From the breeder:

Several years ago, when looking for a companion for one of our cats, we discovered Birmans. After researching the breed, we felt that their quiet, gentle manner was what we were looking for. We are a small cattery. Our cats are strictly indoor animals. For maximum sociability, they are all treated as our pets. They do not live in cages or pens, but have the run of our home.

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.
