Getting your British Shorthair kitten
We work on a first come first served basis, so it is important to get your name on our waiting list as soon as possible. Please note that most people decide to pay their deposit straight away, therefore, the only way to secure a kitten is by contact us.
If you want to be on a waiting list but no litter is available on that moment, you will be given an estimated date when the next litter will be available.
Deposits are non-refundable.
1. Search/browsing
When deciding on bringing a new fur baby into your home it is important to discuss with your family before. Ask your family and yourself:
- Are we allergic to cats?
- Do we have time to spend with the new member of our family?
- Are we sure we can love him/her as our own family?
2. Contact Us
For details, please contact us by phone or email.
3. Meet and greet
If you decided to buy a kitten from us, we can have a video call but we strongly advise to visit us, see the environment where kittens are raised.
Face to face meeting are very important for us because we want to know you better, understand the reasons why you want a kitten. We want to make ensure our kittens go to suitable, loving homes.
4. Meet Us – Reserve
When you visit us, we kindly ask that no more than 2 visitors at once to view the kittens if are under 4 weeks old. At this stage you can only see them and not touch them. After 4 weeks you can play gently with them. This all measures to ensure it isn’t to over whelming mum and her babies.
Our recommendation is to visit us, to see the kittens live, to talk details, show you the toys and what keeps the kittens entertained, etc.
5. New Home
A home with a British Shorthair is a happier home. LuckyBlue would love every loving home in the UK to have one of our gorgeous kittens.
We take the well-being of our kittens very seriously.
They leave GCCF Registered (non-active), fully vaccinated, microchipped, health checked, dewormed, insured for 4 weeks, litter trained and with full pedigrees.
Before Collection
Things you must do BEFORE collection.
- Full payment must be cleared before collection by online transfer only.
- LuckyBlue Agreement must be completed before collection.
- Login and fill in the Transfer of Keepership form to record the microchipped pet on the database to your name.
After Collection
For the first days your kitten will be shy, looking for places to hide. Sometimes it might take 1-2 weeks for them to settle. Here are some things you can do to make sure your kitten feels comfortable upon arrival:
- Ensure your kitten has a safe place with toys, a scratching post, litter, fresh water and dry and we food available.
- Introduce them to a small part of their house at first and show them where everything they need is. Your kitten is fully litter trained and loves eating and playing.
- Spend some time playing with your kitten when he has rested from the journey and feels up to it. This is a great way to bond with your new companion.
Fill the back of the GCCF registration certificate and send it back to them to transfer your kitten to your name and address.
6. Aftercare
Our journey together is not finished. We offer a lifetime of advise with all our kittens.
Our cats are not “just a pet”. It is the heritage of the breeder, a little boy’s best friend, a protector for little girls, therapy for the elderly, a family member, someone’s whole world!
