Available/Retired Adults
Occasionally we have an adult Birman who is often a retired show and/or breeding cat that we are looking to place in a "furrever" home. We do not have dogs or children but since these cats are usually retired show cats they are used to travel and being handled by strangers.
These cats usually acclimate very well into a home with no other cats and will often take to a kitten quite quickly. When trying to acclimate an adult cat into a home with another adult cat it can take time and patience. We say "Birmans love the one they're with" and that is true. They seem to love everyone!
A RETIRED BREEDING CAT IS NOT A RESCUE STORY
Retired breeding cats from responsible breeders aren’t being “saved.” These cats have been deeply loved and cared for their entire lives. They were chosen with purpose, raised with attention, and treated like family, not just breeding animals. Ethical breeders invest their hearts into these cats: they know their personalities, their quirks, their favorite toys, and what comforts them. Many sleep in the breeder’s bed, get constant attention, and are doted on from day one. When a cat retires, it isn’t because they weren’t wanted. It’s because they’ve completed their role in the program, and the breeder wants them to enjoy the next chapter, one where they can soak up all the attention in a home of their own. Their move isn’t a rescue; it’s a loving transition into a new life where they get to be the center of someone’s world.
RESCUE CATS, on the other hand, often come from shelters, the streets, or difficult situations WITH NO BREEDER TO FALL BACK ON… they truly need saving and a second chance.
Both breeders and rescues do wonderful, important work, but the situations are VERY different.
A retired breeder isn’t being saved, they’re being celebrated. They’re moving from a home where they were cherished to another home that will spoil them just as much. It’s not a rescue story; it’s a love story with a new chapter.
