Introduction
Sunsoar Cattery is a small cattery located on the beautiful Gold Coast, in Australia. We specialize in the stunning Tabby Point Birmans. Our love of Birmans began in 1990 when we purchased our first two pets. After we moved to Canberra in 1994, we joined the Birman Cat Club of Canberra and obtained our foundation queen Majik Fascination from Alison Stringer and Liz Robinson after falling in love with the tabby points. Initially we bred under the prefix of Kachin before moving to Queensland and discovering this was a long established Burmese prefix. Consequently, in 1997 we applied for and were granted the Sunsoar prefix.
Due to our mobile life style we have bred in Townsville and Wellington (NZ) and in Canberra before we retired to the Gold Coast in December 2005. We have concentrated on tabby points and have achieved supreme exhibit status with Bronze DGC Majik Fascination (Cairns), Bronze DGC Kachin Meiglan (Canberra), DGC Sunsoar Sapphire Rose (Birman Cat Club of New Zealand) and (Birman Cat Club of Canberra), CH Sunsoar Athena Rose (Supreme Exhibit 2004 Birman Cat Club of Canberra Specialist Show) and Sunsoar Brindabella (Supreme Birman Exhibit 2004 Sacred Cat of Burma Fanciers Association) and Sunsoar Galahad (Best Group 1 Exhibit Capital Cats Dec 2005 Show all three Rings).
Over the years we have worked with many breeders to improve our lines and produce beautiful birmans. Some of these breeders are Alison Stringer and Liz Robinson (Majik and Sarika), Sally Briton (Kirishan) and Bev Briers (Bonniebrae) in Australia. While in New Zealand we worked with Sandy Steward and Pauline Van Der Hoorn (Fancypawz), Mike Robinson & Pauline Spink (Sceiron), the Murphy family (Amoenta) and the Scadden family (Magwai) and John & Janice Davey and Sally Dennehy (Birpur)
We breed for type and temperament, recognising that most of our kittens will find homes as family pets. However, we have been fortunate enough to be able to send breeding cats to The Netherlands and Norway.
