Our goal is to bring
into your family, another member. That is why we
work extra hard at socializing all our British
Shorthair cats and kittens. I think most people do
not really understand the critical importance of the
window of socialization that lasts only from 2 weeks
to 7 weeks of age. This quote is from Robert Tabor's
Cat Behavior: A complete guide to understanding how
your cat works: "Eileen Karsh established that the
window of the sensitive period for habituating
kittens to people is from two weeks to seven weeks.
Cats handled regularly during this time were
prepared, when older, to stay on someone's lap
longer and approach people more readily. Cats that
were handled after this period, that is from weaning
onwards, behaved no differently from cats that had
not been handled at all. ...All too often, as young
kittens they will not have been handled regularly.
Brought into new homes where they are the focus of
attention they receive lots of handling, yet it
seems this will not socialize them as well as the
little time spent each day before weaning." We
believe this is true, so from the day they are born
they are handled and it has paid off. British
Shorthair kittens that are a joy the minute
they get adjusted to your home. I am not a pressure
salesperson for I believe choosing a member of the
family is a huge decision and a British Shorthair
kitten will not just be a "cat" but a true member
of the family.
Please remember that
you are not the only person inquiring about a
particular kitten and that the Deposit is what will
hold a kitten for you until he/she is ready to
leave. Deposits are nonrefundable. This has been
added for over the years I have people falling in
love with a particular kitten and he/she is sold
before they have committed to he/she, thus being
severely disappointed.
Kittens will be ready to join
your family

RETIREES
When I decide to retire an adult I am looking for a
loving, caring home to place them in. They are
vaccinated, altered and ready to become a member of
your family.
There is a minimal fee of 100.00 for adoption.
Transportation via the airlines in the United States
runs $270. I feel that the joy and companionship
they have given me over the years should be shared
with others. If you feel that you could offer a
loving home for one of these wonderful cats
please just let me know.
