Our dear Howdy Doody was recently diagnosed with FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). Until recently this was a death sentence and over the many years of breeding, we have lost several cats and kittens to this disease. In particular we lost Golden Seal Tai Ming ("Tai") in 1996. However, since 2020 there have been advances in treatment and there are now hopes of a permanent cure and recovery from this pernicious disease. Here he is ready for his first shot.

Cattery Diary

Read about some of the happenings of Golden Seal Birmans in our Cattery Diary section

Many current events are also posted on Facebook at Golden Seal Birmans.

Cat Profiles

In our Profiles section we highlight some of the Birmans who have enriched our lives over these many years.

Birman Tails

People ask us how we can bear to part with such cute kittens. We tell them that we view our Birmans as missionaries going forth to convert new families to Birmandom. 

Read some "tails from the missionaries" in our Birman Tails section.

Birman Resources

 Here are some resources for all things Birman.

Experienced Birmans

An Experienced Birman is what we call an older cat; sometimes retired from the breeding program, sometimes from the show circuit, sometimes because their previous owners can no longer provide a home.

An Experienced Birman can be a good first Birman or, indeed, could remain a single companion for cat-lovers who are not ready for the exuberance and unpredictability of a kitten, but who want a faithful companion with an established personality to match their own situation.

Here are some Birman Tails from Experienced Birmans whom we have placed.
