American Shorthair Cat Breeders List

Responsible American Shorthair Catteries

If you have decided that a purebred American Shorthair kitten is the purr-fect match for you, it is of utmost importance that you acquire your kitten from a reputable American Shorthair breeder. Just as dogs and puppies are exploited by puppy mills, backyard breeders and pet stores in - so are purebred cats and kittens. Purchasing a American Shorthair kitten from any source other than a responsible breeder can be a one-way ticket to heartbreak, since kittens from these sources can have a shopping list of health and behaviour problems.

What should I look for in a responsible American Shorthair cat breeder?

1. Knowledge - A responsible American Shorthair cat breeder will be very well educated about the breed, and health and temperament of her cats and kittens.

2. Care - A responsible American Shorthair cat breeder is caring. Her cats and kittens are loved and treated as members of the family.

3. Concern - A responsible American Shorthair cat breeder will be concerned about the well-being of her cats and kittens. She'll want to know a lot about you, and put you through a "screening" process before agreeing to place one of her kittens with you.

4. Accountability - A responsible American Shorthair cat breeder will follow a carefully selective breeding program. The goal of each breeding should be to produce the healthiest, soundest kittens possible, while adhering to the breed standard set forth by the governing cat breed association. In addition to this, the breeder should offer, and stand behind, a reasonable health guarantee on her kittens.

5. Commitment - A responsible American Shorthair cat breeder will be committed to the welfare of her kittens. She should be willing to offer you a reasonable amount of post-sale support to answer any questions you may have as you adjust to life as a kitten owner. She should want to keep in touch with you and receive photos and updates on how your kitten is doing. The breeder should also be willing to assist you in re-homing your kitten, should circumstances prevent your fulfilling your commitment to raising the feline, for any reason.
