We
are breeders of the British Shorthair Cats and we are based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
We specialise in Self colours including Blue, Cream, Lilac, Chocolate, and Cinnamon, we also breed Blue/Cream torties and Tipped British Shorthair cats.
We are delighted to announce that weare part of the UK and European Cinnamon breeding programme. Many thanks to Malcolm and Christine Stephenson for entursting one of their beautiful girls to us.
Our main priority here at ARDEEVAN British
Shorthair cats is to breed quality, healthy
kittens with fun loving and outgoing personalities.
Health, temperament and type are of paramount
importance to us.
We fell in love with the British Shorthair cat with their chunky legs ... cobby body
...big cheeks ... plush, velvet like coat...
beautiful dreamy eyes… and of course that
wonderful... laid back, chilled out personality.

2005 as a beautiful kitten brimming
with playfulness and personality.

well on the show bench, becoming

The only way to describe Sadhbh
is to say she is a total cuddle

supreme. Sadhbh is on her way to becoming an International Champion having won her first Championship Certificate in Ireland in February 2008. Sadhbh's Pedigree

This is Oisin (Welqust Oisin Dubh) 15 Black (Neuter)
Oisin
our black boy.
What can I possible say about
this beautiful boy, what a wonderful
coat, and eye colour to die
for. Oisin came to us
in 2005 from the Welqust line.
From the moment he set foot
in our house he was at home.
He and Cu became inseparable
for many months while he was
a kitten. Now he
is all grown up and in a very
short space of time he won his
premier title. He
is simply stunning.
This
is Eimer
16 Blue (Neuter)
Eimer
and Cu Chulainn
our two blue kittens that came
to us as sister and brother.
She is a lovely cat, although
a little bossy with the rest
of the furry family she is very
affectionate. We showed
Eimer for several months during
2004, alas she decided she was
not happy attending shows so
we retired her and now she lives
the quiet life of sleeping and
eating and wondering around
her domain.
This is Cu
Chulainn 16 Blue (Neuter)
Cu
Chulainn is our big beautiful
blue boy. He
is the big teddy bear of the
family. He’s just
a soft, gentle giant of a cat.
Cu gained his premier title
in just 5 shows as an adult,
following this achievement we
decided to retire him from the
show bench to allow us to concentrate
on gaining titles for our breeding
girls. Not too sure if
the early mornings suited our
big teddy really. I hope
all the blue boys we produce
turn out like our Cu, if so,
their new families will be very
happy parents. Cu Chulainn
is a super example of a British
Shorthair Blue.
Ardeevan Kittens
Here are someof the kittens that have gone to their new homes and families.
If you are looking for that special furry person to become part of your family, we hope Ardeevan can be the ones to bring you together.
