What are Birman cats like?

Birman cats are a highly affectionate and loving breed. Weighing between 7-14 pounds and up to 18 inches in length, they are large, sturdy cats. Birmans have long, silky fur in a pointed pattern. Registered Birman breeders will have kittens for sale in frost, blue, chocolate, seal, red, cream, cinnamon, lilac, and fawn among other variations.

Birman cats are known to be easygoing and gentle, making them a great companion for families with children or dogs. When considering a Birman for your family, it’s important to note that given their build they can be prone to weight gain and need regular exercise. Birmans also prefer not to be alone, so a furry companion should be considered if your house is often empty.

FAQs when considering Birman cats

How much do Birman cats cost?

As a sought-after breed, Birman kittens for sale cost between $700 and $1,500. A cat’s price is based on its pedigree, coat quality, age, health and vaccination history. If an Birman cat’s parents are show-winning, they can be even more expensive.

What should I ask to choose the right Birman breeder?

While there are many people who claim to be ethical Birman breeders, not all hold a standard that you can feel great about. Asking some relevant questions about their philosophy will ensure you avoid Birman breeders that do this only for financial gain, not having the interests of the cats or you in mind. Make sure you ask about:

  • Health history of the parents and vaccinations. They should have their first vaccinations by the time they're adopted.
  • Whether they've bred their Birmans with other breeds (they should disclose this and it would make it not a purebred lien.
  • Have the socialized the kitten among other kittens?
  • Do they belong to a Birman breed club? You can ask for references from the club.

Why does it matter if I buy from a registered Birman breeder?

When you buy from a registered Birman breeder (with either their local club, governing body, or TICA), that ensures that a standard of care and expertise is enforced. You can ask them about a wide range of topics such as the Birman’s genealogy, the right kitten for you, common health problems with Birmans to look out for. We offer additional registration through our Cat Kingpin Certified program as well, although it's not a replacement for other registrations.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
