CLEAR ALLBirman cats are an ancient mystical breed initially known as the Sacred Cat of Burma. They have been adored for generations because of their beautiful markings and lovely, mild temperament. Birmans are medium to large size cats who are easy-going and friendly, making them excellent companions for all ages.
This beautiful cat breed was once beloved by temple monks who saw them as pure-spirited beings. Since then, they have become a popular cat breed found in many countries across the globe. Birman cat owners love their lush, cream-colour coats with darker points, white-gloved paws, and gorgeous sparkling blue eyes.
Moreover, their laid-back, friendly, and highly loving personality makes them an ideal feline companion for seniors. They love to be petted, held and will cuddle for hours in the arms of their owner.
If you talk to a Birman cat, they will respond in a soft, cute voice, a stark contrast to the loud Thai or Siamese cats. They are less active than some cat breeds, but they have a playful side, too.

Birman’s have a distinct look due to their long silky fur, deep blue eyes, and contrasting markings. They are medium to large, usually weighing between seven and 12 pounds. Birmans look most similar to Siamese cats, but they have a more robust build, white feet, and come in various colours.
Their white feet is an iconic trait as all Birmans with the G/G genotype will have four clearly defined white feet with a glove-like pattern. Some Birmans, though, will have an N/N or N/G genotype, which means they do not have these ‘white gloves’.
Birmans are a colourpoint breed, referring to the pale-coloured body fur and contrasting darker shading on the head, legs, and tail. The classic and most common Birman colour is seal-point, a beige/dark-cream shade with brown markings around the face, ears and other areas.
Other colours you can find a Birman in are blue, lilac, chocolate, red, cream, and even tortoiseshell. No matter their colour, all Birmans will either have the traditional solid pattern or a dramatic lynx pattern. Moreover, like all colourpoint cats, Birmans are born all white and develop their colouring and markings as they grow.
Birmans look fluffy and cuddly, and their fur feels soft and silky to touch. However, they have no undercoat, so their hair doesn’t feel as thick as it looks. Many will have long tufts around the neck, though, and an extra fluffy tail.
Birmans are known for their charming, gentle nature and low maintenance, making them an easy cat breed to care for and a lovely companion animal to have in the home. In addition, they are very even-tempered, so they will not lash out or act unpredictably.
Birmans are definitely one of your lapcat breeds and will curl up with you on the sofa, sleep next to you all night, and take plenty of naps throughout the day too. They are less active than some of the more energetic breeds, but they have a playful side, too, especially in their first few years when they’re still maturing.
Although they look similar to Siamese cats, Birmans are much quieter than the Thai breed. Birmans do not have a loud meow and will speak to you with a soft, gentle chirp instead. They love to be around people and receive pets but will not demand your attention. Moreover, they are pretty independent, so they appreciate some alone time now and again.
As Birmans are very patient, tolerant, and calm, they are a great family pet for homes with young children. However, as a quieter breed, they like a relaxed atmosphere, so they may not be happy in a particularly loud and frantic house.
Considering their lovely nature and lower energy level, Birmans are a fab choice for older people who live on their own or first-time cat owners. They are also best for multi-pet homes. Therefore, if you're looking to add another furry friend to your family but worry they won’t get on with your other pets, a Birman is an excellent choice.

Neo
Russian Blue
We had some concerns purchasing a kitten online but our experience with The Pedigree Paws was great. They connected us with Caroline, the Russian Blue breeder and we had many conversations and received multiple pictures and videos. She answered to all our questions.
The Pedigree Paws verified for us all the vaccinations and health checks to make sure our new kitten was 100% healthy.
Thank you for all your help The Pedigree Paws! Highly recommended!
Jack
Miniature Dachshund
One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!

Athena
Chihuahua
It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena. Thank you, The Pedigree Paws, for being truthful and transparent.
