Welcome to Arklan Birmans, my name is Jan Gay and I hope you enjoy browsing through my website finding out more about my beautiful Birmans and myself.

I am a member of the ‘Cat Association of Tasmania Inc’ and have been breeding and showing this gorgeous breed for 11 years.

I live on a 5-acre property 25kms south-east of Hobart in Tasmania, Australia - with my husband Stuart and our two sons Michael & Chris.

I have always loved cats and owned moggies as a child, several years ago I decided I would love to own a pedigree cat and that is when my love of the Birman breed first started. My introduction to breeding was not a good one, with my first three breeding queens having birthing problems resulting in loosing several precious little Bir-Babies. With help from very good breeding friends, here I am successfully breeding 11 years later.

I breed all colours – Seal, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac, Cream, Red, Tabby and Tortie Points.
