What We Expect When You Contact Us

We want every kitten to join a loving, responsible home. To make sure we find the right match for both you and our cats, we kindly ask for a few things when you reach out:

"A Genuine Interest in Our Cats"
When you contact us, we love hearing from people who share our passion for cats.
Please contact us only if you're truly interested in learning more about our cats, kittens, or future litters.
We're always happy to answer questions - but we appreciate thoughtful, sincere inquiries.

"Introduce Yourself"
Take a few minutes to write out a paragraph or two of introduction! Tell me your name, where you live, and some of your prior cat or other pet experience.

"Do some research"
What Birman look do you like? What color? Please remember we specialize in blue and lilac in solid and lynx - afterall, there are a wide variety of color, looks and personality out there.
Too often, a Birman interested person just writes to every breeder they can find, looking for kittens. To me, this tells me you just want whatever you can find that's available. Therefore, I do not have a waiting list and don't take deposits.

"Be willing to wait and be realistic"
Our kittens are raised with love and attention, and we place them only in homes that share our values.
Sometimes there may be a waiting period before kittens are available. We believe that the right kitten is always worth the wait.
Please - have some patience! Rarely, if ever, will a breeder have something nice available right that second. You have to be prepared to wait... 6 months... a year... who knows? Too many people, new breeders and pet buyers alike, are into "instant gratification" - they move on to another breeder, wanting something "right now". If you've done your research and found a cattery or catteries you like, then be willing to wait.

"Prove Yourself" - How?

Through Consistency
The strongest proof of character or intention isn't words - it's actions repeated over time. Being reliable, keeping promises, and showing up when you say you will quietly builds trust far more than any speech can.

Through Honesty and Transparency
Admitting mistakes, being open about your intentions, and communicating sincerely all prove maturity and integrity. Whether it's with a breeder, a friend, or an employer - people value truthfulness more than perfection.

Through Effort and Patience
Real proof takes time. Consistency and patience show seriousness - whether you're earning trust, working toward a goal, or trying to be seen differently. Quick gestures rarely convince; quiet persistence does.
We'd like to see some signs of serious commitment throughout the adoption process.

Through Responsibility
Taking care of things - pets, commitments, people - demonstrates reliability.
For example, in a breeder's context, proving yourself as a good cat owner means preparing your home, understanding the breed, and being ready to provide lifelong care.

Through Respect
Respect for others - time, boundaries, and expectations is one of the clearest proofs of good character.

Through Actions that Align with Words
Nothing proves someone more powerfully than integrity - when what you say and what you do match perfectly.

PRIOR to any inquiry, please make sure to visit my Kitteninfo and Available Kittens page.
I prefer an introduction email before a call and we can go from there.

With this in mind,
