CCC of A Champion, Gold Champion SHARADA INYA DREAMS - "Inya"

THE BIRMAN SOCIETY INC - BEST BIRMAN CAT 2007 

My name is Heather. I am a registered breeder of the Sacred Cat of Burma, dedicated to breeding the beautiful Birman Cat in colours of Seal, Blue, Chocolate and Lilac point and some of the newer Lynx or Tabby points and 'Red Series'.

After breeding these beautiful cats for 10 years, in 2008 after a health scare I thought I was going to stop breeding .....and disbanded my cat family. The cats and kittens were sorely missed however and once again they grace my home and my heart and although fewer in number they do go back to my original lines. I will continue to breed but in a much smaller way. 

I am dedicated to this lovely breed and the pursuit of excellence I belong to the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy, Victoria and Australia and also Sacred Cat of Burma Fanciers Association of Australia Inc. and The Birman Society Inc and am a Life Member of the Birman Cat Club in the UK.  

My first litter in February 2000 included two champions one of which was Db.Gd.Ch. Sharada Shadeso Blue who was owned and shown successfully by Lesley Freeman of Eldorato Birmans and at 5 years of age returned here for two seasons..........A career stud he has since retired to his final home at Florencia Birman Cattery in New Zealand where he will live out the remainder of his life enjoying a country property retirement.

My foundation queen Ch. Kaleerba Serendipity (Sarah) was a "gift" and came to me already in kitten to produce the litter mentioned above. An exceptional starting point for a hobby that has given a lot of pleasure, in her second litter Sarah produced Db.Gr. Ch. Sharada Shes An Angel (Angel) who in her turn, contributed by producing a lovely daughter Ch. Sharada Always An Angel (Little Angel), dam of the fabulous BIS winning choc point boy Gold Ch. Dejavu Hershey (Hershey) who following the passing of his breeder Debbie Raus - in September 2007 - came to live with me and is now enjoying his retirement in a fantastic pet home with his full sister Db.Gr.Ch.Dejavu Lilac Time (Lucy)

Sarah retired permanently to a stupendous pet home and is looking fabulous at 13years old. Angel has followed Sarah’s example and is also now enjoying a happy retirement with her new family in Sydney. Sarah influence was very strong through various progeny. She is the mum and grand mother of several multi-titled progeny and winning producers and her son Db.Gd.Ch. Sharada Shadeso Blue played a major part in the breeding program. Her grand-daughters Gold Gr.Ch. Dejavu Miss Molly, Db.Gr.Ch. Sharada Rainbow Sky and Gold Ch. Sharada Inya Dreams were all leading ladies and this means her influence will remain for some time to come.

One Birman led to another and in the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of breeding and exhibiting some very fine Birmans from top Imported and Australian Champion lines as they came to share their lives and love with me...:-

Kittens!!! What a joy - to see them born, to enjoy the wonder of the devotion of the mum cats and to play my part in rearing them and to watching them develop into handsome adults. It was missing having them around that made me change direction and decide to continue a little longer with this wonderful hobby. I have had the pleasure of placing some beautiful babies in wonderful homes and have been delighted when members of the family come back wanting even more of my precious babies......As many as 5 going to the one family. On the whole though a rewarding experience filled with the richness of new relationships formed, friendships and the chance to play an important part in promoting appreciation of a wonderful family oriented companionable breed. 

While having time out travelling I kept in touch with Australian Breeders and made some new friends in England. If you want to find out more about kittens and kitten care my KITTEN NURSERY SITE is accessible for general information - please read it  Sharada Birman Nursery Site
