Twenty years of quiet, home-raised British Shorthairs in the Yorkshire Dales

Thistlemere has been breeding British Shorthairs since 2004, specialising in blues, lilacs and bicolours. We breed for health and temperament first: placid, sturdy cats who are happy to be part of busy family life.

All of our breeding cats are tested for PKD and screened for HCM, and our kittens are raised in the house alongside our own pets. Kittens go home at 13 weeks, GCCF registered, microchipped and vaccinated, with insurance, food and a blanket that smells of home.

We only have a handful of litters a year and many kittens go to families who have waited for them, so please do get in touch early.
