 Welcome

 

      

 
 We are a family of cat lovers and began our search for a new kitten in 2006 after our eldest daughter moved out with the family cat in tow. After researching different cat breeds, as well as visiting breeder homes, we discovered Birmans and fell in love with them. The modern and legendary history of this wonderful breed is shrouded in mystery, and was once called the “Sacred Cat of Burma”.
 
The Birman is a semi long haired, average sized color point cat with silky rabbit like fur, gentle temperament and beautiful blue eyes. The combination of light body, color points and four white paws (gloves and laces) gives a striking contrast. We wanted a cat that required minimal grooming, was playful, and people oriented. We found it all in the Birman.
 
Soon after buying our first Birman, my daughter and I became interested in showing and breeding as a hobby. A longstanding fascination with genetics from my nursing background came to life, as I considered all the Birman color possibilities and pattern variations.
 
Our cattery is registered with TICA (The International Cat Association). We believe that participation in cat shows is an important responsibility as a breeder. Having our cats evaluated by different judges ensures that we are breeding according to TICA Birman standard, and validates our breeding program. Not all cats like to be shown, so not all will receive titles. We believe, however, that at least one parent of a pedigreed kitten should have a title.
 
In keeping with Birman tradition, kittens are named by the letter of the alphabet that falls on their year of birth.  Dior and DK from Extravagante Birmans, became part of our family in 2006, a “D” year. Their names were chosen in accordance with our designer theme – hence the name BIRSACE BIRMANS. To us, it epitomized the beauty and elegance of this wonderful breed.
 
“Kipper”, our handsome lilac lynx point boy, was also born in mid 2006 and came to us from Zanadu Birmans. He was prenamed “Discombobulated” which means “frustrated”. True to his name, Kipper let us know he was frustrated with the show scene by the time he turned a year old. So, he retired early from shows as a TICA Double Grand Champion, and has turned his attention to romancing the ladies.
 
 
We wish to remain small, and our Birmans live in the midst of our family. They are strictly indoor cats and receive an abundance of love and attention in a cage free environment. Our primary goal is to raise healthy, well socialized pets who will become wonderful companions. In addition to good temperament, we are working toward breeding for deep blue eye color and light body coat. Our preference is lilac and chocolate (dilute colors) as they tend to have lighter coats as they age than blue and seal (traditional colors). We are currently breeding blue Birmans with colorpoint, lynx pattern, but soon plan to integrate seal as well.
 
Birsace Birmans is located in Calgary, Canada
