Breeds
British Shorthair
British Shorthairs are often described as a lazy breed by pet owners as they do tend to have a low activety levels as adults. They are easy going, laid back and do live well with other cats, but are also fine on their own.
At Warvellous all out cats are brought up together and live in harmony so our cats are socialised with older children, other cats and dogs. We believe this does make it easier for the cats and kittens to adjust in their new homes and settle in smoother.
Since 2018 and have breed a variety of colours including; blue, black, chocolate, lilac, red, white in solid and bicolour. We love all colours and patterns and aim to continue trying all colours. Breeding is a continues journey to improving our lines which takes time and patience. But the most important thing for us is that are kittens are healthy and thriving.
Before we breed any of our cats we make sure all our cats are tested for PKD, Fiv and FeLV and that the test results are negative.
We register our British Shorthairs with GCCF or TICA this depends on where the dam is registered. Unfortunatley as a pet owner you cannot give you the choice of where we register you kitten. But be assured you are guaranteed a pedigree kitten. At Warvellous we will never offer a non registered pedigree kitten who is under the age of 13 weeks old.
Maine Coon
For a long time, Maine Coons have been a breed i have been wanting to own as well as share with others. I am very glad 2024 has been the year where i could begin my journey with them. Maine Coons do have a higher activity level to our Brititsh but this does not cause any conflicts. We offer our Maine Coons a lot more stimulation and activities to keep them entertained, we believe they are a smart breed and are capable of a lot. Of course you will be wondering about their size too. So as expected they are bigger than British or other similar breeds, however, they are not HUGE. With them having longer paws, and bodies they do reach on to higher surfaces so we recommend thinking outside the box when having a Maine Coon, if you are in doubt if they will reach somethubg the chances are they will.
Although we are still to have a litter, we am wanting to aim to breed healthy, big cats in variety of tabby patters with and without white.
Our girls are tested for PKDef, SMA, HCM, FIV and FeLV prior to breeding. Since we currently do not own our own stud, the stud boys we will opt for will have the same tests at a minimmum. We do hope that in the near future we will find our own perfect boy for our program.
Our girls come from European (Hungary) Lines and it is important to find a stud which will enable us to continue breeding quality type Maine Coons.
Which Breed is for me?
British Shorthairs (BSH) and Maine Coons (MCO) are two very different breeds. Before buying a cat/kitten you should spend some time on researching a little about a particaular breed and seeing if they are most suited to you expectations, life style and needs.
BSH and MCO are very different and quite opposit breeds but they do get alone just fine with any other breeds of cats. Their activity levels are different so when looking for a companion please bare that in mind.
However, one thing that should be considered for both breeds is that they are not made for “the streets” and should be kept indoors at all times unless you build them a catio or cat proof your garden and let them out under supervison in the safe space. Some people do like to harness train their kitties but just be aware that once you show you cat/kitten the outdoor there’s a high chance they will want to continue to explore rather than sit in. This doesn’t mean you should let them roam, they simply are not “street smart” breeds.
