TICA REGISTERED CATTERY



Colorado, USA.


Specializing in British Shorthairs with European Champion Lines


Welcome!

We are a small TICA registered British Shorthair Cattery Located just 30 minutes north of Denver , Colorado.


  •   Megan is a Veterinarian so she put a lot of thought into things before starting her dream cattery.  Please take a peek and feel free to contact us about any questions you may have. But first,  please read our "about us" section below and kitty/pricing policy/info pages.


  • Our kitties are our family first! Their health and wellbeing are most important to us. Our priority is loving our pet kitties first and foremost.  A lot of love and care goes into providing the very best for them. They are never caged and we do not operate as a breeding facility but rather a small hobby with very few litters a  year.


  • Kitties are raised around children and pet dog.


  • We test all adults for FELV/FIV/PKD/HCM/ and perform a 45 trait genetic health panel before breeding them


  • Being an emergency room and ICU veterinarian, Megan cares deeply for preserving only the best of the breed including both genetics, health, and temperament. Unfortunately, she has seen the heartache diseases like PKD and HCM cause for both people and their fur babies and does everything possible to decrease the chance of these health conditions.


  • We feed mainly raw! Our kitties eat Blue Ridge Beef "kitten mix"! We understand that this doesn't fit into everyone's lifestyle. 

  •  We do prefer that you feed a wholesome diet too.  But, we also supplement feeding with orijen kitten kibble and  TIKI canned wet food and Tiki baby cat puree  to help those families who cannot feed raw. The kitties even prefer raw however.


  • Admittedly,  Vet school doesn't teach much about nutrition and encourages diets like RC/Hills/Purina. Although there is a time and place for certain diets , Megan believes felines should eat a more natural and wholesome  "prey" diet like those of their wild counterparts.  Megan has collaborated with veterinary feline experts  and experienced breeders who agree with feeding the prey model diet.



ABOUT US


Megan's love and passion for animals started before she could talk. By 5 years old, she knew she wanted to be a veterinarian and own a farm.  Although she is still working on the dream of having her farm come true, she has a large loving home full of spoiled children (or some may call them pets).


Megan's always been a bit of a book nerd. She first obtained her bachelors degree in nutritional biochemistry, went on to get  a post baccalaureate in  biomedical sciences, and then graduated veterinary medical school.


 After graduating veterinary medical school, she completed a rotating internship. During her rotating internship she fell in love with caring for the babies in the ICU and being able to change pets and their families lives in such extreme and intense situations.  She has worked the entirety of her career in high volume specialty centers collaborating and learning from the best criticalists, cardiologists, internists, surgeons, neurologists, etc.  She is very thankful for her journey in veterinary medicine and strives to provide top notch care to her patients and her fur babies both at home and at work.


So back to her dream of having a farm and a house full of pets :) Megan has had a love for British Shorthairs for over a decade.  But as many others have probably experienced, it can be challenging to find them in America. Or maybe you just learned about the breed and are curious to learn more about them?  Well, let me tell you, when she learned more about this special breed about 10 years ago, she immediately fell in love and couldn't wait to have her own. However, life was busy and her education brought her all over the world. But, she knew once she was rooted in one place she would make the dream happen. 


But see, one who loves Brits easily understands the obsession that comes with them and before you know it you have multiple and then you  want to share this wonderful breed with everyone. SO through LOTS OF PERSISTENCE AND COUNTLESS hours/days/years of research and networking she decided to take the leap in the breeding/showing/community in  2023.



Megan is supported by her husband and daughter who both love and spoil the kitties too. You will often find their daughter lugging kittens throughout the house and strolling them around the neighborhood in her pet stroller.


Megan's husband  is often found cuddling and playing with the kitties. He went from not being so sure about kitties to fully supporting Megan's passion and falling in love with the breed too! Plus, he also makes Megan's dreams come true by building all of her crazy ideas like "cat walls, trees, and catios."
