Showcasing My Wonderful Hobby
and my Beautiful Birman
Cats & Kittens
Kendalian is the GCCF and TICA
registered Prefix of
Angela Orvis
I became the proud owner of my first Birman and became a Birman lover in 1989. She was the most beautiful kitten I had ever seen. In those days the Breeder told me she was a Breeding Queen and was on the Active Register for Breeding. I was only looking for a pet, but, Ok, I had a Breeding Queen!
So I became a small hobby breeder.
I began to research all I could in that first couple of years from the GCCF website
and getting to know other Breeders, visiting cat shows and
enjoying the companionship of like minded people.
I registered my breeding prefix KENDALIAN owned by Angela Orvis (that's me)
in August 1991 and had my first litter. I was smitten.
I became a founder member of the Lakeland and District Cat Club in 1991,
when a small group of cat fanciers got together
to discuss forming a club from our area, (Kendal).
From those informal cat chats and activities
the Club has grown from strength to strength.
I was also a founder member of the Northern Birman Cat Club
as we hoped that a 'Northern' Birman Breed Club
would enable more breeders 'Up North' to reach their breed shows.
Now the Club has Nationwide popularity.
13 years ago I was joined by my partner Gary,
he didn't like cats at first, but soon began to adore them as much as I do.
He has great ideas for the shows and makes the Best in Show mugs
(for the NBCC and the LDCC Clubs).
As well as the road signs to the LDCC Show in Kendal.
He has also taken the fantastic photos I have on this website.
My beautiful queens take first place in our household affections.
My studs are always lovingly attended and have wonderful temperaments.
Kittens need no introduction - they are superb!
Breeding for Quality not Quantity!
Please browse my pages and love my cats as I do..
