Valerie & Ray Cashman

Hobby breeders of Burmese kittens for showing, breeding and lovable, mischievous pets.

We also share a great love for Australian Flora and Fauna and have an extensive native garden to attract and feed a vast array of beautiful Aussie birds. Dozens of species visit us throughout the year. This page will show you some of our plants and wildlife in our area and few pics of our property in the Hinterland of the Gold Coast, Queensland plus a little bit about us.

The photo above is me with a delightful young female Koala taken end of July 2008 at Kuranda Gardens in the far tropical north of Queensland - she was just so lovely, cuddly and a pleasure to hold. Monies from photos are donated to the rescue and care of Koalas wherever it is needed, especially those burnt in bush fires.

We have a Jacaranda (above) growing in our front garden.

 

We have been owned by Burmese for about 30 years and breeding these fabulous cats for about 17 years. During this time we have enjoyed some success on the show bench and have bred some really beautiful kittens which have also done very well in other states of Australia and overseas.

We usually have lovable larrikins in many colours available to loving homes as pets.

Some of our queens have produced large litters - many of 9 kittens, one litter of 10, and a litter of 12. When the time comes for the girls to retire, we desex them and find them loving pet homes.

We spend  time educating the public about responsible pet ownership.

We do not sell many kittens for show & breeding purposes, preferring them to have a loving pet home to live in, rather than a cattery and when, and if we do, then we do not give genetic guarantees and never guarantee that any of our kittens will win on the show bench. There are too many variables involved and so, this is now a condition of sale.

Our cats have large garden exercise areas with plenty of sun & shade and grass to play on and trees to climb.

Kookaburra - we have had many generations of these wonderful birds in our bush garden. We have dozens of species of birds including red-tailed black Cockatoos sharing the garden with us. We feed Kookaburras, Butcherbirds, Magpies, Currawongs, and enjoy watching Rainbow Lorikeets, King Parrots and Rosellas (even Pale Faced Rosellas) as well as many varieties of Finches, Wrens and honey eaters. We grow many native plants to encourage the birds to stay.

 

This is me having fun with friends in New Zealand.
