Just a warning to all of you out there looking for a Birman cat or kitten. There is a proliferation of scam Facebook sites offering Birmans for the holidays. There are a limited number of actual Birman breeders, and we know most of them. Be cautious and check with a known, reputable breeder before engaging with someone. Same rules apply as any new internet relationship..don’t trust until verified.

Howdy is proud to announce that his dad, Paul, whose business is building websites for others, has finally created a new web site for us all here at Golden Seal Birmans. Dad says that if you like our new web site (https://GoldenSeal.net) and need one for yourself or your small business you can send us a note and he can make that happen for you, too! We are reopening our Cattery Diary feature so if you want to follow Howdy's health situation and activities of others then check in. If you have a Golden Seal Birman and would like to contribute to the Birman Tails section then you can also do so. Use the contact form.. Even though we have retired from breeding we still have 5 of our Birmans left living with us as "lifers" as we call them. Also mom plans to show some of the new colors (mainly cinnamon and fawn) to keep her hand in and visit with her friends at cat shows and keep a check on the pulse of the Birman universe. See you around the net!! Bye for now, Howdy
