Nurturing Starts Before Birth: The CatKing Commitment to Genetics and Health

At CatKing Cattery, our commitment to quality begins long before the kittens are born. We work exclusively with bloodlines known for their exceptional health, temperament, and adherence to the traditional British Shorthair standard. Every breeding pair is selected not just for appearance, but for their genetic integrity and balanced nature. Our breeding practices reflect a deep respect for the breed. Health screenings are conducted regularly, ensuring our cats are free from hereditary diseases commonly seen in feline populations. By maintaining strict health protocols, our clients can confidently reserve kittens with the assurance of excellent long-term wellness.

We also pay close attention to early socialization and gentle handling techniques. From birth, our kittens are introduced to different textures, sounds, and human interaction in a way that encourages calm, affectionate personalities. This early foundation plays a crucial role in the way our kittens transition smoothly into new homes—an aspect that consistently distinguishes CatKing Cattery’s British shorthair and longhair cats from others.
