Our Cattery

British cats have several distinctive features that set them apart:

• Luxurious Plush Coat: Their most striking feature is their thick, dense double coat. It’s short but incredibly soft and plush, earning them nicknames like “teddy bear cat.” While short, it requires regular brushing to maintain its shine and prevent matting.
• Stocky Build: These are medium-to-large cats with a muscular build and a broad chest. Their sturdy bodies give them a powerful and imposing presence, despite their gentle nature.
• Adorable Round Features: Large, round eyes and chubby cheeks contribute to their undeniable charm.

British cats are known for their endearing temperament:

• Gentle and Easygoing: These are calm and mellow cats who prefer a peaceful environment. They are not known for being overly demanding or attention-seeking.
• Loyal Companions: Despite their independent streak, British cats form strong bonds with their humans and enjoy spending time in their presence. They show affection in their own subtle ways, like gentle head boops or curling up near you.
• Playful Side: While not as energetic as some breeds, British cats do enjoy playtime, particularly when they are young. Interactive toys and scratching posts can help keep them entertained.

British cats are relatively low-maintenance cats, but they still require basic care:

• Brushing: Regular brushing (a few times a week) helps remove loose hair and prevent matting.
• Diet and Hydration: Provide a high-quality diet appropriate for their age and activity level. Fresh water should always be available.
• Scratching Post: Offer a scratching post to help them maintain their claws and prevent them from scratching furniture.
• Veterinary Care: Regular checkups are essential for maintaining your cat’s health.

British cats can be good companions in households with children and other pets due to their:

• Tolerance: They are known for their tolerant nature and are less likely to be bothered by children’s unintentional handling (as long as proper supervision is provided).
• Adaptability: While they may not actively seek out constant interaction, they can adapt well to living with other pets if proper introductions are made.

British cats offer a unique combination of traits that make them ideal companions:

• Calm and Undemanding: Their laid-back personality makes them suitable for those who prefer a less demanding feline friend.
• Loyal and Affectionate: They form strong bonds with their humans and show affection in their own subtle ways.
• Relatively Low-Maintenance: Their short coat and easygoing nature require less upkeep compared to some other breeds.

British cats can be wonderful companions, but consider your lifestyle:

• Enjoy Quiet Time: If you appreciate a peaceful environment, their calm demeanor might be a good fit.
• Respectful Interactions: Supervise interactions with children to ensure gentle handling.
• Moderate Grooming Needs: Brushing a few times a week is necessary to maintain their coat.

If you can provide a loving home with these considerations in mind, and adore their plush coat and gentle personality, then a British cat might be the purrfect feline friend for you.
