Supported by her extensive experience in animal care, as well as her expertise regarding the tortoiseshell-calico colored cats, Ms. Lindley has served as a cattery owner, founder and president of a cat registry and a cat rescue/sanctuary for more than four decades. Born Judith M. Conrow March 1948 to Hazel and Howard Conrow, she was raised in the foothill communities of Altadena and La Canada, graduating from La Canada High School, Class of 1966. She's always had a passion for animals. Judith began her long career with cats in 1968, when she rescued five orphaned kittens. In 1973 she became Mrs. Lindley not only acquiring her second husband but his beautiful tortoiseshell and white colored cat as well. Tri-Color Cattery began in 1974 with a breeding program, for the elusive male tortoiseshell-calico colored cat. In 1977 and 1978 Miss Kitty presented Judith with two male Calico colored cats. One is very unusual but two are very rare. So the breeding program continued for a few more generations, but no other rare occurrences. Armed with the knowledge, gathered along the way, Judith founded Calico Cat Registry International (1978), as a means to educate people about these rare and beautiful cats, while registering cats of qualifying colors. Animal Helpline came along in 1979 as a hot line style advice service and cat rescue shelter. It wasn't until 1983 that Animal Helpline was granted nonprofit status, which enabled it to support the rescued cats through charitable donations. Over the years Judith and Animal Helpline have rescued over 1500 cats and 30 dogs, providing loving homes. Presently Animal Helpline houses older or handicapped cats, several old dogs and the farm animals, including cows, goats, geese, ducks, chickens and an old horse.
Somehow Judith has found time for other endeavors. She has had four husbands and raised four (human) children. She now has grandchildren and great grandchildren. Judith has authored several books, Calico Cat Registry Handbook (1978), On Older Cats (1996), Calicos and Kin (1997) with e-book (2003), The American Geisha (2005) and her most recent offering Calicos and Kin (2018) paperback and revised e-book. She has contributed numerous articles to magazines and newsletters and even had her own newspaper column, Animal Chatter. Along the way, she also picked up a degree in Animal Science from the International Correspondence School (1995) AND has been listed as one of the living authorities on the Tortoiseshell-Calico Cat.
