British Shorthair breed information, kitten care advice, cattery news and stories from Cuddleton, an experienced British Shorthair breeder in Perth, Western Australia.

Bringing home a British Shorthair kitten is an exciting time. To make the first days go smoothly it helps to prepare your home and understand what your new kitten will need.

The British Shorthair has a personality that wins people over instantly. They are calm, confident, and quietly affectionate. This is a breed that enjoys spending time with you but also values its independence, making them wonderfully low-maintenance companions.
British Shorthairs come in a beautiful range of solid colours. This simple guide covers the main colours you will see in Australia so you can learn what to expect and choose the look you love.
The blue British Shorthair is the colour most people picture when they think of this breed. With their plush silver-blue coat and deep copper eyes they are truly breathtaking. Blue is the most popular and most widely bred British Shorthair colour in Australia, which makes it easier to find than some of the rarer shades.
The black British Shorthair is one of the most beautiful and striking colours in this breed. With their deep glossy coat and bright copper or gold eyes they have a look that is both elegant and unforgettable. Black is a recognised pedigree colour in British Shorthairs but it is not one you see every day, which makes it feel even more special when you do.
When you search for cats for sale in Perth you will see a mix of options. There are classified ads, pet shops, rescues, and registered breeders. Each has very different standards for health, temperament, and how kittens are raised. As a breeder myself I believe the very best way to bring a kitten or cat into your life is to buy from a registered breeder who is passionate about their cats and committed to the long term wellbeing of the breed.
When people ask me about brown British Shorthair cats they are usually talking about one of two British Shorthair colours. In the cat fancy we call them chocolate or cinnamon. To most people both colours simply look brown and I can see why.
Bringing your British Shorthair kitten home is exciting, but for your kitten it is also a very big change. They have left the home, people, cats and routines they know, travelled in the car and arrived somewhere completely unfamiliar.
Cuddleton kittens are fed a mix of Royal Canin wet kitten food sachets, Royal Canin kitten biscuits and some raw beef meat.

Kittens go home with insurance cover, and I recommend that families continue cover or choose an insurer that suits them.
