British Shorthair & British Longhair Kittens in Markham

Markham pairs heritage main streets in Unionville with tech campuses along Highway 7, and its neighbourhoods, Cornell, Berczy, Wismer, Angus Glen and old Markham Village among them, are full of families who keep their animals well. What searches for British Shorthair kittens in Markham and kittens for sale in Markham rarely turn up is a documented pedigree program close to home. CatKing Cattery fills that gap from Toronto, down Highway 404: a registered, show-proven cattery raising golden shaded British Shorthair and British Longhair kittens, with Markham graduates already settled from Unionville to Cornell.

What Every Markham Kitten Goes Home With

• TICA registration, from a TICA, CFA & WCF registered cattery
• Two veterinary health exams and two FVRCP core vaccines, with records
• Internal and external deworming before travel
• 30 days of pet insurance
• Lifetime breed-related genetic disease protection, in writing
• Lifelong consulting: your breeder stays a message away

Life in Markham With a British Cat

British cats are indoor cats, and Markham homes suit them at every size: a Unionville townhouse, a Cornell semi, or a detached house backing onto a ravine lot. The breed is quiet enough for home offices on both sides of Highway 7, tidy enough for formal rooms, and steady enough for busy family schedules. The Rouge River trails and the pond at Toogood are watched from windows, never roamed, and the cat's own program is small: meals on a routine, short daily play, and a person nearby to supervise.

Shorthair or Longhair?

The Shorthair is the classic teddy bear: a dense, plush double coat, one brushing a week, and a round, composed face. The Longhair keeps the same temperament and adds a long, flowing coat that takes two or three short brushing sessions a week to stay glorious. Both are bred in our golden shaded colours, both are gentle with children and civil with other pets, and both grow into the same calm adult presence. The honest difference is grooming time and how much cat you want to see across the room.

The Colours We Breed for Markham

Golden shaded is our signature: warm apricot tones and green eyes. Blue golden shaded turns the coat cooler and more silvery, and lilac golden shaded, the rarest, softens it further. Point colour litters produce blue-eyed kittens in golden shaded point, blue golden shaded point, lilac golden shaded point and silver shaded point. Every colour comes in both coats, and the most requested shades are spoken for from the waitlist first. If your search was British Longhair kittens Markham with a colour chosen already, tell us early and we will watch the litters for you.

How Reserving Works From Markham

Start with our Available Kittens: if a kitten listed there is the one, reserve that kitten directly. If no listed kitten fits, or none is listed right now, join the waitlist for a future litter: a $500 CAD plus tax deposit ($565 CAD) gives your family priority selection from upcoming litters. When you choose your kitten, a signed contract and 50 percent deposit hold them, the balance is due on go-home day, and photo and video updates follow your kitten in between. Many Markham families collect their kitten from our Toronto cattery in person; delivery across Markham can also be arranged.

Your Kitten's First Week in Markham

Set your kitten up in one quiet room, with litter, the food they know, fresh water and a scratcher, then open the home room by room. Because our kittens grow up underfoot rather than in a kennel, the sounds of a Markham household are familiar within days. We send the complete medical file, and a first appointment with your Markham veterinarian in the opening weeks keeps the vaccine schedule seamless.

For households with dogs

Introduce them gradually and supervised, and expect the usual British outcome. This breed is famously unflustered: a few careful meetings, one shared sunny room, and most dogs and British cats reach a polite treaty that turns into genuine companionship.
