British Shorthair Cats in Ohio: Independent, Quiet and Easy to Live With
If you work long hours or simply prefer a calm home, this breed fits. British Shorthairs are content to nap through your workday, then greet you with a quiet chirp and settle nearby for the evening. Their plush, dense coat and round face are matched by an equally steady, unflappable temperament.

Need to Know
• Winter weight gain is common; measure meals and play daily.
• Golden and silver coats usually pair with green eyes.
• Ask about PKD DNA tests and HCM screening.
• They mature slowly, over three to five years.
• Weekly brushing, more during spring and fall sheds.
• Most prefer company beside them to being carried.
FAQs
They are calm rather than lazy. Kittens are lively, and adults enjoy short bursts of play, which help prevent weight gain.
What is a golden British Shorthair?
Golden describes a warm apricot coat, often shaded or ticked, usually with green eyes. It is a color variety, not a separate breed.
What is the difference between British Shorthair and British Longhair?
They share the same build and temperament. The Longhair has a semi-long, fuller coat that needs more brushing.
How long do they live?
With good care and a healthy weight, many live into their mid-teens.
How will my kitten get to Ohio?
Choose ground delivery within 500 miles, air cargo, or a flight nanny who travels in the cabin to the airport you choose. You can also pick up your kitten in person.

Adopting our new kitten from Purebred Kitties was a wonderful experience. The process was smooth and clear, leaving no room for confusion. Alona's kindness and genuine care shone through as she promptly answered all my questions. Thanks to the whole team, our new furry family member is now home and already cherished beyond words!

Purebredkitties has been absolutely wonderful. They made everything so easy and stress-free. Adoption specialist Kim A was fantastic, always going the extra mile to help me. She even responded to my email at 3 am her time! 😊 This whole experience has been truly heartwarming and rewarding.

Our experience with Purebredkitties was wonderful! Communication was great, and we even got to FaceTime with our kitten before bringing her home. She was exactly as we expected and is already doing great with our family after just two days. One small note is that pedigree papers weren't included and cost extra, which was a bit pricey since she arrived spayed. Overall, even though it was expensive, it was worth it. The quality and size of our kitten are amazing!

The whole experience of adopting a pet with this fantastic team has been nothing short of wonderful. Now, I have the joy of being a devoted pet mom to a gorgeous kitten I named Princess. I'm already looking forward to adopting another fur baby with Maria's help in the future. I'm absolutely thrilled and can't thank you all enough!

The whole journey to bring our fluffy bundle of joy home was fantastic. Maria is incredibly kind and always ready to answer all our questions. I really appreciate how seriously they take the health of the cats. Our kitten arrived with a minor case of the sniffles, likely from the airport travel, but it was easily and quickly resolved. Plus, the video call we had to meet our little guy beforehand was a wonderful way to get a glimpse of his personality and feel confident in our decision. I'm definitely recommending Purebred Kitties to all my friends who are looking to get their own Maine Coon.
