Burmese Cats
Twenty-five years ago bought a sable burmese cat (from a less than
reputable dealer - but that's another story). Never-the-less, the cat proved to be wonderful, very good with my young children and very well behaved. I just took my 13y/o Siamese to the vet today and she was put down. I'f like to buy a burmese this time but they are very hard to find. I've found a few breeders with WEB pages who seem to be breeding show cats. I suspect the prices are quite high and I've no interest in showing. Does anyone know where I could begin to look for a burmese in a moderate price range. (Moderate to me means less than $150) There are 3 or 4 breeders of Siamese within reasonable driving distance but no burmese. I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks Alan |

Thanks Alan I don't know where you live, but please consider adopting a cat from a shelter or rescue group. You would save the life of a cat and could find a wonderful pet that way. You could begin your search by looking at cats on www.petfinder.com, or you could specifically contact one of the Burmese rescue/rehoming groups.

" Does anyone know where I could begin to look for a burmese in a moderate price range. (Moderate to me means less than $150) There are 3 or 4 breeders of Siamese within reasonable driving distance but no burmese. I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks Rescue is the only way to go. With countless cats up for adoption it's unimaginable that anyone would actually pay for a bred feline. I guess if you want a cat for show, ok, but, well, I have issues with that too. Willow is sitting on my lap right now, she spent months at the no-kill shelter before I brought her home. It took her about a year to figure out this place was actually her home and she wasn't going back to a cage. Nothing self-righteous about it, but there is a certain satisfaction in having taken an orphan animal into my care.

I agree about the rescue groups. I just place 2 purebred 3 yr. old Tonkinese
whose owner had a stroke. We also had 2 Persians we got from a breeder becaue they weren't 'perfect'. Wonderful personalities, but not cosmetically right. Search on petfinder.com for the breed. We put our animals on it. Good Luck. -- Joe http://www.jwpitt.com/cats.htm Cat Rescue http://www.animalrescuefoundation.com God created the cat so man could have the pleasure of petting the tiger "Alan Sandoval" wrote in message ...
