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 to take their kitten home somewhere between eight and twelve weeks, on the date Canan sets for that particular kitten.
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

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 HCM-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 deposit of half the kitten's price holds that specific kitten, and the remaining half 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. Price is set per kitten on three things: its color, its exact color code on the pedigree, and its type — modern, baby face, bear face or classic. Traditional blues sit at the lower end. Golden shaded and golden chinchilla sit above them. Our lilac and pink coats sit at the top, because very few of them exist anywhere. 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 and has regular veterinary examinations. Genetic and cardiac testing such as PKD and HCM is done where a line calls for it rather than on a fixed schedule for every cat, so those results are not issued automatically with every kitten. Ask us about a specific kitten's mother and father and we will tell you exactly what has been done for those two cats and send you whatever records exist, before you pay anything. We would rather tell you where the paperwork stops than imply there is more of it than there is.
How old are kittens when they go home?
Between eight and twelve weeks. There is no fixed date, and that is deliberate: Canan decides each kitten's homecoming individually based on how it is nursing and how its growth and development are coming along. A kitten that is fully weaned, eating well and thriving at nine weeks is ready at nine weeks. A littermate that is still leaning on its mother goes home later, whatever the calendar or the buyer says. Twenty years of litters is what makes that judgement worth more than a rule.
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.
