Bes Cattery Breeding Burmillas

Bes Cattery is owned by Kim & Phillip Ghobrial of Tualatin, Oregon (close to Portland).  We have been breeding cats since 1983.  We got into breeding cats with the idea "To Better the Breed".  We have always strived for clean Health, Personality, and Longevity, with Show quality as a bonus when we get them.  We won't compromise the Breed to get a fast win.  We believe that outcrossing is the way to go in keeping the Breed alive.

We use to breed Abyssinians (both Normals and Silvers), Somalis, Egyptian Maus, Mainecoons (for a very, very short time) and European Burmese.

I was asked, what is the difference between the European Burmese and the Burmilla.  I've had time to think about it.  I believe, that the mixture between the European Burmese and the Chinchilla (which made the Burmilla), brought out the beauty of the Chinchilla in the coat and the eyes and brought out the sweet disposition which the earlier European Burmese had.  They are very beautiful, sweet, clumsy and very loyal to their humans.  If you are looking for a companion cat, these are what you want.

I also, breed the Burmillas and Burmilla Longhairs (also known as Tipped and Shaded Tiffanies in some Organizations).   Since we breed the Burmillas and have the earlier Generations which we work with, we occasionally will have other Patterns which pop up in the litters, such as Selfs (Solids), Smokes and Silver Tabbys (Spotted, Classic, Mackeral and Ticked).

I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and it is always clean and I have all my adult cats and kittens that I keep, tested Negative for Leukemia and the Aids Virus.  I do keep my number of cats or kittens always down, because I want to give everyone enough love and attention that they need to make them happy.

I do have an answering machine and I will call you back, if you leave a message.  If I'm on the phone, I had turned off the Answering part of Comcast services, so you might get a mechanical Voice saying that the phone number you just called is no longer in service, which isn't so, just call me back please.

I do ship any where in the United States and Internationally.

I have new photos of Pixie Dust on here, she is my kitten from Goldeneye and Fabulite who are both from England.  Also, I have Meri and Buckbeak who are from the litter born 13-February-2011 from same parents.  Seraphina is our newest member of our group and she was born 7-February-2012.
