July - August 2010: We are currently taking orders for: Brown Torties Chocolate Torties Blue Torties Red Males Blue Males Brown Males If you are specifically after another colour colour/sex combo we suggest you contact some of the breeders on our "Other Breeders" page. _______________________ Here at Suchi Burmese and Catatonia we offer a number of services that other breeders don't offer (Such as EXCLUSIVE boarding services, health guarantees, vet discount vouchers, cheap pet products and much more. Please email us for further information). Consequently our kittens are in high demand and unfortunately there is a waiting list for all colour/sex combinations. We have kittens all year round and usually our waiting list does move relatively quickly so depending on what colour/sex combo you are after will depend on when I am likely to be able to help you. (We are unlikely to be producing Red and Cream females in the near future so if you are specifically interested in this option you may like to contact the Burmese Association or some of the other breeders listed under the Resources menu). If you are interested in a kitten in any of the above mentioned colours and you are happy to wait I can put you on our waiting list and get in touch with you when I am able to offer you the colour and sex combination you are after. Obviously most people that contact me are wanting a kitten as soon as possible - If you are also keen to get a kitten from us I would strongly suggest you give me as many colour and sex combinations as possible options for your new furry family member. The more specific you are with colours the longer the wait is likely to be. If you wish to put your name down on our waiting list for a kitten from any of our future litters we do require a $25 waiting list fee. Please email me with the following information: 1) a contact name, number and your address. 2) the colour and sex combinations of interest 3) the package of interest to you and once the waiting list fee has been received you we will be happy to put you on our waiting list. Q: How long is the waiting list? It is a little hard for me to estimate a specific time as there are so many varying factors. Firstly how many kittens are produced in our coming litters in the first place. Secondly: The sexes and colours of the kittens produced..... Some of the people on our waiting list are specifically after a particular sex and colour combination. Unfortunately I am unable to predict what our pregnant mothers are carrying and how many people on our waiting list this will cater for. JANUARY 2010 - We are currently offering kittens to people who went on our waiting list prior to September 09 meaning that there is about an 4-6 month wait for people that aren't too specific about the colour and sex combinations. Obviously most people that contact me are wanting a kitten as soon as possible - If you are also keen to get a kitten from us I would strongly suggest you give me as many colour and sex combinations as possible options for your new furry family member. The more specific you are with colours the longer the wait is. If you are happy to wait and are interested in putting your name down for a kitten from any of our future litters please let me know and I will discuss this with you further. Q: When I am offered a kitten can I view the litter and choose my kitten? We honour the order of our waiting list. If we produce 6 chocolate male kittens in one litter the person highest on our waiting list for a chocolate male will have first choice of all 6 kittens. The next person on our waiting list that has a chocolate male down as an option will have a choice of 5 and so on. This means obviously that one person will not have a choice. Although this has never occurred for us, if the person offered the last kitten decided they didn't want that particular kitten then we would move through our waiting list till we find someone interested. This would probably mean that the person that didn't want the last kitten would have first choice of any chocolate male kittens produced in the next litter. So if you really want a choice then this may be an option you could choose** In saying that we do have some people on our waiting list that are after a kitten from a particular mating or are interested for a particular time of year such as Christmas, School holidays, after a renovation is complete, birthdays etc etc etc so depending on where these people are placed on the waiting list it may also affect what choice people have. There may also only be one chocolate male in a litter which would also mean that we just contact the person highest on our waiting list interested in a chocolate male as an option meaning that there is no choice as there is only one to offer. * Please be aware that all our kittens are handled the same and being from the same parents we do have a large number of people that have trouble choosing a kitten if they have a choice. Sometimes they ask me to choose for them or they toss a coin. Personally I strongly believe that Where and How a kitten is raised will have much more effect on his or her personality. If they have had the time and effort put into them when they are little and have been handled regularly they are bound to be very affectionate and love your company which is what the Burmese breed is all about. If a kitten is raised in a cattery down the back of the property how much time is the breeder going to have spent with them? Are they the type of breeder that is just going to go in feed and change the litter tray once a day? Are the kittens going to be used to "House" noises such as the TV, the Radio, the door bell, people talking and walking past and every cats worst nightmare - THE VACUUM? I always have a bit of a giggle when people come and choose one chocolate male out of a litter that has 3 other chocolate male kittens purely because the kitten they have chosen is the most affectionate or the most playful or the quite one..... Kittens are like people they aren't playful all the time and they certainly aren't quite all the time. Chances are that the kitten that is the most playful during your visit may be the "quiet one" an hour later when someone else is visiting as he/she has worn himself out but by then another kitten will probably have taken over the "Playful" role. In general...If all the kittens in the litter are well socialized, happy to be held, healthy and playful (read the Tips for buying a kitten for further suggestions) no matter what kitten you get you will probably have a gorgeous kitten - as I said above ... WHERE & HOW A KITTEN IS RAISED IS GOING TO MAKE THE LONG TERM DIFFERENCE! Q: Do I have to put down a deposit to go on the waiting list for a Suchi Burmese kitten?/ If I go on the waiting list do I have to buy a kitten? Obviously we like to keep our waiting list up-to-date and if there are "tyre kickers" on there it can be a little misleading so we have a $25 (non-refundable) waiting list fee. By doing this we are trying to refine our waiting list to people that are serious about purchasing a SUCHI BURMESE and reduce the tyre kickers. We spend considerable time contacting people when we are able to offer them a kitten and it can make it a little hard if people aren't serious, don't reply to my emails, repeatedly change their mind or don't know what they are after - It becomes a waste of my time and theirs. If you wish to go on our waiting list please email us the following: 1. YOUR NAME 2. A CONTACT NUMBER 3. ALL POSSIBLE COLOUR & SEX COMBINATIONS OF INTEREST. (You can change/refine this later if you wish) Once I have the above information I will send you though an invoice with my account details on it (so you can arrange an internet banking direct deosit) and I will inform you that you have been placed on our waiting list once the funds have cleared. When the time comes that we can offer you a kitten based on the colour and sex combinations supplied we will send you an email informing you of such. If we don't receive a reply we will resend it aprox 1 week later. If we don't receive a reply to that email we will send you a warning - 'Removal From Waiting List' email. If we have no reply to that within 14 days you will be permanently removed from our waiting list and will need to repay your waiting list fee if you wish to be added back on to the bottom of our waiting list. If you are going away or won't be able to access your emails at any time it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to inform us of this. We let potential new owners view the kittens once the kittens have been vet checked and vaccinated. If the vet is happy with their health and progress we then arrange for people to come and meet their new kitten when the kitten is aprox 8 - 10 weeks old.
