Our standards & practices

Health testing & screening

Q. Do you health test in accordance with the current standards and recommended guidelines for your breed? Can you demonstrate your knowledge of any required DNA or other health related test results concerning your breed (if applicable).

A. Yes.Generally, British Shorthairs are a healthy breed. Our kittens are vet checked to ensure there are no defects before going to their forever home.

Preparation & socialisation

Q. Do you ensure that your kittens are appropriately socialised? Please provide details about how you raise your kittens to ensure that their environmental and social needs are met, that they are suitable as pets. And, do you ensure that the new family understands and is equipped to continue this socialisation?

A. Yes.Our queens are brought into the family home before giving birth to her kittens. They are raised in this home environment, and put into our cattery at around 5 weeks old with the other cats. They are handled from a very young age by adults and children and are around dogs all during this time.

Placement & matching

Q. Is ensuring that your kittens go to the right home a high priority? How do you ensure that the kitten will be a good fit, and be well cared for in its new home? Do you have a verbal or personal interview?

A. Yes.We encourage clients to visit our cattery in Kalbar in person. If this is not possible, we will do a zoom or Whats App chat with them.

Q. What written information about the conditions of sale, warranty, and information concerning the care and maintenance of the breed do you provide?

A. Yes.We give our clients a sample pack of the food the kittens have been raised on, along with basic information regarding the follow up care required, e.g. when vaccinations are due etc.

Ongoing support

Q. Do you offer ongoing support? For example: Help with introducing a kitten to other animals; help with any health or behavioural problems that might occur.

A. Yes.Our kittens are brought up in a home with dogs, so they are already familiar with other animals.

Q. In the long term, do you assist with re-homing a kitten or cat if for some reason the new family are unable to care for it?

A. Yes.The British Shorthair cats are a very relaxed breed, therefore rarely need to be rehomed. If in the case that it was required, we would do what we could to help.

Clubs & Associations

Q. Are you a current member of any breed clubs and/or associations?

A. Yes.Feline Control Council of Qld
