MY NAME IS MELANIE AMANN AND I AM BASED NEAR SALISBURY, WILTSHIRE. I AM A SMALL HOBBY BREEDER AND EXHIBITOR OF BRITISH SHORTHAIR CATS. MY PREFIX (AVELLOSO) IS REGISTERED WITH THE G.C.C.F. AND OTHER GOVERNING BODIES AND CAT CLUBS THROUGHOUT THE U.K.

MY CATS ARE BRED FOR TEMPERAMENT AND TYPE, WHILST FOLLOWING THE RULES AND GUIDELINES AS SET BY THE G.C.C.F. AND F.A.B.

QUALITY IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO US THAN QUANTITY AS WE ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN BREEDING BEAUTIFUL, CHUNKY, CONFIDENT AND HAPPY FELINE FRIENDS...

THE COLOURS WHICH WE ARE CONCENTRATING ON FOR BRITISH SHORTHAIRS ARE CHOCOLATE, LILAC AND CREAM IN SELFS, TORTIES AND COLOURPOINTS. OUR SELKIRK REX KITTENS WILL BE THE SAME COLOURS PLUS BI-COLOURS AND TORTIE & WHITES.

OUR CATS HAVE THEIR OWN OUTDOOR RETREATS WITH FLOWERS, SHRUBBERY AND BIRD TABLE TO ATTRACT THE WILDLIFE AND A WINDMILL TO ATTRACT THE CHILDREN!!! THEY ALSO COME INDOORS REGULARLY FOR GROOMING/PLAYING AND TAKE IT IN TURNS ON ROTATION TO BE THE INDOOR CAT WHO GETS THE MOST FUSS!!! KITTENS ARE ALL BORN AND RAISED INDOORS, UNDERFOOT AND START THEIR LIVES IN MY KITTEN ROOM WHERE THEIR MOTHER TAKES HER MATERNITY LEAVE. ONCE THEY ARE AROUND 4 WEEKS OLD, THEY ARE INTRODUCED TO THE USUAL HOUSEHOLD HUSSLE AND BUSSLE AND THEIR MOTHER STAYS WITH THEM INDOORS UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO LEAVE FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES.

GUIDELINES FOR BREEDERS AND NEW OWNERS, SHOWING & BREEDING INFORMATION. ANY NEW KITTENS WILL BE IN THE NURSERY AND PLEASE READ OUR KITTEN INFORMATION PAGE FOR OUR KITTEN HOMING POLICIES...
