Services for Burmese Cat Club Members

The Club holds an annual Burmese Championship Show under GCCF rules, and sponsors classes for its members at other all-breed shows, with cups and rosettes for winning cats and kittens.

The Club magazine, the BCC News, is published and circulated to members three times a year. It includes up-to-date information on health and welfare, articles by members on the pleasures of owning Burmese, photographs, poems, illustrations and lists of Trophy and Club Class winners.

A comprehensive selection of information leaflets and other publications, including the definitive book The Burmese Cat, a Stud List and our own pedigree forms, are available for purchase from Club Tables at shows or by mail order from our Publications Secretary.

Regional Kitten Lists are compiled and updated on a monthly basis and members are invited to register details of litters on the relevant List through Kitten List Co-ordinators or Regional Advisers. Information from these lists is given by Co-ordinators and Regional Advisers to telephone enquirers seeking to purchase kittens.



Blue Burmese Kitten

The BCC Stud List is available by mail order from the Publications Secretary, Tracey Keegan. Information updates are provided in the form of loose sheets, from Club Tables or direct from Tracey. All entries in the Stud List are supported by the following declaration, signed by each stud owner:

I agree
  • that my stud must be on the Active Register;
  • that all queens accepted must be on the Active Register only;
  • that my stud(s) will not be "free range";
  • to advise owners of queens on the care of queen and kittens and to assist with the identification of kitten colours if necessary;
  • to stress the importance of and give advice on the registration of kittens;
  • to my stud and quarters being inspected at any reasonable time by a member of the BCC Committee or someone authorised by them.
  • I declare that to the best of my knowledge my stud is not affected by the gene for Hypokalaemic Polymyopathy. I will advise the Burmese Cat Club Committee without delay if in the future any verified case of Hypokalaemia is sired by my stud.
