At CatKing Cattery, responsible breeding isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the foundation of everything we do. It’s a commitment to the health, well-being, and ethical treatment of every feline in our care. As a legally registered corporation in Ontario, Canada, and a TICA and CFA-registered cattery, we ensure rigorous standards and passionate dedication that define our breeding practices.

Holding Ourselves to the Highest Standards

Our registration with TICA (The International Cat Association), CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association), and WCF (World Cat Federation) ensures that we operate under a globally recognised framework for ethical and responsible breeding. These governing bodies set strict criteria for breeders, covering everything from living conditions to lineage documentation. By adhering to these standards, we help preserve the integrity of our kittens while promoting animal welfare.

As a cattery legally incorporated in Ontario, we take compliance seriously. Every part of our operation — from housing and hygiene to nutrition and breeding protocols — aligns with both provincial and international regulations. This dedication to full transparency and legality ensures not only the health and safety of our kittens but also builds trust with our clients across the globe.

Prioritizing Health, Not Just Looks

At CatKing Cattery in Toronto, beauty and health go hand in hand. Our kittens are known for their plush coats, round faces, and captivating expressions — hallmarks of the British Shorthair and British Longhair cat breed. But we don’t stop at appearances. Each kitten undergoes a full health screening, including genetic testing and veterinary examinations. This helps us identify and eliminate inherited conditions, giving our kittens the best possible start in life.

Our responsible breeding program is designed with long-term well-being in mind. We never overbreed, and we space out litters to ensure that both queens and kittens receive the attention and care they need. Proper socialization, age-appropriate weaning, and environmental enrichment all play a role in shaping healthy, confident kittens.

A Transparent Approach to Breeding

We believe that transparency is key to responsible breeding. That’s why we’re open about our practices and bloodlines. Every kitten we raise comes with a documented health record and pedigree, so families know exactly where their kitten comes from and what to expect.

Our commitment to openness extends to our breeding choices. We select breeding pairs not only based on appearance but also on temperament, genetic compatibility, and overall vitality. This careful selection process helps us maintain the high standards we’ve become known for.
