A small, intentional cattery built around Phoenix the Kweenix and his future.
CWPX Birman is not a kitten mill and never will be. We’re a CFA-registered, ethics-first Birman cattery focused on health, temperament, and long-term support — not just “getting kittens out the door.”
What “ethical cattery” means here — no buzzwords, just standards.
“Ethical” gets thrown around casually. For us it’s specific and measurable. We screen breeding cats genetically, limit the number of litters, and say “no” more often than we say “yes” if a home does not align with indoor-only, no-declaw, or lifetime-care expectations.
- DNA testing for key conditions; tracking results in EspoCRM for transparency and future planning.
- Written health guarantee and clear contract around spay/neuter, indoor-only living, and declawing.
- No back-to-back litters, no “clear-out” retirements — every cat is treated as a family member.
How kittens are raised day-to-day.
Kittens are born in a quiet, monitored nursery space and gradually integrated into normal household life. They hear real-world sounds, meet visitors with controlled exposure, and learn that people = safety.
- Early handling and gentle exposure from day one.
- Litterbox, scratching post, and carrier training built into the routine.
- Regular weigh-ins and notes logged to our internal health log for each kitten.
Health, vet work, and the “ready to go home” checklist.
Before any CWPX kitten leaves, we walk through a consistent checklist — no guesswork, no “they probably saw a vet.”
- Age-appropriate core vaccines completed and documented.
- Recent wellness exam from a licensed veterinarian, with notes shared on request.
- Microchip and registration guidance if desired.
- Written records plus starter guidance on food, litter, and routines.
