At Silvercrest, we offer something truly rare: British Shorthairs of distinguished lineage, exceptional beauty, and outstanding temperament.

We specialise in Silver Black Tipped, Golden Point, and Golden British Shorthair cats, each carefully selected for breed purity, elegance, and companionable nature.

The Silver Black Tipped British Shorthair is known for its refined beauty—smooth, snow-white coats delicately tipped in black, with striking green eyes, dark paw cushions, and black eye rims that create a naturally outlined, expressive look. These cats are intelligent, affectionate, and calm—a perfect match for a peaceful, elegant home.

The Golden Point British Shorthairs are rarer still, with soft golden-pointed coats, subtle black-tipped accents, and typically mesmerizing blue eyes. They are gentle, affectionate, and thrive on companionship.

Our Golden British Shorthairs boast richly shaded golden coats and that signature British Shorthair expression—round, sweet, and utterly charming. Their temperament is balanced, affectionate, and easygoing—ideal for refined family life.

At Silvercrest, every kitten is the result of careful planning, high ethical standards, and a passion for excellence. We welcome enquiries from those seeking more than just a pet—those who seek a lifelong companion of beauty, grace, and proven heritage.

At Silvercrest, the standard of health care is uncompromising. All of our cats are regularly vet-checked, raised in a clean, enriched environment, and nurtured with premium nutrition and individual attention. We are proud to be NZCF Accredited Breeders, meaning our cattery and care practices meet the highest standards in feline welfare and breeding ethics.

Transport throughout New Zealand and internationally can be arranged with care and professionalism.
Whether you are located locally or abroad, we are experienced in arranging safe and stress-free travel for our kittens, working with trusted pet transport specialists to ensure your new companion arrives healthy, calm, and well-cared-for.

Our breeding cats are selected exclusively from noble European bloodlines, many of which trace directly back to the renowned Ars Britannica cattery in Poland. We are deeply grateful to Anna Ferenc for her expertise and generosity in supporting our vision to breed cats of true genetic integrity, superb type, and impeccable temperament.

Our British Shorthairs come from exclusive Ars Britannica lines, known across Europe for their genetic excellence, striking beauty, and exceptional temperament. We are honoured to continue these lines here in New Zealand, thanks to the generosity and guidance of Anna Ferenc.
