Hi, my name is Jo Fletcher.  I first saw the Birmans at a cat show and fell in love with them. Our first two Birman kittens were a joy from the moment we brought them home. They are such a relaxed, loving and friendly breed to have in your home. We live on a small farm in Canterbury, New Zealand so have plenty of room for our lovely family of beautiful Birmans.
We have seal points, blue points, a chocolate point, a lilac point and a seal tabbie point.

Felicity is a beautiful blue point girl aged 8 months in this photo. She has been winning Best in Shows and runner up Best in Shows frequently in her early show career. In the NZ National Show ring 2009 she was 3rd best in show entire kitten.  In the short time she was in the entire cat class for the remainder of the show season she became a Grand Champion and only a few points off being a double grand champion.

Felicity is at present 2nd best entire Birman kitten in New Zealand for the 2009 show season. She has also won for me several Breeder's Awards of Merit in her first season on the show bench.
