Why choose Dabellablu Cattery for your British Shorthair?
As a proud member of the Feline Control Council of Victoria (FCCV), we specialize in breeding healthy, beautiful British Shorthair cats. Our commitment to excellence ensures that each kitten is raised with love and care, ready to find their forever home.
At Dabellablu Cattery, we uphold an uncompromising commitment to producing cats of exceptional quality, where type, temperament, and health are held to the highest professional standards. Our breeding program is built on rigorous, evidence‑based practices designed to ensure the long‑term integrity and excellence of our lines.
Every breeding cat in our program undergoes comprehensive DNA health screening, paired with full blood testing—including FeLV, FIV, and blood typing—without exception. This level of diligence ensures that our kittens are not only exemplary in appearance, but also genetically sound, robust, and reliably healthy. Our focus is the precise balance of structure, size, expression, and the gentle, affectionate temperament for which the breed is internationally respected.
Our dedication to excellence extends into the show ring. We actively exhibit our cats at the highest levels, and our lines have earned multiple titles that reflect the strength and consistency of our breeding program.
Each Dabellablu kitten is raised within our home, receiving daily handling, socialization, and attentive care. This foundation produces companions who are confident, affectionate, and well‑adjusted. We breed selectively, pairing only the finest examples of the breed to consistently produce kittens of exceptional type, temperament, and overall quality.
Kittens leave for their new homes at 12+ weeks of age, thoughtfully prepared for a smooth transition into their families’ lives. We take great pride in entrusting our kittens to owners who value the same standards of care and excellence that define Dabellablu Cattery.

“trustworthy and excellent breeder”
I wholeheartedly recommend Dabellablu if you are looking for a trustworthy and excellent breeder. I have two wonderful British Shorthairs from her cattery and they have brought so much joy into my life.
The kittens are of pure breed quality, backed by an extensive multigenerational pedigree that is clearly provided. This gave me complete confidence in their health and lineage.
From my very first enquiry, Dawn was responsive and helpful. She asked what colour I was after, explained the temperament of the breed, and carefully considered the best match for me. I was given detailed guidance on everything I needed to know, which truly prepared me for success as a cat owner.
Even my vet commented during the second vaccination how perfectly the kittens had been cared for and how everything was done exactly as recommended up to handover. That level of professionalism is rare and speaks volumes about her dedication.
What impressed me most was the ongoing support. Dawn is incredibly generous with her time, always sharing her knowledge and assisting with any questions,even when my cat Bao Bao was sick and I was worried. Her calm and gentle presence is evident in her interactions with the cats. They are relaxed and happy around her, and she can even trim their nails effortlessly, something I struggled with myself.
Beyond the practical care, her genuine love for the cats shines through. My kittens are affectionate, playful, and beautifully socialised. Bao Bao loves curling up beside me in the evenings, while my other cat greets visitors with curiosity and friendliness. Friends and family often comment on how healthy and stunning they are, and it is clear they were raised in a nurturing environment.
Communication has always been easy, and the service has been exceptional. I am so grateful for the wonderful cats she has entrusted to me, which is why I now have two separate kittens from Dabellablu.
If you are considering a British Shorthair, I cannot recommend Dabellablu British Shorthair Cattery enough. You will not only receive a beautiful, healthy kitten but also the ongoing support of a breeder who truly cares

“true animal lover and breeder of the most beautiful British Shorthair”
Dawn is true animal lover and breeder of the most beautiful British Shorthair kitties. She offers lifetime support for all her kittens, so I can contact her whenever I have questions or concerns. I love that she wants to follow how her kittens are doing after adoption and watch them grow up.
We have the most gorgeous little black girl, Treacle, from Dawn. She has a super playful, but affectionate temperament and we love her to bits. She’s also settled in really well in our senior tabby cat, Cato. Also, Treacle is the first kitten we’ve owned who plays fetch!
