We breed primarily Balinese but to keep our health, type and style we incorporate Siamese and Siamese Variants into our lines. We offer ongoing support to anyone who purchases our kittens.

Gautama Catteryis located in South East Victoria (within the Melbourne metropolitan area), our cats live in the house and have a 60 ft enclosure attached, it has concrete, grass and a planted area so they can experience different environments without ever having to go outside.

We breed primarily Balinese but to keep our health, type and style we incorporate Siamese and Siamese Variants into our lines. A Siamese Variant should be in all respects a pure Siamese in looks, the only difference is that a Variant is carrying a longhair gene, these cats are necessary in our Balinese breeding programs as it helps to increase the gene pool, therefore strengthening the lines.

Our cats are fed a mostly natural diet and high grade supplementation with diced steak and raw chicken wings for clean teeth and healthy gums, we incorporate a holistic approach to our animals welfare including natural therapies such as Shiatsu, Massage, Aromatherapy and Reiki, we use naturopathic cures where appropriate and the best of mainstream medicine when needed, all of our cats are FIV and FeLV free and F4 vaccinated.

In July 2002 we completed a course in feline genetics through Cornell University, (New York, USA) gaining new insight and skills to help us breed the very best Balinese that we can. Our cattery is small, insuring that we can give our babies the very best care and attention possible. We do not produce many litters a year as our goal is to produce quality not quantity, we take our time finding just the right male for each of our girls, this can take many months for each cat. It is not easy to try to improve type whilst keeping genetic diversity and health.

As stud cats have a less than ideal life, all of our males are sold desexed and our girls are sold desexed unless prior arrangements have been made. ALL of our kittens are sold on the condition that they will be house cats and not penned, the health and happiness of our cats is our top priority and this can only be achieved in our opinion in an inside loving home environment.

We are happy to offer ongoing support to anyone who purchases our kittens and provide information on the breed and general cat welfare when needed, we are also happy to provide information regarding cat shows and how to show your new kitten.

We are affiliated with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy Victoria and Australia.
