammation. Only good, we kept for our breeding program her only one Kitten

CFA SILVER CH/GEC Kikiland Folie B of Silverdance a blue-cream female came to us in 2010, a very promissing female, she fulfilled our dream in blue-cream-smoke with
CFA BRONZE CH/GEC Silverdance Jewel. Jewel was very successful with only 2 CFA shows.

In December 2017 arrived TICA RW QGC/GIC Kranewitter Scarlett of Silverdance, a tortie persian female, to us at home. Scarlett was of 2 TICA shows very successfully. She was our first TICA Regionalwinner. Unfortuanely, in April 2018 she shown a breath problems, and she must go in vet hospital in the emergency room. She was in a oxygen tent. The breeder couldn't accept it, Scarlett should stay at home. The diagnose was shattering. Scarlett was very sick: Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), SAM (systolic anterior motion), mitral regurgitation, aortic constriction, compensated trachycardia. Scarlett went back to the breeder, she paid me back the price for the cat, but not the transport costs and also not all for vet hospital. The bad story, video, documents of the vet hospital Lüneburg about Scarlett is to see online.

In August 2020 came to us our red female GIC Cleyniko's Fairy Tale of Silverdance. She is a sweety naughty lovely female, which takes new vortex to our cattery. Unfortunately I have not been able to exhibit her in 2020/2021 it so far because of Corona. Fairy doesn't like ring judging, so I will only show her conventionally, at all her shows she unanimously won Best in Show. I tried again with Fairy at the TICA Show in Znojmo/CZ in April 2023, she made it to the final and became TICA Champion.
Out her 1st litter with our male TICA RW SGC / GEC Silverdance Rendezvous For Night, born 08/2021, we will keep our red-smoke male Silverdance Ice Teddy Bear. Teddy was already very successful as a kitten at 2 TICA shows in Holzminden/Germany and Give/DK, a promising young male. At 8.5 months he became TICA Double Grand Champion at his 1st TICA show in the Championship / Asperen - Netherlands, and at 9.5 months he won at the conventional show of Felidae e.V. in Hamburg/Germany 3x Best of Best and BEST OVERALL.

His brother FIFE IC Silverdance Tango Fire of Carmello (red) made his TICA Supreme Grand Champion in 02/2023 and on the end of the show season 2022/2023 Regionalwinner.
The two younger brothers, born 08/31/2022,
Silverdance Unique Moments of BohemianAgape (red-smoke, lives in CZ) and
Silverdance Unforgettable Robin of D'Aslan (cream-smoke, lives in Arizona with the TICA Allbreed judge Sandi Lee Mattingly) are TICA Regionalwinner as kittens.
For Teddy I bought me a really cameo persian female, agouti status Aa,
IC Remilakat Tuppence of Silverdance. So I am looking forward of her offspring.
Our task stands for breeding beautiful, lovable and healthy Persians in smoke and solid. Our slogan always stands for: Quality before Quantity. To the breed do not only belong the mating, birth and upbringing, every breeder should get knowledges in genetics, too. On my website I show you information about the breedstandard of persians with coloured pictures, text and the genetic code.
An article about the smoke / shaded breeding and about the Pewter breeding was made available to me in 03/2021 by Ed Merchant, Cattery Remilakat in UK, which I translated into German and to find of the german website and may use with his permission. In this way, a big thank you to Ed.
Ed and I have discussed a lot about smoke and cameo-shaded/shell breeding, and we agree, as the GCCF, FIFé, TICA and CFA themselves discuss in their breeding guidelines that a shaded or shell is an agouti cat and a smoke is a non-agouti cat.
Since 2008 I have been trying to convey to smoke and cameo breeders which agouti status is necessary to breed "real" cameos. Many "cameo" breeders only go for the silver part, but if I mate smoke with smoke often enough and that over several generations, they will always have a higher silver part and then look like a phenotype, like a cameo, but genetically, called genotype, they are smoke cats. Cameo is the short form of cameo-shaded or also called red-silver-shaded at FIFe. So why should a red-silver-shaded cat be genetically different from a black-silver-shaded cat?

Our retired cats are staying forever with us at home. I could never give them up like many breeders do.
All our cats can go free in the
whole house, also our males. Our cats like the summertime
most, they love it to have breakfast outside on our
terrace.
Our cats are our
children and they are very spoiled. Who
can disagree these big
asking eyes. Our
cats tested negative for are FIV / FELV and PKD1 & pd-PRA DNA. All our cats are scanned HCM negative
We give them a regular (periodical) deworming and inoculation to prevent Panleukopenia, Feline rhinotracheitis Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirosis (RCP) and Rabies.
I am member of CFA and TICA, and Felidae e.V. and all my cats are registered by CFA and by TICA. Until 31th August 2008 I had been also a member of the german cat club RVDE e.V. and until to End of 2019 a conveying member of Catfriends of Germany (both cats club are closed). Our cattery was distinguished on 10th February 2007 with the title of the RVDE Quality Seal.
We go in the show season constantly to shows, across Europe and show our persians by the CFA, TICA and of conventional shows.
