British Shorthair & British Longhair Kittens in Calgary

Calgary is a city that loves its animals, from Stampede week to winter dog walks along the Bow River, and searches for kittens for sale in Calgary keep climbing. CatKing Cattery raises British Shorthair kittens and British Longhair kittens in Toronto and delivers them to Calgary families who want a documented, show-quality program rather than a classified ad. Aspen Woods, Lake Bonavista, Beltline condos and acreages outside the city all have CatKing graduates in residence.

What Calgary Buyers Should Ask Any Breeder

Before you reserve a British Shorthair kitten in Calgary, ask three questions. Are the parents genetically tested, and can you see the results? Is the cattery registered with TICA, CFA or WCF, and do its cats actually show? What health protection stands behind the kitten in writing? At CatKing the answers are yes, yes and a lifetime breed-related genetic disease protection, backed by a registered Ontario corporation. That is the standard a Calgary cat breeder search should end at.

Our Colours: the Golden Shaded Family

• Golden shaded: warm, glowing, green-eyed, our signature colour
• Blue golden shaded: a cool silver-blue cast over gold
• Lilac golden shaded: the softest and rarest shade we breed
• Point colour kittens: golden shaded point, blue golden shaded point, lilac golden shaded point and silver shaded point, all blue-eyed
• Golden shaded and white, in occasional litters

Both British Shorthair and British Longhair kittens are available across these colours, and waitlist families choose first.

Delivery From Toronto to Calgary

Your kitten flies to Calgary International Airport on an arranged itinerary, and we handle the planning with you so pickup is straightforward. Because Alberta winters are serious, we time winter deliveries carefully and your kitten travels with the comfort measures we use for all our flights. From reservation to go-home day, you receive photo and video updates, so by the time your kitten lands at YYC, you already know their face, their personality and their habits.

Built for Alberta Homes

British cats are famously unbothered by a chinook-week temperature swing or a deep freeze outside the window. They are indoor cats by preference: calm, solid, people-oriented without being clingy. A British Longhair's extra coat is easy to keep with a few short brushes a week, and a Shorthair asks for even less. For Calgary families balancing work, mountains and home life, that steadiness is exactly the appeal.

Start with Available Kittens

Begin with the kittens already looking for homes. If a kitten among our Available Kittens is the one, reserve that kitten directly with a signed contract and 50 percent deposit, and we start planning the flight to Calgary. If the colour or timing you want is not there yet, the waitlist route — set out at the end of this page — is how families secure first choice of a future litter instead.

First Week Home in Calgary

Set your kitten up in one room to start, with litter, food, water and a scratcher, and let them claim the rest of the house room by room. Calgary's dry air is worth one adjustment: a water fountain encourages drinking and keeps that plush coat hydrated through the winter heating season. Your kitten arrives with a complete vet file, and a first visit to your Calgary veterinarian in the opening weeks keeps vaccines and records seamless.

Chinooks, coats and shedding

British cats shed modestly twice a year as the light changes, and a chinook week does not fool them. Weekly brushing for Shorthairs and a few short sessions for Longhairs keep loose coat on the brush instead of the sofa. During Stampede fireworks and summer thunderstorms alike, this breed's default setting is unbothered, one of the reasons Calgary families recommend them to each other.

If your home includes acreage outside the city, the same rule applies as in a Beltline condo: British cats are indoor cats, and they will watch the deer from the window with deep professional interest.

About the breed itself

The British Shorthair is one of the oldest recognized breeds, descended from the sturdy cats of Roman-era Britain and refined into the round, plush, teddy-bear cat the world knows today. The Longhair shares the same foundation with a longer coat. What has never changed is the temperament: level-headed, affectionate and quietly funny, a cat bred for companionship in northern homes, which is precisely what a Calgary home is.

If no kitten on our Available Kittens page is the one, or none is listed right now, joining the waitlist for a future litter takes a $500 CAD plus tax deposit ($565 CAD) and gives you priority selection from upcoming litters. Reserve with a signed contract and 50 percent deposit, and the balance is due on go-home day. If you have been searching cat breeder Calgary or British Shorthair kittens Alberta, we are glad you found the documented option.
