Our names are Ellinor Åkerström- Borg and Håkan
Borg, and we live in a suburb to Stockholm,
the capital of Sweden, called Tumba. We have
a small cattery;
S*Sacred Heart’s,
which was registered in Fife & SVERAK (the
Swedish cat organization) on May 11:th 2005.
The name "Sacred
Heart's"
origins from the comedyshow "Scrubs".
I
(Ellinor) originally comes from a small town
called Tierp
and
Håkan comes from Malmö.
I
(Ellinor) work full-time nights at a special
residence for people who suffer from
pre-senile dimentia, in Flemingsberg outside
Huddinge in the southern part of Stockholm.
Håkan is a chef at a restaurant/nightclub in
Bergshamra, in the northern part of
Stockholm.
On September 6th 2008 we got married and
here you can see some pictures from our
wedding day:

Ever since I was a little girl I have lived
with cats,
regular farm cats.
When the last one, "Snurran", passed
away,
my mother said that she was NOT going to
have another cat! It took about 4 months
until she bought our first pedigreed cat...
A nice, solid sealpoint female called "Mischa".
She is no longer with us. She lived to be
17.5 years old.
Håkan has never been a
cat person. In his family they had dogs
while he was growing up. But he likes the
birman, because the are so "dog-like" in
many ways: they are curious, love company
and are playful at times.
The reason why I love birmans is simple:
they have a wonderful temperament & psyche.
They are very calm and friendly, adjust very
well to other animals. And those BLUE eyes….
The first birman I bought myself in 2001 was
S*Saphire Extreme Endless Spring, or
"Athena" as she is called. I only wanted a
pet cat, not a show cat or breeding cat.
Together with her, I "got" her mother
S*Golden Sinh Daytona, "Dizzy", who I got to
take care of, on behalf of the breeder.
After being mated in 2002 to S*Piggelins
Allan Edwall, Dizzy gave birth to 4 kittens,
and Anette (S*Saphire Extreme) persuaded me
to keep a male to breed with and to show. I
kept the firstborn son, "S*Saphire Extreme
MidnightSun". and because of me being a huge
Ozzy Osbourne-fan, I named him "Ozzy".
Both Dizzy and Athena have moved to my
mother in Uppsala.
A BIIIIG THANKS to Anette, S*Saphire
Extreme, for all the help and support you
have given me all these years!
Louise moved in with us on October 16th
2006, from Birgitta Strandberg's cattery, S*Rawalpindi's.
Louise is close what I want in a birman;
just playful enough, very curious and always
wants to see what's going on, everywhere!!
VERY cuddly. Simply the best temprament!
We run a small cattery, emphasize "small"
and "little", with only one female to mate
and breed with.
It is important to us, that the mother of
our kittens gets back in shape between
pregnancies and we take the time to care for
our kittens and give them a good start in
life with a lot of social contact.
The kittens have access to our whole
apartment when they are ready for it, just
like our other cats. Firstly, we sell our
kittens as pets, but if it turns out that
they are suitable for show/breed that is a
big plus. Our goal is to raise cats who are
calm, easy to handle and have a stable mind
with the right look and with the right
quality of fur.
We go to different shows now and then, with
our male Ozzy and female Louise.
You can read more about our cats under "The
cats", where there are more details about
them.
We are also members of the Swedish cat club
"Järva Kattklubb" and "the Midnight Sun
society for the Sacred Birman cat";
Birmasällskapet.
