About Us

Our American Shorthair cats are more than just beautiful animals with distinctive tabby patterns and plush coats—they are part of a centuries-old legacy. Known for their easygoing temperament, resilience, and quiet intelligence, these cats have an extraordinary ability to form strong bonds with humans. Whether you’re looking for a kitten to grow up with your children, a gentle companion for your senior years, or a charming soul to keep you company in your daily life, American Shorthairs are a perfect match. They’re affectionate without being overly needy, intelligent without being demanding, and independent without being distant.

At Unique American Shorthair Home, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in terms of health, cleanliness, and genetic integrity. All of our breeding cats are health-tested and cleared of genetic diseases. We work closely with veterinarians to ensure that our kittens receive timely vaccinations, deworming, and health screenings. Every kitten comes with a comprehensive health record, and we provide a written health guarantee because we are confident in the quality and care behind every life we bring into the world.

But beyond health and beauty, what truly sets us apart is our unwavering focus on emotional connection. We believe that trust is the foundation of every lasting relationship—including the one between a breeder and a pet owner. That’s why we stay in touch with every family that adopts from us. We offer support before, during, and long after adoption. We’re available to answer questions about feeding, grooming, behavior, integration with other pets, and anything else that might come up along the way. In many cases, our families become our friends. We celebrate the updates, the birthday photos, the holiday costumes—and we grieve with them when they eventually have to say goodbye after a beautiful life well lived.

Our journey has been filled with joy, learning, and the profound reward of watching our kittens flourish in loving homes. But it’s not always easy. Breeding responsibly takes time, patience, and an incredible amount of heart. We never overbreed our queens. We space our litters carefully to ensure that every mama cat has plenty of time to rest, recover, and be pampered between litters. We believe in quality over quantity—every kitten born here receives individual attention, and we never rush the weaning or socialization process. We wait until our kittens are truly ready—emotionally and physically—to go to their forever homes, which is usually at around 10–12 weeks of age.

The name “Unique American Shorthair Home” reflects more than just our breed specialty. It reflects our philosophy. Each kitten we raise is truly unique—a little soul with its own personality, preferences, and quirks. We take the time to get to know them. Some are bold adventurers who love to explore; others are gentle observers who prefer to sit on your lap and purr. Some love feather toys and chase games, while others prefer a quiet cuddle and a soft blanket. By the time a kitten is ready to go home, we’re able to match them carefully with the right family based on lifestyle, energy level, and what the family is looking for in a feline companion.

We also recognize that not every family comes with years of cat experience, and that’s okay. We welcome first-time cat owners with open arms and provide them with everything they need to succeed. From tips on litter training and feeding schedules to advice on creating a safe, enriching home environment, we are here every step of the way. We include a detailed care guide with every adoption, and we’re just a call or email away if questions arise.

We’re also committed to being transparent and ethical in all aspects of our business. That means no hidden fees, no high-pressure tactics, and no vague promises. We encourage potential families to ask questions, request photos or videos, and even video chat with us if they’re too far away to visit in person. We believe in showing you exactly where and how our kittens are raised, so you can adopt with full confidence and peace of mind.

Over the years, our kittens have gone on to live in homes across the country—from quiet rural farms to high-rise apartments, from big families with children and dogs to single professionals and retirees. The common thread in all of these stories is love. Love is what makes the difference. Love is what turns a kitten into a companion, a house into a home, and a breeder into a trusted partner in your journey.

In addition to breeding, we also invest time in education and advocacy for ethical breeding practices. We are strong supporters of spaying and neutering for pet homes, and we educate all of our adopters on the importance of responsible pet ownership. We also keep in touch with local rescue groups and participate in community events to raise awareness about animal welfare and breed preservation.

One of the most rewarding aspects of our work is watching the connection between human and kitten unfold. There is something magical about the moment a family meets “their” kitten for the first time—the smiles, the giggles, the awe in a child’s eyes. It never gets old. Each adoption day feels like a celebration, and we never take for granted the trust that families place in us.

Our kittens are not products. They are beings—gentle, curious, playful, and deserving of love and protection. That’s why we screen our buyers carefully, not to be elitist, but to ensure that every kitten goes to a home where they will be cherished for life. We have an application process that includes questions about your home environment, your expectations, and your experience with pets. It’s not about judging—it’s about making the best match for both kitten and family.

We are also proud of the diversity in our community. We’ve placed kittens with young couples just starting their lives together, empty nesters looking to fill their homes with companionship, military families, people with special needs, and LGBTQ+ families. We believe that love knows no boundaries, and that every kind, responsible home deserves the joy of an American Shorthair companion.

We are continuously growing, learning, and improving. We attend breeder conferences, read veterinary journals, and seek mentorship from respected names in the feline community. Every decision we make—from diet to litter substrate—is backed by research and a deep desire to do what’s best for our cats. We’ve invested in high-quality food, enrichment tools, air purifiers, and even relaxing classical music to make our home a soothing, healthy environment for both humans and felines.

Our kittens are raised on a premium diet, including both high-quality kibble and wet food, as well as occasional raw feeding depending on the kitten’s needs. We do not cut corners on nutrition because we understand that the foundation for a healthy life starts with what goes into their little bodies during the first months. We also provide age-appropriate toys, climbing structures, cozy sleeping spots, and endless opportunities for play, exploration, and rest.

When you choose Unique American Shorthair Home, you’re not just buying a kitten—you’re joining a family. A family of people who adore cats, respect life, and believe in doing things the right way. You become part of a network that spans across states, a community of fellow kitten parents who share updates, tips, and the pure joy that comes from loving an American Shorthair.

We don’t take shortcuts. We don’t mass-produce. We don’t treat animals as inventory. Each kitten that leaves our arms leaves behind tiny pawprints on our hearts—and we hope they’ll leave the same on yours. This isn’t just what we do. It’s who we are. And it’s why we get up every morning excited to care for the next generation of whiskered wonders.
