We are members of the Southern British Shorthair cat club, Maidstone and Medway, Colourpoint cat club Amongst many other clubs and societies (see links page 2 for full listing )

  
 

Our prefix, is registered with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy: www.gccfcats.org

and all our kittens are registered with the GCCF, we adhere to their guidelines of ethical breeders.

  
 

We specialise in the breeding of British Shorthairs, we carefully breed mainly blue and blue-cream and cream kittens. So far we have preferred to concentrate our efforts on breeding Self coloured cats rather than spread ourselves too thinly and deal with perfecting different coat patterns. This year we are branching out we have Bi-colours and colourpoints this year!

I am sorry we do not breed Silver Tabbies, there are plenty of breeders out there who do, of which we can put you in contact with a couple of respectable, ethical breeders.

 

We do not ship. If you wish us to export our kittens to Europe, you would have to collect your kitten in person as we expect to see all our new owners prior to taking kittens home with no exception. We don't allow our kittens to go to someone via a representative or solicitor.

We are small hobby breeders, so our cattery as such, is small. We have four purpose built runs attached to the rear of our house. The main large run is linked to our dinning room door, the second is an annex attached to the main run by a mesh tunnel. The third is at the end of the garden with another long tunnel linking the annex run to it. The fourth is a free standing lindeeloo pen. In summer the second tunnel which is along the fencing gives shade and the run gives them an extra area to excercise and sunbathe.


Our girls love the main tunnel and spend most of their time sunbathing on the end of it. The pens are furnished with heated chalet beds should they wish to stay out side, climbing levels, in-built scratch posts. However, all this finery and they prefer to stand on the top level and stare into the neighbours kitchen watching what they are up to

(See the Gallery page for group shots).

  
 
 
  The kittens NEVER use the pens at anytime, although the runs are covered, they are still exposed to the ground outside.  
 


 
  The girls mainly have the run of the dinning room, downstairs bathroom (it's very cool in here) and the kitchen. We prefer to rear our cats in a homely environment rather than separately in pens outside.  
 


 
  Keeping a stud is such a big commitment. For my self lines our girls go on 'honeymoon' to a friend who has reared and acquired outstanding boys with excellent pedigrees. For my colourpoint lines we have acquired a stunning huge chunky boy. Cracker, see his own page Click here  
     
 
 
 
 
 
We sometimes have kittens available to pets/show neuter homes. Peak times are Spring Summer and Autumn. Please see 'The Nursery' page for further details.
  
 

Our Kittens are completely reared in a homely environment; born and raised for the first 4-5 weeks in a separate kittening suite in our lounge away from the rest of the queens and kittens. After 5 weeks they are introduced to the rest of the home, (they still remain separate from the permanent residents). None of our new kittens use the run and our girls never venture beyond the runs ( except Polly and Amy.) Litters are kept separate from each other.


We prefer new owners to keep the kittens indoors all the time. However we do understand if this is not viable. A safe secure garden is acceptable. Kittens must not be let out for at least 6 months , then, when older, cats to be supervised in the garden only. No cat flaps I am afraid.

  
 

 
 

Our kittens are GCCF registered and are ready for new homes at 13 weeks of age. They have full health care and are fully vaccinated against 'cat-flu', enteritis, and leukaemia. The new Pentofel vaccination protects against Chlamydia too. (Please refer to our health care page).

We provide a 3-5 generation Pedigree, and we Micro chip our kittens. Kittens go home with kitten packs and free insurance (6 weeks), Food, bowls, bags, litter, tray and scoop plus other goodies. More importantly, we provide essential info the new owners require to settle and continue to care for their new arrival as we have done for the past 13 weeks.
