We're a little bit obsessed with British Shorthairs

What started as falling hopelessly in love with a blue boy named Arthur has turned into over a decade of breeding some of Perth's most adored British Shorthairs. Our cats live in our home — not in cages — and every kitten we breed is handled, loved, and socialised from the moment they arrive.

"Persephone has completely taken over our lives in the best possible way. She was so well-socialised when she arrived — confident, curious, and already obsessed with cuddles."
