British Shorthair cats and kittens from Ouachtia British Shorthairs

Our goal is to bring into your family, another member. That is why we work extra hard at socializing all our British Shorthair cats and kittens. I think most people do not really understand the critical importance of the window of socialization that lasts only from 2 weeks to 7 weeks of age. This quote is from Robert Tabor's Cat Behavior: A complete guide to understanding how your cat works: "Eileen Karsh established that the window of the sensitive period for habituating kittens to people is from two weeks to seven weeks. Cats handled regularly during this time were prepared, when older, to stay on someone's lap longer and approach people more readily. Cats that were handled after this period, that is from weaning onwards, behaved no differently from cats that had not been handled at all. ...All too often, as young kittens they will not have been handled regularly. Brought into new homes where they are the focus of attention they receive lots of handling, yet it seems this will not socialize them as well as the little time spent each day before weaning." We believe this is true, so from the day they are born they are handled and it has paid off. British Shorthair kittens that are a joy the minute they get adjusted to your home. I am not a pressure salesperson for I believe choosing a member of the family is a huge decision and a British Shorthair kitten will not just be a "cat" but a true member of the family.

Please remember that you are not the only person inquiring about a particular kitten and that the Deposit is what will hold a kitten for you until he/she is ready to leave. Deposits are nonrefundable. This has been added for over the years I have people falling in love with a particular kitten and he/she is sold before they have committed to he/she, thus being severely disappointed.

Kittens will be ready to join your family

RETIREES
When I decide to retire an adult I am looking for a loving, caring home to place them in. They are vaccinated, altered and ready to become a member of your family.

There is a minimal fee of 100.00 for adoption.

Transportation via the airlines in the United States runs $270. I feel that the joy and companionship they have given me over the years should be shared with others. If you feel that you could offer a loving home for one of these wonderful cats please just let me know.
