Requirements for breeders

The breeder must be a registered Sacred Birman breeder and have a registered cattery name with a pedigree-registering cat organisation.
The breeder must state the club or organisation with which the cattery name and breeding activity are registered.
Information on the list must be correct and up to date. Changes in contact details or cessation of breeding must be reported to Birmakredsen.
The breeder must comply with applicable law and the rules of the organisation in which the cats are registered.
Information about health, testing, breeding and kittens must be factual and not misleading.

Requirements for kittens and litters

Only pedigreed Sacred Birman kittens may be advertised on the kitten list.
The litter must be from a registered breeder with a registered cattery name.
When submitting a litter, the breeder must state the pedigree-registering organisation and the litter’s pedigree or registration information.
Kittens must be placed in accordance with the current rules of the organisation in which they are registered and applicable law.
The list should reflect current status as accurately as possible. Breeders must therefore notify Birmakredsen when kittens are reserved, sold, or the litter should no longer be shown.

Verification and publication

Look at the whole cat — Explanatory graphics

Birmakredsen may request documentation of a registered cattery name, club/organisation affiliation and pedigree registration. Submitted information is only published once the requirements are considered fulfilled and payment has been registered.

Payment alone does not guarantee listing. The Birmakredsen may reject or remove a breeder or litter if the information does not meet guidelines, is misleading, or is no longer accurate.

What the list is not

Simplified family tree — Explanatory graphics

A place on Birmakredsen’s breeder or kitten list is not an individual guarantee or endorsement of a particular transaction, cat or breeder. Buyers should always ask questions, review documentation and assess whether the breeder and kitten are suitable for the home the cat will move to.

Our principles

Information with different roles — Explanatory graphics

The cat’s health and welfare come before shows, breeding plans and prestige.
Buyers should receive honest information, advice and support.
Kittens should grow up safely and socially and be placed responsibly.
Breeders should continuously keep their knowledge of the breed, health, genetics and welfare up to date.

Birmakredsen has no members. Payment for a listing is solely for administration and publication on the website.

First aid is also part of responsible breeding

Birth and newborn kittens can go from normal to emergency in minutes. Our new breeder guide builds on RECOVER’s 2025 guidelines for neonatal resuscitation and 2026 first aid.
