The RPBA proudly backs this trusted list of British Shorthair breeders – individuals who’ve raised their hands to say, “We’re doing this properly.” Every breeder here has committed to our Code of Ethics and keeps in step with local council rules and animal welfare legislation set by their state.
Bringing a British Shorthair into your life isn’t just about those plush coats or that signature teddy bear charm. It starts well before the purring begins. A breeder’s choices – what they feed, how they raise, who they pair with – set the tone for that kitten’s health, temperament, and future happiness in your home.
That’s why RPBA doesn’t just rubber-stamp anyone with a litter. We highlight breeders who roll up their sleeves and do the work: clean spaces, balanced diets, hands-on social time, and health checks that catch issues before they take root.
A British Shorthair raised with care doesn’t just settle into family life – they stroll in with quiet confidence, ready to bond and stick by your side. They’re less likely to come with the rough edges or health setbacks you often find from rushed or careless breeding. Choosing a kitten from a registered RPBA breeder means saying no to the churn of kitten farms and yes to animal-first care.

Responsible breeding isn’t just about paperwork. It’s about choosing strong lines, avoiding shortcuts, and putting character first. It’s about raising kittens who meet the world with calm curiosity – not fear or stress baked in from poor handling or isolation.
