Buying a British Shorthair in Sugar Land
A lot of our Sugar Land buyers are first-time British Shorthair owners coming from a dog background, and there's one thing worth knowing up front. British Shorthairs are affectionate but not clingy, and they famously dislike being picked up and carried. A well-bred one will sit next to you for hours and squirm the moment you lift it. That is the breed working correctly, not a badly socialised cat.
If a lap-cat that wants to be held is what you're actually after, say so when you visit. Some of our kittens are much more cuddly than others, and Canan will steer you to the right one instead of selling you the wrong one.
Are British Shorthairs good with children?
Very. They're patient and hard to provoke, which is why the breed does well in family homes. The one rule worth teaching kids is not to pick the cat up and carry it around. Sitting beside it is welcomed; being hauled about is not.

Questions from Sugar Land buyers
Are British Shorthairs good with children?
Very. They're patient and hard to provoke, which is why the breed does well in family homes. The one rule worth teaching kids is not to pick the cat up and carry it around. Sitting beside it is welcomed; being hauled about is not.
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.
