About Royal British Shorthair
We have been married since 2007 and have four incredible children ages from 14-23. We have given ourselves wholly to become the most professional breeders in the United Kingdom.
Welcome to Royal British Shorthair, where love, care, and quality come together to raise the sweetest and most affectionate British Shorthair kittens. Our mission is simple — to nurture healthy, gentle, and well-socialized kittens who bring endless love and happiness to their forever families.
At Royal British Shorthair, we’re more than just breeders — we’re a small, family-based cattery built on compassion, ethics, and experience. Each of our kittens is raised in a safe, loving home environment, surrounded by warmth, care, and gentle socialization from the very beginning.
We take great pride in maintaining the highest breeding standards. All of our parent cats are vet-checked, DNA-tested, and carefully selected for their exceptional health, gentle temperament, and stunning coats. Each kitten is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and thoroughly health-checked by a licensed veterinarian before joining their forever family.
Our British Shorthairs are cherished for their gentle temperament, intelligence, and luxurious, low-shedding coats, making them perfect companions for families, first-time cat owners, and emotional support or therapy settings alike.
We believe that finding the perfect kitten is about more than appearance — it’s about connection and compatibility. That’s why we stay in close contact with our new kitten families, providing ongoing support and guidance as your Ragdoll grows. When you choose Royal British Shorthair, you’re not just adopting a kitten — you’re joining a caring community built on trust, love, and devotion to this amazing breed.
Our Distinctives
What sets Royal British Shorthair apart?
1
First and foremost, our Fluffy Hearts Ragdolls come from some of the finest pedigrees in the world.
At Royal British Shorthair, our kittens are born from exceptional, carefully curated pedigrees. Each breeding cat is selected for robust health, the quintessential calm temperament, and adherence to the classic British Shorthair standard. Our bloodlines are rooted in excellence, featuring champion and top-quality genetics that provide a foundation for the health, beauty, and stable character we are known for.
We believe pedigree and upbringing are equally vital. Beyond genetics, every kitten is nurtured within our family home. They receive daily, gentle socialization and are acclimated to the gentle rhythms of household life, fostering the confidence and easygoing nature that defines the breed. Our goal is to produce kittens that are not only physically stunning but also emotionally secure and well-rounded.
When you welcome a Royal British Shorthair kitten into your home, you are gaining more than a pet—you are beginning a lifetime of quiet companionship and devoted affection. Our commitment to genetic integrity, health, and temperament ensures every kitten has an impeccable start, destined to become a cherished and steady heart of your family.

Secondly, we ensure your kitten's good health.
Our commitment at Royal British Shorthair begins long before a kitten’s first breath, rooted in the meticulous care of our breeding cats. We ensure optimal health, a premium diet, and well-being for every parent. Throughout her pregnancy, each queen is closely monitored, receiving superior nutrition, approved supplements, and a stress-free environment to support a healthy development.
We are present for every birth, providing gentle assistance to ensure each kitten arrives safely. The first critical hours are spent ensuring every newborn is warm, nursing well, and thriving under vigilant care.
Within the first days, each kitten and queen receives a veterinary assessment. Our kittens are monitored daily, weaned onto a premium diet formulated for robust growth, and supported with species-appropriate supplements. This foundational care is designed to build strong immune systems and promote the resilient, hearty vitality the British Shorthair breed is known for.

Thirdly, we employ every possible measure to form good emotional health in each Ragdoll kitten.
At Royal British Shorthair, we cultivate the breed’s signature calm and steady temperament from day one. From birth, our kittens are gently and consistently handled, building a foundational sense of security and trust. This early, positive human interaction fosters their innate loyalty and ease, preparing them to become confident, affectionate family members.
Socialization is integral to our program. Our kittens are naturally acclimated to the gentle rhythms of a family home—experiencing everyday sounds, household activities, and respectful interaction with both adults and children. Through positive exposure and secure interactions, they develop the emotional resilience and quiet confidence that allows them to adapt gracefully to their new forever homes.
By prioritizing this nurturing upbringing, we ensure every Royal British Shorthair kitten is not only a picture of breed-standard beauty but also of exceptional emotional poise. You can welcome your new companion knowing they are balanced, well-adjusted, and ready to offer a lifetime of dignified companionship.
