Buying a British Shorthair in San Antonio
If you are comparing us against a local San Antonio listing, the questions worth asking any breeder are the same ones we'd want you to ask us: are both parents on site, is the cattery TICA registered under the breeder's own name, and can you see cardiac and genetic screening results for the sire and dam. Our TICA profile is public and linked from every page of this site precisely so you can check.
Military families relocating through Lackland or Randolph: talk to us early. We have placed kittens with families who then PCS'd overseas, and there is paperwork involved that is much easier to arrange before the kitten goes home than after.
We may be relocating overseas with the military. Can the kitten travel?
Yes. Canan has placed cats internationally for years. Rabies timing, microchip standards and import permits vary a lot by destination country, and some require a waiting period of several months, so tell us your likely destination when you reserve and we'll sequence the vaccinations to fit.

Questions from San Antonio buyers
We may be relocating overseas with the military. Can the kitten travel?
Yes. Canan has placed cats internationally for years. Rabies timing, microchip standards and import permits vary a lot by destination country, and some require a waiting period of several months, so tell us your likely destination when you reserve and we'll sequence the vaccinations to fit.
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.
