Reserve a kitten
Questions about reserving
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.
What is my customer number for?
It's your reference for everything that follows. Quote it when you call, text or email and Canan can pull up your enquiry, which kitten you're interested in and where your reservation stands, instead of trying to work out which of several Sarahs you are. Write it down or keep the confirmation email.
Is the deposit refundable?
The $500 deposit is non-refundable if you simply change your mind, because holding a kitten means turning other families away. It is fully refundable if anything happens on our side: if the kitten becomes unwell, fails its final vet check, or we cannot deliver the kitten you reserved for any reason. It can also be transferred to a future litter if your circumstances change and you talk to us early.
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.
There are no kittens available right now. What do I do?
Join the waitlist through the same reservation form: pick 'Join the waitlist' and tell us what you're hoping for. Waitlisted families hear about a litter before it's published on the site, which in practice is how most of our golden kittens get placed. There is no charge to be on the list.
Can I visit the cattery?
Yes, by appointment, and we encourage it. You'll meet the kittens' mother and usually the father too. We ask visitors not to come straight from another cattery, shelter or pet store on the same day. Young kittens have immature immune systems and diseases like panleukopenia travel on clothing and shoes.
