Our Story
At Maricela, our passion for British Shorthairs, especially the beloved British Blue, is at the heart of everything we do. From the moment they are born, our kittens are raised in a loving, family-oriented environment. Living alongside our family and other pets, they receive abundant socialisation and affection, ensuring they grow into well-rounded and friendly companions.
A Rich Heritage
The British Blue, a standout among British Shorthairs, boasts a fascinating history. These cats trace their lineage back to the domestic cats that arrived in Britain with the Romans in the 1st Century. The modern British Shorthair breed, as we know it today, began to take shape in the 1880s, spurred by the growing interest in cat shows during that era.
Strength and Elegance
British Shorthairs were once celebrated for their exceptional hunting abilities and physical strength. Today, they are cherished as loyal and affectionate companions, known for their even-tempered and robust nature. These cats are well-suited for families, being comfortable around both adults and children.
