A small family cattery raising a few Birman kittens each year — a love story that began in Brussels in 1986 and now lives in Running Springs, California. A hobby, never a business.
Du Laddak Doré Birman began as a passion for the traditional Birman. Our lines were brought in from different gene pools around the world to build a sound, healthy base. We raise chocolate-point and lilac-point above all, alongside seal-point and blue-point.
Health tested, well loved and fully vaccinated. Pedigrees available on request.

We sell only to families — never to pet shops or brokers — and kittens stay with their mother until they are ready. The waiting list is about a year, depending on what you are hoping for.
Every kitten leaves us socialized, confident and used to family life — and we stay in touch long after they've settled into their new home.
Write to us and tell us about your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet us — and the cats.

A kitten's first six months shape its whole character. We also recommend pet health insurance — vet bills add up quickly. We suggest Spot Pet Insurance.
In the temple of Lao-Tsun, the old priest Mun-Ha served Tsun-Kyankzé, the goddess with sapphire eyes. When raiders came and Mun-Ha died, his white cat Sinh leapt onto his master's body — his coat turned gold, his eyes turned blue as the goddess's, and his paws, resting on the priest, stayed pure white.
A beautiful story — but where did it really come from? The mountains of Lugh… or Nice?
L'Extraordinaire Aventure du Chat Sacré de Birmanie
Ten years of archival research into the true origins of the Birman before 1940 — from the Léotardi affair to the Siamese breeders of Europe who, crossing with white cats, gave the breed its gloves and long coat.
