Past Cats
This page is where the Bandilea Birmans get to acknowledge some of the wonderful past cats that have graced our doorstep. Realistically we cannot keep everything and it is with a heavy heart these beautiful cats have left for their new lives.
Gold Dbl Grd Ch Adorabella Impressionist (Imp NZ)
Seal Point DOB 21/09/2012
Sire: Calista Eros Son Of Finnegan
Dam: Adorabella Julio's Tia Maria
"Tammie" comes to us all the way from NZ. This little girl is Teddy's niece. Tammie is hard to fault, she is exceptionally strong in type and her countless show wins reflect this. Adding to her good looks is her fabulous, bold, outgoing, loving temperament. She just knows she's beautiful and likes to let everybody know all about it because like her uncle, she is also a 'talker'. Tammie has been a great mum and has produced some wonderful kittens for us. She is mother, grandmother and great grandmother to many wonderful babies.
Tammie is a multiple Best of Breed winner and a Best In Group winner both as a kitten and as an adult, including at national level. She is a once in a lifetime cat and we love her to pieces. It was with a very heavy heart she left Bandilea for her forever home as she simply didn't want to share her space with multiple other cats, the downside of breeding, but in the best interests of Miss Tim Tam.
Ch Bandilea Memphis (Exp USA)
(Seal Point)
Photos simply do not do this boy any justice, he is devine in every single way. Simply cute as a button with type by the bucketload and super outgoing personality. A big boy who is just like a cuddly teddy bear. He is a consistent winner on the show bench, a testimony to his type and character. His kittens have had the most exceptional temperaments we have ever bred.
Bandilea Pandemonium (Exp USA)

Grd Ch Bandilea Simply Irresistible
(Seal Point)
Dbl Grd Ch Amoenta Sea Breeze (Imp NZ)
(Seal Point)
"Breeze" has now retired from our breeding program after giving us many beautiful babies over the years. She was successful in the show ring winning many Best Of Breeds and placings in Group, including at National Show level. We are very proud to have been given the opportunity to own such a wonderful, big, typey cat.
Bandilea Temptation
(Seal Point)
"Tilly", although not show marked gave Bandilea some wonderful, typey babies and we are very grateful to have had her in our breeding program. Her kittens were always very popular with pet buyers and a couple have been successful in the show ring. She now lives with her half brother with a friend and is extremely spoilt.
Adorabella Donnerblitz (Imp NZ) "Toby"
(Chocolate Point)
Toby made the trek here from New Zealand and was here to help develop our chocolate program. He has the softest temperament, a real smoocher. He had a brief show career as a kitten and adult winning Best Of Breeds and a multiple placings In Group. He now lives with friends and will continue to be shown now as a neuter.
Grd Ch Sharvic Shiraz Black "Tazzie"
(Seal Point)
What can I say about this beautiful boy. He was just devine with that distinctive clear, silky coat and super dark point colour. Tazz had a wonderful temperament and never once misbehaved on the show bench or at home, it simply wasn't in his nature. He gave us some wonderful babies and we are grateful to have his progeny to go on with. He stamps his progeny with his great ear set and boning. He has also proven to pass on that magnificent coat and dark point colour to his offspring. Enjoying his life now as a much loved pet who has a mummy that worships the ground he walks on.
Ch Spellbound Trix Silver "Trixie"
(Blue Point)
Trixe was a lovely blue point girl. She was a soft natured but independent girl who raised her kittens well but never really enjoyed being a mum. She did however produce one of the most stunning birmans we have ever bred in Bandilea Furst Love.
