TICA REGISTERED CATTERY Specializing in British Shorthairs with European Lineage


Welcome! So happy you stopped by :) We are a TICA registered British Shorthair Cattery Located just 30 minutes north of Denver , Colorado.


  Although we are new to breeding Brits as of late 2023/early 2024 we are not new to  British shorthairs !  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 first.


Our kittens are raised in a loving home. Our adult kitties are part of our family and socialized with children and dogs daily. We  really do take pride in only providing the very best for them.


All adult cats are tested  for FELV/FIV/PKD, HCM via echocardiogram with a boarded  veterinary cardiologist and  unique to us we also perform a blood test called a proBNP. This is NOT the genetic marker test  since that is NOT available for brits yet but instead a marker for heart stress. This is a test we use as veterinarians for patients to determine if there is any stress or strain on the heart. Please see link listed below for more information.


We also perform full genetic  screening panels on all of our adult kitties before considering them for our breeding program. This is very important to us for many  ethical and personal reasons. 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 raw! Our kitties eat Blue Ridge Beef and Small batch. 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 , she believes felines should eat a more natural and wholesome diet like those of their wild counterparts.  She has collaborated with veterinary feline experts and her mentors to learn more about kitty nutrition as this is such an important part of a cats health.  We understand that this doesn't fit into everyone's lifestyle.   We do prefer that you feed a wholesome diet. Please feel free to reach out and chat about any nutritional questions.
