Aaralyn Burmillas

Aaralyn Cattery is a boutique cattery situated in the lower north shore just 15 minutes away from Sydney CBD.

Longhair Burmillas in all 5 colours

We specialise in breeding Silver Longhair Burmillas and are capable of producing all 5 colours - Black, Brown, Blue, Chocolate and Lilac in both shaded and tipped pattern.

DNA Testing and genetic studies

We at Aaralyn Burmillas are dedicated to the Burmilla breed, hence we spend a large amount of time studying the genetics of our cats. All our breeding cats have been DNA tested for colour mapping and diseases identification. Breeding is a scientific process. We believe in informed breeding and not breeding by chance.

Longhair Burmilla vs Australian Tiffanie

Although most of our cats have Australian Tiffanies/Tiffanies ancestors, the Longhair Burmilla is very much different to the Australian Tiffanie both in looks and temperament. All our cats are registered as Longhair Burmillas with the New South Wales Cat Fanciers Association.

Our Longhair Burmillas are true semi-longhair cats with a low maintenance and low matting coat. Our cats are silky to touch without a big cottony undercoat which is typical of many early generation Longhair Burmillas and Australian Tiffanies.

Registered breeding cattery with the New South Wales Cat Fanciers Association (NSWCFA)

Aaralyn Cattery is a registered breeding cattery with the New South Wales Cat Fanciers Association since 2003.

Kitten health - vaccination, desexing, microchipping, worming and vet checking

All our kittens are vaccinated against Feline Enteritis (Cat Flu) at approximately age 8 weeks and 12 weeks, desexed, microchipped, wormed and vet checked before leaving our cattery.

Kittens are usually ready to be rehomed from 12 - 14 weeks after their desexing operation.

WE DO NOT SELL OUR KITTENS UNDESEXED

Our cattery is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) free

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder affecting approximately 36% of Persian cats . Characterized by the formation of cysts on the kidneys, PKD could lead to eventual renal failure and possible death. Since the Burmillas were originally created by crossing Burmese with Chinchilla Persian, PKD could be passed on from the Chinchilla parent. As a result, a good breed will always screen their breeding cats for PKD before breeding. DNA PKD testing is the only sure way to know if your cat carries the PKD gene. Accordingly, all our foundation breeding stock, even our pet cats have been DNA tested and are PKD negative.

We are a boutique cattery with a small number of breeding cats.

Our kittens are raised inside our home 100% of the time

All our kittens are raised inside our home 100% of the time and are well socialised. As we are a boutique cattery, we only have a small number of breeding cats which means we have time for every single cat in the house, giving them all the attention and love they deserve. All our girls are indoor cats with full access to our first floor balcony (which runs the length of our house) and a enclosure (we call it our "cat sun room") connected to the balcony located in our small garden.

We built our enclosure extension at the end of 2005. The main enclosure extension is hexagonal shaped with a built in staircase connecting the enclosure to our first floor balcony. We have also installed blinds and vinyl water proofing to shelter our precious babies from the harsh weather. It is literally a dream house for any cat. I've been told by my friends that it is 6 star cat sun room.

OUR CATS SLEEP WHEREVER THEY WANT - USUALLY ON OUR BED!!!

We are keen exhibitors and actively support the improvement of the Longhair Burmilla breed

We attend in excess of 15 to 20 shows a year to ensure that the cats we breed adhere to the current Longhair Burmilla standards.

Over the past years, many of our cats have been awarded championship status and received numerous Best of Breed and top 5 awards. In 2006, MoMo became the first NSWCFA Gold Double Grand Champion Longhair Burmilla and Fuji also reached Champion status at a tender age of 9 months.

In 2007, our cats continue to do well at the shows. Fuji gained her Bronze Double Grand Champion Status in September 2007. Then in late 2007, our young Lotus was awarded "Best Female Kitten" at the Silver Persian Show and "Best Female Burmilla Kitten" at the Highlands Cat Club Show.

Simba was by far our best performing Longhair Burmilla exhibit in 2007. He was awarded numerous Best in Show titles including "Supreme Burmilla Exhibit" award by Liz Haimes at the Highlands Cat Club Show in October 2007.

MoMo also continued to make us proud. He was awarded Best Desexed Exhibit Group 3 and Best Burmilla Exhibit Overall at the Silver Persian Show 2007.

In October 2007, Aaralyn Burmillas participated in the NSWCFA judges seminar. We were invited to bring 4 of our best Longhair Burmillas exhibits to the judges training program. All the training judges including experienced Burmilla judge Rhondda Watson agreed that Aaralyn generation 3 Longhair Burmillas conform very well to the current NSWCFA Longhair Burmilla standards.

In March 2008, Lotus was awarded Best Female Cat (Group 3) by Liz Haimes and Reserve Best Female Cat (Group 3) by Allan Davies at the prestigious Royal Easter Show. This was her first ever show as an adult cat! Simba was also placed 4th best Cat by Alan Raymond.

In May 2008, Aaralyn Scarlett Mimosa was born. Mimi is Fuji's daugther and half sister to Lotus. Like her mother and sister, Mimi is also a showstopper. At 6 months of age, Mimi has already won 4 Best in Show Titles. She ended the year with TFA Desexed Kitten of The Year 2008 award.

In 2009, we have a bunch of new show stars, these include my own cats : Mia, Dinky and Holly and also desexed Burmillas Ochi, Monet, Mystique, Kenzo, Bonsai and Bella. All of these cats have done fantastically well on the show bench with Ochi, Monet, Mia and Bella constantly winning Best In Show placings. At the end of the year Ochi was awarded NSWCFA Reserve Desexed Kitten Gp 3 2009 and Silvertails Cat of The Year 2009.

We continue to be very proud of our cats achievements and would like to thank all our breeder associates who have contributed to our breeding program over the years.

We only use premium food

We only feed our cats and kittens the best quality food. We are a member of the Royal Canin breeders club and highly recommend their dry food products.

Everyday, our animals get a mixture of dry and wet food. At least once a week they will also get human grade fresh meat as part of their diet. Not to mention the yummy treats they get all the time.

Cats at Aaralyn Cattery are very happy cats :)
