Adult Cats Available for Adoption

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:49:33 -0700

Adult cats include retired show cats, retired breeding cats, and older kittens that we may have kept longer to assess show potential. We often place these cats with a kitten since they provide good company for each other. Contrary to popular opinion, adult cats usually have no problem bonding to a new human. Adults relish the opportunity to be spoiled as an only cat with a doting new family. Since their personalities are already developed, it is much easier to match an adult cat with a person's lifestyle.

Double Mocha will be neutered this winter and will be available for a forever home as a pet. We may have a two year old cream point boy available later in the spring.

Nighthawke's Album

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:41:31 -0700

Grand Premier Abirwood's Nighthawke was our last Abyssinian. Everyone who came to our home was greeted at the door by Nighthawke. He was known and loved as an outgoing, adventurous, fun-loving cat. It was Nighthawke who pushed out one of our upstairs screens and fell to the ground only for us to find him perched in a nearby tree awaiting rescue as mentioned elsewhere on our website. Unfortunately, Nighthawke was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 14 during the fall of 2007. Following surgery to remove an aggressively growing tumor, Nighthawke bounced back and played with our Birman kittens once again. The tumor returned and Nighthawke was inevitably laid to rest on March 28th, 2008. We mourn his loss and miss him terribly. Abirwood will never be the same. ----------------------------The Rainbow Bridge----- Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content except for one small thing. They each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face. Your hands once again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.....-------------------------------------Author Unknown

Kiki's litter 2010

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 05:31:24 -0600

Kiki had just two boys. They had a rough start in life coming into the world via emergency c-section and their mom nearly didn't survive. The babies had to be hand fed, and one had two near brushes with death before he was two weeks old. Obviously, the boys hold special places in our hearts, and we will hold on to these little miracle babies for evaluation.

Are Birmans a good choice for children?

Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:42:07 -0600

Many people ask if Birmans are a good choice for families with children. Although we have no two-legged children, our kittens love when our great niece comes to play. Birmans adapt quickly to homes with children. We urge parents to teach young children how to properly handle a pet before bringing one into the family.
