The Birman Society Inc. was founded in Melbourne Victoria on 30th April 1993. The founding members were Lesley Freemann, Kevin Rock, Trish and John Newman. The Society was founded due to a need as an organisation to: - Unite members in the bonds of friendship and mutual understanding in an open forum. - Raise the status of the Birman and create a high interest level and a better understanding of the breed. - Provide a supportive and caring network for those associated with Birmans and to rescue and care for Birmans in distress or need.

The Rescue Fund consists of donations made by our Birman Society members, and resides within our financial report as a specific allocation of money under this heading. The fund may be used to assist with the rehabilitation, either permanent or temporary of a Birman that is lost / abandoned / no longer able to be cared for. Costs that may be incurred are as follows : Money for releasing the cat or kitten. - Transport costs. - The cat may require immediate, or on going medical attention. - If it's not de-sexed and chipped, that would be done if no ownership can be established. - The cost of housing and feeding until the cat /kitten is able to be relocated. - Advertising expenses to try to return it to its home or establish it in a new home. - In the worst case scenario, and after considerable consultation, if the verdict is that the Birman does not display the necessary social skills to assimilate into a new home, or has an ongoing medical problem, the cat/kitten may have to be put to sleep.
