Since 2009, we have been showing and raising Scottish Fold kittens & British Shorthair kittens. We are preservation breeders, selecting the best physical characteristics and temperaments that complement each other. This ensures that their offspring will grow into classic representatives of their breed.
Long before showing cats, we lived on a small farm where we raised dairy goats and sheep. When we moved into town with our four children, we entered the world of rabbits, 4-H, and ARBA.
Because of our passion for animals, we became known as the family who took in strays, especially orphaned kittens. It was through this experience that we were led to the world of cats, where we have put our passion ever since.

We are members of both major cat registries in the USA – The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) and The International Cat Association (TICA). Our cats have competed in both organizations, where our foundation cats were chosen based on how they performed on the show table.
This was done by being rigorously and objectively compared to other top cats in their breed by judges who specialized in the breeds. Once championed, they were thoroughly health checked and tested to ensure optimum healthy genetics would be passed down to their Scottish Fold kittens & British Shorthair kittens.
We chose British Shorthair kittens and Scottish Fold kittens because they share a great deal of history and can be cross-bred with each other. Also, they are old-world farm cats with few health issues. Both breeds are sturdy in build, solid in temperament, and “kick-back” in personality.
Also, they can live in most any type of household, from a quiet small household to a very noisy large one. They are also independent enough to entertain themselves or curl up and relax instead of demanding attention. They also get along great with other pets and children as well.

As a general rule, we do not ship. We would like our kittens picked up personally. On a rare occasion, we have shipped young adult cats who can manage the stress of shipping. However, a shipped cat would not come with a health guarantee, beyond a vet health check certificate, should the stress cause any illness. All cats/kittens bred by SB Cattery come with a limited genetic health guarantee.
