Copyright © Carinya British Shorthairs 2016

Carinya British began in Townsville in the 1970's. We bred most available colours at that time including the fabulous blue, black, white, cream, red, torties and the stunning silver tabbies - particularly silver spotted. Carinya achieved considerable success with our kittens and cats winning many awards at shows and breeding many lovely kittens over the years.


When we decided to move to Toowoomba though, we needed to scale back so just a few Exotics and Persians made the move. Before much longer, Burmese entered our lives and these have had pride of place in our home until more recently when we decided we needed to include British once again. This time we will concentrate on blue only.












As well as British S/H, we also breed Burmese under the Jovelles Prefix.  While we will still breed Burmese along with the British, the numbers are being reduced so that we can continue to give all the love and attention they ALL require.



Introducing the wonderful Singapura - CCCA GC & Supreme Champion Ithaca Tell Em All. Merlin has never been a breeding cat but is rather my wonderful bed buddy and total sook. He loves babies and helps raise kittens in a gentle and loving manner.









Since starting up breeding British again, we have had a few  litters and expect more in coming months. All Carinya British will have had two vaccinations, been desexed as well as micro-chipped before moving to their furr-ever homes. We only sell breeding cats to registered breeders - no exceptions! All  kittens also receive their registration / pedigree as well as comprehensive care information and kitten kit.
