Welcome to Catastic Britz

Hello, my name is Donna Whittle.

I have grown up with cats my whole life and have always adored them. After having our three daughters, I decided I wanted to fulfill a dream and breed British Shorthair cats.
Catastic Britz is a new cattery, but have been breeding now for 5 years. We are now situated in the Lockyer Valley, between Ipswich and Toowoomba, QLD.
I have 7 beautiful British Shorthairs, which were obtained from quality and reputable breeders throughout Australia.
I am registered with the Queensland Feline Association as a breeder of British Shorthairs.

The British Shorthair is a brilliant breed of cat

They were first discovered in the alleys of Britain of the 19th Century. They have become well known and loved by people from all walks of life.

The British Shorthair has a compact build, very muscular, strong and well balanced. They have a broad crest; rounded head; broad shoulders, short strong legs; rounded paws and a thick tail at the base. The Brits coat is short & dense and their eyes are wide open & round.

Thou this type of cat can come in many different colours; the most loved colour is the Blue, known as the "British Blue."

They are very intelligent and affectionate, especially with their family, and are great with children and other family pets. Brits are not vocal cats, can rage between 3 to 6 kilograms'(sometimes over ) and live up to 18 years of age.

It can take up to 4 to 5 years for the British Shorthair to fully mature, after this, these cats may slowly become couch potatoes, lie around all day and sleep.

Catastic Britz breed Solids in Blacks, Blues, Lilacs and sometimes Chocolates. We also breed Bi-Colours and Colour Points in blues, Lilacs & Chocolates . Now we breeding Silver Tabbies as well.

Kittens are brought up in our house, around our children and become used to the everyday noises.

Catastic cats are very friendly, placid & loving. They love our family very much, specially my four young children. They socialize very well with our other pets of the household and are loved very much by us all
