I shall breed with the intention of improving the Birman cat and not for commercial gain.

When selling cats/kittens I will represent them honestly, be at least ten weeks old and vaccinated at least once. All cats/kittens sold shall be parasite free, wormed lean and sociable. If the cat/kitten is in ill health, the new owner will be made aware of all necessary veterinary care required.

I will endeavour to ensure that only responsible and caring people obtain Birmans and I will assist them in every way possible.

As a Birman owner I will do all required ensuring that the health and well being of all my cats/kittens will be maintained at a high standard. If unable to properly care for them I will contact the club or the breeder who will assist in placing them in a good home/homes.

It is not permitted to sell/transfer a Birman to a wholesale or retail pet dealer or allow a Birman to be a prize or donation in a contest of any kind.

As a stud or boarding facility I will ensure all cats in my care are kept in hygienic conditions, fed and watered properly and receive any necessary veterinary attention required.

Anyone who purchases a male kitten/cat for stud purposes will be advised of the responsibilities and care of such ownership and the type of housing required.

I will endeavour to ensure all kittens/cats go to loving responsible homes and that the new owners clearly understand their responsibilities of ownership. All pet owners will be required to sign a declaration stating that pets will be desexed by six (6) months of age. They will be given a diet sheet, vaccination certificate and grooming information.

Any kitten/cat sold by me for showing/breeding shall comply favourably with the standard and the necessary pedigree and registrations forms are transferred to the new owner without delay and that they will be correct in all ways.

I shall not permit my registered purebred Birman cat to be mated with an unregistered Birman or with any other breed of cat unless for controlled experimental breeding which is condoned by a recognised governing council.

I shall not breed my female Birman cat before nine (9) months of age and no more than twice a year (except in exceptional circumstances).
