Welcome to the home of the beautiful Shakandah Birmans where we take great pride in producing top quality little Angels with super temperaments and type. My name is Anne Davis and I live in the leafy Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. I share my home with my husband Glenn, daughter Rebecca 24 and sons Benjamin 22, Jonathan 19 and Luke 13. We also have 3 dogs and of course our lovely Birman family.
I am a registered breeder with the Governing Cat Council in my State and I am also an active member of The Birman Society Club. To date I have produced many show winners here in Australia and Overseas in many countries. I take my job as a breeder very responsibly and also very seriously. I do not cut corners or scrimp on costs - only the best for my Birman angels here at Shakandah.
To be owned by a Birman is one of life’s many blessings and as the saying goes ‘two Birmans are better than one’. They are loving and affectionate, with very outgoing personalities. Stylish in every way, you get what you see in a Birman. A cat with striking appearance and endearing blue eyes, you can’t help but fall in love. Birmans are very dog like in nature and are always happy to either sit on your lap or help with the household chores.
Myself, my husband Glenn and our family.

"Molly"
Molly came into our lives in early 1999 and has proven herself in many ways. She is a beautiful girl who has been very consistent with the quality of her kittens. She never failed to produce eye colour to the standard, with everything else in place as well. I purchased Molly from Win Higgins, Rathmore Birmans in Tasmania. Click here to read more about Molly

I know I'm just a kitten Lord, but created by your hands,
I am so small and weak and scared, so all your help I need.
Please hear my prayer for things I need, and bless my life indeed,
All things I ask are needed Lord to make my life complete.
Dear Lord please grant me soft warm beds, and toys to delight my days,
A full food bowl every day and water fresh and clean.
Peak health and long life to share my charm,
With those I love so deep.
Please grant me safety from all harm, in loving arms to hide,
A companion that will always care and want me by their side.
Someone that knows I depend on them for all my daily needs,
And gives me endless, total love as you always give to them.
Please never let me be abused, forsaken, cold and scared,
For even a small creation of yours deserves the best in life.
So please dear Lord, please hear my prayer each and every day,
To always keep your hand on me and guide me through this life.
One more small thing I ask of you and then I'll be fulfilled,
Please bless my companion you provide and help them everyday.
Give all the ones that I love, wisdom and knowledge about me,
That they may know I need consistant care and all their love to make it through this life.

~* Purrs to Signal "All is Well" *~
Gentle eyes that see so much,
Paws that have the quiet touch,
Purrs to signal " all is well "
and show more love than words can tell.
Graceful movements touch with pride,
A calming presence by our side,
A friendship that takes time to grow..
Small wonder why we love them so.
