Welcome

Welcome to my website. I am a small hobby breeder of British Shorthair cats based in Worthing, West Sussex. Fairyfeet is my GCCF registered prefix, and I subscribe to the GCCF code of ethics. I aim to breed healthy, happy, affectionate British Shorthair cats that are of excellent type and superb temperament making them purrrfect family pets!

My cats are first and foremost my very much loved and spoilt pets. They live either in our house with us, or in our luxury cat houses with heating and lights and even their own garden space! From their run they can watch the birds and see us in the house – they have a great view of the kitchen and are often seen perching on their "balconies" watching us in the house or watching the kids playing in the garden! They all enjoy time in their own garden, climbing up the ladders and platforms that Steve has made for them, playing and basking in the sun. We have foxes here and whilst my cats love the fresh air and freedom of the garden, we want to keep them safe so their runs and the cat garden have been fox proofed with mesh around all sides including the floor and roof.

My Cats

All of my cats are sociable, fun, loving, and enjoy being with me, my partner Steve, and our young children. 

We have several cats on our bed every night and they are very much part of our family and our lives, talking to us and bossing us around every day. Spike, one of our neuters, plays fetch with screwed up post it notes and hairbands (he can sniff out a hairband at 50 paces), Lilly waits at the door every day for Steve to come home, and if he lets her, she will clean his hair for him ! Bertie, my stud boy, enjoys being pushed around the house by my children in their toy pram and always sits on a bar stool next to me in the evening.
They all have immense characters and are a joy to have around. Although I breed for type and always try to improve the breed with every mating, I consider personality to be a pre-requisite for a British Shorthair. Cats with terrible temperaments will not become loved and prized pets, and don’t tend to do too well on the show bench either!
