The Royal Esprit Approach

Comprehensive Care and Early Socialization

At Royal Esprit, the well-being of our kittens is paramount. We provide comprehensive care and socialize our kittens from the earliest days. This ensures they grow into friendly, well-rounded individuals. By the time they are ready for adoption at around 15-16 weeks of age, our kittens are microchipped, vaccinated, and sterilized, ready to smoothly transition into their new homes.

Burmese Cats: A Palette of Colors

The Burmese breed is renowned for a stunning array of ten unique coat colors. At Royal Esprit, we work with and appreciate each of these colors. From the traditional chocolate and brown to the rarer hues like red, tortie, lilac, blue, and cream, our cattery embraces and celebrates this extraordinary color diversity.

Our Burmese Cats Around the Globe

Royal Esprit’s reputation extends beyond Croatia. Our kittens have found loving homes across continents, from Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Spain, France, Italy, Ireland, Greece, to the USA and the UAE.

Join us as we continue our passionate journey with the exquisite Burmese breed at Royal Esprit Burmese Cattery.
