British Shorthair Breeders
We are members of the Southern British Shorthair cat club, Maidstone and Medway, Kentish Cat society, East Sussex Cat Club Amongst many other clubs and societies (see links page 2 for listing ) Our prefix, is registered with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy: www.gccfcats.org and 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, 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. We also have Bi-colours and colourpoints on occasions. I am sorry we do not breed Silver Tabbies, there are plenty of breeders out there who do.
Services provided for pet owners and the Breeders/Catteries/Kennels
This year we are showing Todd Honey and Gizmo and my new golden girl, Please read our Shows Page  We are small hobby breeders, so our cattery as such, is small. We have three purpose built runs attached to the rear of our house. The main large run is linked to our dinning room door, it has a mesh run attached to the wall over the backdoor and terminates at the end of the wall of the house. The second is a free standing long lindee lou pen. The third is at the end of the garden, it is a free standing lindeeloo pen.
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.   Keeping a stud is such a big commitment. For my self lines our girls have a 'honeymoon' with Rambo who is featured on my website. Click 'The Boys' above to go to his page. 
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 cats. 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.
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 (4 weeks), Food, bowls, bags, 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.
