*This list does not hold cash value. While we try our best to make sure your kitten goes home with everyone of these items, life gets in the way! Thank you for being understanding. Families that try to pick up their kitten early by not allowing spay procedure will be asked to patiently wait.*

British cats are very gentle and sweet natured. I take extra care to treat them gently. They also tend to be more vocal when picked up, so I especially work on holding them as much as possible.
My British litters are born in either my bedroom or bathroom with a space heater. This allows my husband and I to have frequent access with a moderate amount of daily noises.
During week 1: Kittens are just born and fragile. I make sure they have plenty of heat, clean linens and touch their paws and bellies for short periods of time. I also supplement their nursing with Breeder's edge and a miracle nipple. I make sure they are getting fed and monitor their health closely. This is round the clock checking!
During week 2: Kittens have doubled, sometimes tripled in size. Because the kittens start to meow a lot when holding them, I make sure to cup them tight. I make sure to keep sessions super short, but frequent to build a positive experience. I notice the kittens start to relax and go back to sleep even while I am holding them. I continue to gently touch their paws, belly and ears. And lots and lots of kisses...
For week 3: I start to hold kittens for longer periods time, even taking them to cuddle on the couch or bed. I also will take short walks around the house with a kitten in tow. At this time I also vacuum around the kittens as well as playing YouTube sound exposure videos on low volume. These activities help a kitten become unfazed by day to day life. I make sure kittens are comfortable during this process and not in distress in anyway as that could have a negative effect on a kitten's mental health.
During week 4: I take a few minutes a day with a q-tip and practice "brushing teeth", the sound of the blow dryer, practice nail clipping and practice running a comb through their backside. I continue to touch paw pads, belly's and ears to get every kitten used to normal handling. I find much greater success in starting this handling process early.
During week 5-6: Kittens have been moved to a larger play area. They are now learning to litter box train. I play YouTube sound exposure videos a bit louder all throughout the day while my husband is at work and I have head phones on :D. These videos include children playing, pots & pans, car noises, even fireworks and blow drying sounds. I make a special point to carry kittens around while doing household chores. While this may take my normal cleaning 10x longer, the value of a young British kitten being so comfortable with being carried is very important to me! At this time I also make friends with my kittens. This means not always picking them up or petting them whenever, but asking 'permission'. My kittens instantly adore me that much more!
For week 6-8: Kittens are playing, exploring, climbing and already fully eating raw solid food. They may nurse 1-2 times a day slowly tapering off. I never remove mother. She provides valuable lessons to her kittens up until the moment they leave. At this age I allow visitors such as friends and family to come hold and socialize my kittens. Kittens are being played with, photographed, held and cuddled everyday!
During 8-12 weeks: Kittens visit 1-2 daycares of children ages 3-5 owned by a close friend. Here they are exposed to lots of smells, sounds and a variety of supervised children holding them. Once kittens are 12 weeks they are also taken to LCWW cat show to be held by 50-100 guests. This is one of the most important stages! All handling is supervised and done with care. Kittens get plenty of breaks and are on pause if they seem overwhelmed. Kittens also get many experiences in a carrier!
From 12-14 weeks: Kittens have now been spayed/neutered and are ready to go to their new homes. They may have been bathed 1-2 times already, but I also practice calm baths by using a lickable cat treat. This way kittens associate baths with a positive experience. Kittens are also used to the blow dryer and a pet dryer box. Kittens are also used to having their nails clipped, their bodies brushed and faux teeth brushing.
Just after making a deposit on your kitten, there will still be several weeks before your kitten can go home. They will visit the vet office 1-2 times and kittens usually go home around 13-14 weeks. This length of time allows the kitten to become strong and develop adequate social and grooming skills. You’ll want to set up a designated kitten room for the first few weeks when your kitten goes home.
We are a 100% raw fed cattery. While you are not required to feed raw, I highly recommend it! If you'd like to learn how to raw feed visit my Raw Diet 101 page for step by step.
All of our kittens grow up to learn how to use a litter box with practice using a litter robot as well as being in a carrier, nails clipped and using a pet dryer box. You must have your own vet appointment scheduled within no less than 3 days and no more than 10 days of your kitten going home.
You are also required to have pet insurance for a minimum of 1 year beginning 1 week before pick up. I recommend PetsBest Pet Insurance.
All our cats HCM scanned by a certified echocardiologist and OFA ophthalmologist.
My cats are also genetically tested through Wisdom Panel & Base Paws or Orivet which include HCM, PKD1, MSPV1 and 100+ other genetic conditions.
You can find links to testing under each king & Queen on the Parents page.
Each cat additionally is tested for FELV/FIV and fecal & Upper respiratory PCR screened before integrating into my cattery.
We believe in doing the absolute most to provide families with healthy kittens!
FaceTime is available to those who have reserved a kitten. ♥️
If you'd like to meet me and help socialize my kittens you can book a kitten cuddle session.
Kitten Cuddle Corner is not included with my kitten adoptions. Keep in mind that the purpose of kitten cuddles is not for a meet and greet of all my cats, but to play and socialize my kittens. Most adult cats may not be viewable during your visit.
Can't wait to see you!
Yes, British cats shed. The shorthair tends to shed more than the longhair, but the longhair has texture similar to Persians and needs frequent combing. This is not a hypoallergenic breed.
There are however awesome products that can drastically reduce Allergens on the fur. Products like Allerpet rubbed on your cat once a month really helpa! As well as Purina LiveClear food has shown to significantly reduce allergies.
While the Golden British are a lazier breed, they do love their humans. They want to be cuddled next to you or sitting on your laptop while you are working. They do best with their human close by. It is okay to have a regular work day.
However if you travel a lot and do not intend on bringing your kitten with you, a British is not ideal. They will become sad if left alone for days at a time. Most cats sleep during the day though and will not miss you for a typical work day.
I do not offer a “health guarantee” promising lifelong wellness. Instead, I offer a Replacement Warranty; a promise to provide a new kitten in specific situations where serious health issues or congenital conditions arise under the terms outlined.
