Buying a British Shorthair in Austin
Austin buyers tend to ask more questions about genetic testing than anywhere else we deliver, which we're glad about. Both parents of every litter are FIV and FeLV negative, HCM screened, and PKD tested where the line calls for it, and we will show you the actual paperwork, not just say the words.
One Austin-specific note: the heat. If you're taking delivery in July or August we schedule for early morning, and the kitten travels in a climate-controlled car the entire way. We don't do midday summer handovers.
Can I see the health testing paperwork before I put a deposit down?
Absolutely. Ask and we'll email you the parents' test results and TICA registration before you send a cent. Any breeder who won't do that is telling you something important.

Questions from Austin buyers
Can I see the health testing paperwork before I put a deposit down?
Absolutely. Ask and we'll email you the parents' test results and TICA registration before you send a cent. Any breeder who won't do that is telling you something important.
How do I reserve a British Shorthair kitten?
Fill in the reservation form on this site and you'll immediately get a customer number on screen: something like BGC-2607-4H2K. Canan then calls or emails you within 24 hours to talk through which kitten suits your household. If it's a good fit, a $500 deposit holds that specific kitten and the balance is due when it goes home. You do not need Instagram or any social media account to reserve; phone and email work perfectly well.
How much do your kittens cost?
Pet kittens generally run between $2,200 and $4,500 depending on color, coat and quality. Traditional blues sit at the lower end; golden shaded and golden chinchilla, especially in British Longhair, sit at the top. Every listed kitten shows its own price. Breeding rights are priced separately and are only ever sold to established, registered catteries.
What health testing do the parents have?
Every breeding cat is FIV and FeLV negative, screened for HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most significant heart condition in the breed), and PKD tested where the line calls for it. They also have regular veterinary examinations. Ask and we will email you the actual results for a specific kitten's sire and dam before you pay anything.
How old are kittens when they go home?
Twelve to fourteen weeks, never earlier. Kittens taken from their mother and littermates at eight weeks miss a critical stretch of social learning and are measurably more likely to develop biting, litter box and anxiety problems. Any breeder offering you an eight-week-old British Shorthair is cutting a corner at your cat's expense.
Do you deliver, and how far?
Pickup in Houston is free. Ground delivery by car covers all of Texas. Canan drives the kitten herself rather than using a courier. For the rest of the United States your kitten flies in-cabin with a professional pet nanny and is handed to you at your arrival gate. We do not ship cats in cargo.
