When you think of iconic cats in popular culture, the British Shorthair likely springs to mind. From the enigmatic Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland to the charming Puss in Boots, and even the memorable Church from Pet Sematary, this breed has captured hearts and imaginations for generations. If you’re considering adding one of these wonderful felines to your family, finding a reputable British Shorthair Cat Breeder is the crucial first step.
Choosing the right British Shorthair cat breeder ensures you’re not only getting a kitten that embodies the breed’s charming looks but also one with a healthy start and a delightful temperament. A dedicated breeder prioritizes the well-being of their cats above all else. At Cheeky Brits Cattery, nestled on a small farm just outside Charlotte, North Carolina, we exemplify this commitment. Our British Shorthair and British Longhair cats are cherished members of our family, living freely within our home, never confined to cages. This home environment is bustling with activity, including a large dog and various farm animals visible through the windows, alongside frequent visits from family and friends.
From the moment they are born, our kittens are lovingly handled and socialized, preparing them to become confident and affectionate companions in their new homes. We take immense pride in raising healthy, happy, and exceptionally well-socialized cats. Our cattery is registered with The International Cat Association (TICA), and we strictly adhere to the ethical breeding practices mandated by this reputable organization. All our breeding cats undergo rigorous health and DNA testing to ensure we are producing kittens with the best possible genetic health. Our British Shorthairs boast distinguished European bloodlines, tracing back to esteemed lineages in the United Kingdom, Spain, and Russia, further ensuring the quality and breed standard of our kittens.
At Cheeky Brits Cattery, our primary focus is on the health, personality, and overall happiness of our British Shorthairs and British Longhairs. We are dedicated to preserving the true essence of the breed standard, aiming for the characteristic robust build, with a short, thick body, a large, round head, small, neatly set ears, and captivatingly large, round eyes. While the blue British Shorthair is undeniably popular and widely recognized, this breed actually presents a stunning array of colors and patterns. While we at Cheeky Brits occasionally have beautiful blue kittens available, we believe that focusing solely on color overlooks the many other exceptional qualities of these wonderful cats. When searching for a British Shorthair cat breeder, prioritize breeders who emphasize health, temperament, and breed standard above coat color, ensuring you welcome a truly exceptional British Shorthair into your life.
