Our Mission: Love, Equality, and Stewardship
From day one, our cattery grew from a simple truth: we love British cats, we love all cats, and we respect all animals. Our ideal world is one where every creature lives peacefully and with dignity. Applied to cats, that means they must be bred, raised, and cared for respectfully, never as products. Profit is not our target; wellbeing is. We want cats and people to live happier lives together, and everything we do, breeding choices, home infrastructure and client support. All serve that goal.
How We Built Around That Ideal
Breeding cats: Reserved from renowned, welfare-minded catteries; selected for health, temperament, and type.
Home infrastructure: Family environment designed around how cats naturally live and behave.
Lifetime service: For families who share our values, we provide long-term support, health guarantees, and practical help.
Community mindset: We believe breeders should support their extended family of cats and owners—always.
Ethical breeders don’t run assembly lines; we safeguard a breed’s future with science, ethics, and love. Profit is never the driver. Healthy, well-adjusted British Shorthair and British Longhair kittens and supported families are.
“Lifetime Responsibility” is Our Promise
If a family messages at 3 a.m. about vomiting or diarrhea, we respond immediately, what to watch, what to do next, and when appropriate, we mail emergency supplies at our expense. We conduct regular follow-ups after placement, answer hard questions, and offer reassurance. This aftercare takes time and energy, and we give it gladly.
In contrast, irresponsible sellers vanish after payment, leaving owners alone to face ER bills or missed treatment windows.
Health Costs Far Exceed Short-Term Profit
Our queens have at most three litters every two years. We invest in premium nutrition, enrichment, generous space, routine vet checks, and vaccinations. Shortcut breeding—confining queens and forcing heat–pregnancy–nursing cycles—risks pyometra, stress, and depression. We refuse that.
Our health program includes:
Screening and guarantees for hereditary conditions (e.g., HCM and other genetic diseases).
Testing for FIV, Warranty for FIP and maintaining strict biosecurity.
Full veterinary oversight, including timely vaccinations and wellness care.
Kittens Go Home At 4.5+ Months—Fully Vetted & Socialized
We place kittens at 4.5 months or older so core vaccines (FVRCP + rabies) are complete and protective. Spay/neuter is performed and recovery is supervised—~3 days observation for males and 2+ weeks for females to protect incisions. Meanwhile we focus on socialization: new people, household noise, other animals—so transitions are confident and calm.
Why not earlier? Right after weaning, maternal antibodies wane; sending kittens out at that stage exposes them to viruses/bacteria when they are least protected.
Showing to Protect snd Improve the Breed
We attend TICA shows despite the time, energy, and expense. Showing benchmarks our cats against the standard, brings judge feedback, and connects us with like-minded fanciers. It’s advocacy, not marketing—breed preservation over profit.
Services that Put Cats and Families First
We align every service with welfare and peace of mind:
Health guarantees (hereditary conditions such as HCM; comprehensive health testing including FIP/FIV).
Free boarding for our cats when owners travel.
Lifetime, no-cost consultation for all cats in our clients’ homes—behavior, nutrition, integration, wellness.
Ongoing check-ins and tailored guidance during the critical first months at home.
Where the Money Goes
There is no “extra” profit. Every dollar after costs is reinvested into:
High-quality food and supplements,
Better living spaces and enrichment,
Veterinary care and preventive medicine,
Improving bloodlines ethically,
Supporting local humane efforts.
This is why we’re writing about profit now: to clarify that our ledger mirrors our values. The mission came first; the accounting follows it.
Bottom Line: Guardians, Not Salespeople
A responsible breeder is a guardian of the breed, not a seller of goods. We choose ethics over earnings, long-term health over shortcuts, and lifelong support over one-time transactions. So every family welcomes a kitten who is healthy, confident, and deeply loved.
