LAZIBLUES Cattery is a registered name with The International Cat Association (TICA) and the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA). We are located in New York City and Westchester County and specialize in breeding blue and lilac British Shorthair cats. During the first few years of the cattery’s existence, we stayed true to those colors working with mostly European bloodlines from Belgium, Netherlands, and France. Later on, we added new lines from Australia, Denmark, and United Kingdom. We have also discovered and grown to love other, more rare colors of British Shorthair such as chocolate, black, and some tabby varieties such as a lilac tabby and chocolate tabby. Our cat’s ancestors include such European titles as World Champions, Grand International Champions, and Grand European Champions. We have been actively showing cats, and now our cats include Regional and International Winners. This year our youngest stud male IW SGC Laziblues Earl Grey became 6th Best Cat Internationally in TICA.

At LAZIBLUES we are dedicated to breeding healthy and happy British Shorthair cats that make affectionate companions as well as exceptional competitors at a show ring. Our British Shorthair cats are not kept in cages or enclosures but live as a part of the family. This ensures cats’ calm demeanor towards people and loyalty to the family. The only separation we observe is between males and females, and females with young kittens. Our British Shorthair cats like to cuddle and purr non-stop for hours at a time. The British Shorthair kittens from their birth enjoy the love and undivided attention of the whole household.

British Shorthair are very friendly and affectionate cats that appreciate attention without becoming a nuisance. They crave and enjoy the attention, but do this in an undemanding way, which some people learn to appreciate a great deal. British Shorthair males usually act as if they are the “boss” in the family, and prefer to be treated with respect. However, they also biggest goofballs, and although they typically are not very active cats, every once in a while they like to pretend they are still kittens and run around as such. British Shorthair males are large and strong cats, so if you have downstairs neighbors, during those goofball times they may think you keep elephants as pets. Nevertheless, these cats make wonderful pets for apartments or houses as they are not destructive whatsoever. We manage to keep about between 20 and 40 pots of different plants (depending on the season), and this number does not decrease due to the cat’s activity.
