Welcome to Silvercrest British Shorthairs & Florencia Birmans
Exquisite companions, bred with care, quality, and love.

At Silvercrest and Florencia, we specialise in breeding truly exceptional British Shorthairs and Birmans—cats of rare beauty, outstanding temperament, and impeccable pedigree. Nestled near Lincoln in Canterbury, New Zealand, our boutique cattery is dedicated to raising kittens that meet the highest standards of health, socialisation, and breed excellence.

Our kittens are raised in a loving environment, receiving the very best start to life—handled daily, vet-checked, and nurtured for confident, affectionate personalities. We are NZCF Registered and Accredited Breeders, with veterinary-inspected facilities and a strong focus on responsible, ethical breeding.

If you're looking for a lifelong feline companion with grace, charm, and stunning presence, you’re in the right place.

Please enjoy exploring our website, and feel free to reach out—we’d love to help you find your perfect kitten.

If you’re looking for the perfect family companion, look no further than our beautiful Birmans and British Shorthairs. These affectionate, gentle-natured cats are known for forming deep bonds with their humans—they adore being close, love to cuddle, and are wonderfully patient with children and welcoming to guests. Even better, they strike the perfect balance: loving and loyal without being overly demanding, making them ideal for both busy households and peaceful homes. With their sweet personalities and easygoing charm, our kittens are ready to become your new best friend—and a beloved member of your family.

✨ They truly are the most gorgeous friends to have!
I am a proud New Zealand Cat Fancy (NZCF) registered breeder of British Shorthairs and Birmans and hold NZCF Accredited Breeder status. This means that my catteries and the care conditions for all my British Shorthairs and Birmans have been thoroughly inspected by a veterinarian and fully meet the NZCF’s high standards for animal welfare and responsible breeding. The health and well-being of all our cats and kittens is regularly monitored by our trusted vet to ensure they receive the very best care.

🏡 We’re located near Lincoln in the Canterbury region of New Zealand and welcome enquiries from loving homes across the country.
While most of our kittens are sold as cherished pets, we do occasionally consider responsible breeding homes—especially international breeders who share our dedication to quality, temperament, and care.
