Adopting a Birman kitten from us is a thoughtful and personal experience. Our goal is to ensure that every kitten finds a loving, lifelong home where they are cherished and well cared for.
We are selective and I think you should be too. This is a relationship which should last several generations. We have had repeat clients who come back and add new members to their families many years later and so for this to work, it's about trust and mutual respect. We are not your basic breeder where after a kitten is delivered, the deal is done. Our deal lasts for a lifetime, and sometimes even beyond.

When things go right, we want to hear about it. When things go wrong, we want to hear about. You will have lifelong support, from the mundane "of what comb should I buy" to the more serious issues related to health and behavioral concerns.

Please remember: If you are considering a Birman from us, you will need to have a "FELINE" cat companion in your home. Birmans will become extremely lonely if they do not have a constant companion. It does not need to be a Birman companion, but we evaluate the personalities of both cats (based on your information), to match the cats. THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE !
Our kittens are available at 16+ weeks old. We don't have a formal waiting list, we don't do reservations upfront (unless we already know the person), we don't take deposits. We sell our cats/kittens on a first come, first serve basis.

Step 1 - Get in Touch
Start by contacting us through email. Please tell us a bit about yourself, your home, and why you're interested in a Birman kitten. We love to get to know future families personally.
If our goals align, we want to talk ! We will schedule a phone or video call to get to know each other better and then, we mutually decide if we are a good fit. I use Telegram or WhatsApp for Video calls.

Step 2 - Plan for a cattery visit and meet the kitties and us
We require future pawrents to visit us and our kitties home. We want to make sure you can see the environment where and how our kittens are raised and kept and meet the mother and the father of our kittens. By visiting us and the kitties we make sure you make the best possible informed decision.

Step 3 - Matchmaking
Each kitten has its own personality. We take time to match you with the right kitten - whether you're looking for a calm companion, a playful spirit, or a show-quality Birman.
If you fall in love with one of our cats or kittens during your visit, and depending on your location, we can do a formal or informal reservation. If the kitten/cat is already old enough and ready to move, you can take the kitten home with you.

Step 4 - Reservation, contract and payment
Normally we don't do reservations, but if we decide to make an exception, we require a deposit of $ 300.00 which is NON refundable. This ensures your kitten is held exclusively for you and not offered to other families. If the buyer changes their mind for any reason, deposits will be considered payment for boarding, grooming and lost opportunities.
Prior to any payment, both parties will sign a sales contract.

If you take the kitten home with you after your visit, you will get a sales contract, Tica registration papers, pedigree, kitten bag, and the health records of the individual cat or kitten from my vet. Our payment terms are cash on delivery. I do NOT accept money order, Venmo, ACH, personal checks or Paypal.

Step 5 - Pick-up or hand delivery after your visit
You can pick up at my home in Pickens, SC at no additional charge once the kitten is ready to move.
White Glove Delivery by Vehicle: For those who prefer a more personalized experience, I can offer hand delivery of your kitten for an additional fee (depending on the location, if a overnight is needed and if you are a repeat pawrent).
White Glove Delivery by Air: needs to be discussed

Browse through my homepage, most questions you might have will be answered there.

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.

If we are not the breeder for you, we appreciate you stopping by, and we wish you well in your continued search.
