Buying a British Shorthair in Houston
That matters more than most buyers realise. The uncomfortable truth about buying a British Shorthair in Texas is that a large share of the kittens advertised online are shipped in from out of state by people who have never met the parents, and a smaller but real share come from overseas kitten mills using stolen photos. Being able to drive across town and put your hands on the mother cat rules out essentially all of it.
Houston families usually visit twice: once when the kittens are around five weeks old to choose and place a deposit, then again at twelve to fourteen weeks to take their kitten home.
Can I visit the cattery before I commit to a kitten?
Yes, and we'd rather you did. Visits are by appointment so the cats aren't disrupted, and we ask that you haven't been around unfamiliar cats that day. Young kittens have immature immune systems. Text or call Canan at +1 (832) 983-4297 to arrange a time.

Questions from Houston buyers
Can I visit the cattery before I commit to a kitten?
Yes, and we'd rather you did. Visits are by appointment so the cats aren't disrupted, and we ask that you haven't been around unfamiliar cats that day. Young kittens have immature immune systems. Text or call Canan at +1 (832) 983-4297 to arrange a time.
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.
